Frequently Asked Questions
What does "renewed" mean for this laptop?
Renewed means the laptop has been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition by a qualified refurbisher. It may show minor cosmetic signs of previous use but is functionally equivalent to a new unit.
What kind of gaming performance can I expect from the RTX 3060 in this laptop?
The NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 6GB GDDR6 handles most modern games at 1080p on high settings with smooth frame rates, and the 144Hz display takes full advantage of higher frame rates in esports and competitive titles.
Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?
The laptop ships with 64GB DDR4 RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD. The storage can typically be upgraded or supplemented, though RAM is already at a generous capacity for gaming and multitasking.
Does it come with Windows 10 or can it run Windows 11?
It ships with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The 12th Gen Intel processor meets Windows 11 hardware requirements, so upgrading to Windows 11 is possible.
How is the battery life for non-gaming use?
The 3-cell 53 Whr battery is modest for a 17.3-inch laptop. Expect a few hours of light productivity or media consumption, but gaming will require the 240W power adapter.
