    Not bad overall

    This PC works very well.
    Bluffing cooling system.
    Good responsiveness.
    "Idea about CyberPunk

    Weak point:
    - The integrated speakers have to be deactivated, it buzzes or crackles since receiving the product.
    - Battery: 1h to 1h30 charge if you play with it. For office use, no worries for 4h30 - 5h.
    - Plastic chassis, fairly thin.

    Good PC

    I was very pleased with the quality of the product and the service.
    Nothing to complain about. A computer that is quick to start up and complete, with some connections that could have been present (for example, a displayport in addition to the usb-c which is a displayport)

    an excellent gamer pc

    I've been using it for a week now and I'm very happy with it, it runs great, it doesn't get hot and it's very quiet
    The screen is very bright! The only problem is that I'm lost in Windows 11,
    I'm not sure what to say, but it's great for the price!
