The 16.1 w/ the RTX-4070 512gb ssd 16gb memory is a beast! And, alleviate your storage needs w/ a 1tb Western Digital WD P-40 external SSD hard drive. I’m running Baldurs Gate 3 and Fallout 76 downloaded onto the external and it’s running great. 144hz is a softer view so nice for gaming for a while. It’s maybe not quite as crisp as a 165hz more modern OLED, but idc for under $1k it’s a deal! Definitely recommend as an experienced PC-Gamer for over 20 years. Try it for yourself at a location first to see the display diff, if it matters that much. This thing performs!

Its a good solid computer. The few games I've played have looked great. I primarily use it for 3D design and cad and it works great, the screen size gives you plenty of space to draw and having the hdmi output i can use a second monitor for more space. Battery life could be better but it is to be expected with how powerful the laptop is. Per my luck my screen came with a blemish hopefully thats just a me thing. If you can get this on sale i would say you best buy it.
