Expected, the storage is hybrid. So we take advantage of both great responsiveness and fluidity thanks to the very fast dedicated SSD of 256 GB expected to house the system as well as the main games / software, as well as a comfortable capacity thanks to the hard disk of 1000 GB which can welcome the rest, swift model with its speed of 7200 rpm against 5400 rpm usually.
With its dedicated high-end GeForce GTX 1070 card, this notebook is able to run at a good level of detail the most recent games and demanding graphics resources.
In practice, the GeForce GTX 1070 is leveraged by embedded NVIDIA Optimus technology when it comes to performing graphic processing deemed too heavy for the Intel UHD 630 housed in Coffee Lake which, despite its modest performance, is indeed maximized by Optimus because of its reduced energy consumption which promotes autonomy. Depending on the needs, Optimus switches automatically and in real time between the Intel UHD 630 and the GeForce GTX 1070, both obviously allowing to watch photos and videos.
With its 16 / 9th format and its Full HD definition, the screen lends itself well to this use and especially High Definition content. Anti-reflective, the screen provides better visibility than a bright tile in a bright environment. With 120Hz screen frequency 2 times above average, fluency is improved in games.
The integrated connectivity is good by the way, including Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi ac modules to communicate and connect wirelessly remotely, HDMI video outputs and mini-DisplayPort convenient to easily connect this PC to a TV or monitor by example, Ethernet and audio ports, 1 USB 3.1 Type-C or 3 USB 3.1 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it .
Lastly, let\’s mention the presence of Killer Gamer Lan technology to give network priority to online games, in order to seduce players. In the same vein, the chiclet keyboard has been adapted to the habits of the players with the help of SteelSeries and benefits from a RGB backlight system of practical keys to distinguish them correctly in the dim light.
