Literally a masterpiece. I just wish the graphics were a bit stronger.

The fast processor handles multitasking well and is enough for my schoolwork. The integrated GPU runs games smoother than my old laptop, but graphics quality could be better.

The iGPU is weak with max 20W TDP. It offers 0.8 TFLOPS. Desktop i3 with 45W TDP has 1.4 TFLOPS.

For this 6-core (4E + 2P), 8 threads CPU, they should have made it 12 threads with 6 cores as (4P + 2E) and a better iGPU performance.

The processor looks good in tests but loses performance in heavy tasks or games with external graphics.
