Frequently Asked Questions

A 256GB SSD can hold a few modern games, but many large titles might need to be installed on the included 2TB HDD, which offers more capacity but slower load times.
The Intel ARC A370M is capable of running many current AAA games, but for smoother performance, especially at 144Hz, settings might need to be adjusted to medium or lower.
A 144Hz refresh rate display provides much smoother motion and responsiveness compared to standard 60Hz screens, which is a significant advantage in fast-paced gaming.
Modifications by a third party, even professional upgrades, can sometimes impact the original manufacturer's warranty, so it's advisable to clarify the warranty specifics.
