    Good machine

    The expected performance is there.
    The battery doesn't last very long once you push the graphics card a bit, but I expected that.

    Perfectly compliant

    Perfectly compliant computer, very well packaged and received very quickly. Despite having a bit of trouble initialising the Microsoft account at first (internet problem), it works perfectly and without a hitch. Responsive PC, extremely fluid, excellent graphics and above all super quiet!

    A good product, but...

    I'm happy with this PC, but it tends to heat up quickly as soon as you start a game.
    On some platforms, during the first few minutes, the screen sometimes cuts out for a second or shows pixel bars before returning to normal, but this isn't systematic. I had to relaunch the platform more than once for the problem to stop.

    Very good product

    Fast computer, large storage capacity. Good graphics card. Good processor....
    The only downside is that it really isn't beautiful. But it doesn't matter.
