On the other hand, we notice the absence of a numeric keypad, which is standard from 15 inches to easily enter numbers, which some will not fail to deplore.

Players will appreciate the screen's 165Hz frequency, which is higher than the classic 60Hz because it provides better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life.
As a bonus, the screen is adorned with 2.5K High Definition superior to Full HD while its 16/10th format, higher than the classic 16/9th, displays more elements.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen offering more faithful than average sRGB colorimetry benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.

Creatives will appreciate that these components provide faster processing than a model based on a classic Quad/Hexa Core, the difference being particularly notable in areas demanding RAM and CPU resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.

Creators will be all the more interested as their processing is accelerated by the dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing graphics card on board. And this under applications taking advantage of GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, Vegas or VSDC.

However, the GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing is a high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card with which you can play recent games.
Under the heaviest opuses in 3D resources, however, some concessions are necessary to obtain good playability.
Because playing in 2.5K requires more graphics calculations than playing in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

NVIDIA Optimus technology actually uses the GeForce RTX 4060 to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, both of which of course allow you to view HD photos and videos.

The Iris

This represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration.
