Since this is not a gaming-focused laptop, but due to the high price and the "Pro" in the product name, all I'm gonna way is that the newest games may not run as well as you expect, because of the 8 GB VRAM:

Dec 2, 2022: youtube.com/watch?v=tPbIsxIQb8M: "8GB RTX 3060 - Same Name, Same Price, Less Performance" <- This one is just one of the first(?) ramp-ups and over the years more and more games come out, with heavier and heavier penalties on 8 GB VRAM.
Apr 10, 2023: youtube.com/watch?v=Rh7kFgHe21k: "16GB vs. 8GB VRAM: Radeon RX 6800 vs. GeForce RTX 3070, 2023 Revisit"
Jun 25, 2024: youtube.com/watch?v=dx4En-2PzOU: "How Much VRAM Do Gamers Need? 8GB, 12GB, 16GB or MORE?"
Apr 9, 2025: youtube.com/watch?v=e4GCxObZrZE: "This is what happens when you run out of VRAM... Say NO to 8GB GPUs!"
Aug 22, 2025: youtube.com/watch?v=ric7yb1VaoA: "Gaming Laptops are in Trouble - VRAM Testing w/ ‪@Hardwareunboxed‬"
As more and more people upgrade to the PS5, more and more AAA games, that come out, may not run well on 8 GB VRAM, even in 1080p.

But why are 8 GB VRAM such an interesting limit?
Big AAA games are often developed for consoles first and the PS5 has 16 GB VRAM. Yes, unlike in a PC, some of it is used by the OS, but not 8 GB, more like 4 GB, and so it becomes 8 GB VRAM dGPU vs 12 GB VRAM. I would not even blame the game developers for not optimizing, because time is money and I don't think it's easy to optimize and fit 12 GB of content into 8 GB.

The only question is: Do GPU makers see it being worth using GDDR7 3 GB densities (currently, only the 5090 Laptop GPU uses 3 GB densities, the rest uses 2 GB per chip) on this kind of low GPU performance (like this 5050 Laptop) GPUs. The 4050 had 6 GB VRAM, so it's already an improvement.

(For the ones who don't know: The rumor is that e.g. the 5070 SUPER is gonna use 3 GB per chip, this will increase its VRAM by 50%: 12 GB -> 18 GB, and same for the 5070 Ti SUPER:
Quote from: notebookcheck.net/RTX-5070-Super-specs-price-and-release-date-leaks-New-Super-board-brings-more-VRAM-at-higher-price-vs-RTX-5070.1047749.0.htmlThis is great news, as it is a 50% increase over the 12 GB of VRAM, which was one of the biggest complaints when it comes to the RTX 5070. The bus width, however, allegedly remains the same at a 192-bit.
Indeed it is the biggest complaint. Allegedly? Of course it will remain the same (already the case for the 5090 Laptop (256-bit chip), as mentioned), just 3 GB per GDDR7 chip will be used, instead of the current 2 GB. A single GDDR7 memory chip uses 32-bit wide lanes, 192-bit / 32-bit per chip = 6 GDDR7 chips. 6 chips * 3 GB per chip = 18 GB.)

Amazon Luna has expanded the December 2025 free games lineup again. This time, the new additions came ahead of the regular schedule, and both of them are critically acclaimed titles: Fallout and Fallout 2.

I do not know, but community of gamers and devs should step up and make some sort of port, however if the code is not opensource it could be difficult. Also I dont understand steam because in steam a lot of good old games 32 bit it could years to remake them in 64 bit... ofc what I am talking evrything for corporate greed who gives a sh.t for these concerns of simple customers. MS proved corporation always right and client should obey everything whatever it says)))

Ein Garmin-System hat möglicherweise Leben gerettet. Konkret konnte ein Flugzeug mit einem solchen nicht nur automatisch landen, sondern hat auch die Kommunikation mit der Flugsicherung übernommen.

Quote from: UmstrittenerNutzer on Yesterday at 18:26:27Wer hat so viel Zeit zum spielen, wenn er nicht arbeitslos ist, schul- sowie freundesdesinteressierter Jugendlicher oder Gamingsüchtig?

In meiner Abteilung arbeiten nur 2 von 10 die volle 40, einfach weils Geld fürs kinderlose Leben reicht. Wer mehr arbeitet, bekommt sowieso wegen Steuern und Sozialabgaben kaum mehr raus. Und Freunde trifft man als Gamer natürlich Online.

Very interesting and I think profitable idea. I think it is for corporate clients which value their corporate secrets, but how about worker who uses this phone is this phone for private and corporate use?! Can this phone record all what worker says and etc etc... So again this is a problem with privacy.

So paradox es klingen mag: Die dunklen Wintermonate sind oft der beste Zeitpunkt für den Kauf von Balkonkraftwerken - das zeigt sich in verschiedensten sehr guten Angeboten.

Still the Huawei Pura X has the best form factor by far. Proper wide screen when unfolded similar to a tablet for content consumption.

Wie hoch sind denn die Latenzen dieser "high end" SSDs? Gibt's da einen spürbaren Unterschied zu den billigeren Varianten?

Known-leaker Ice Universe has revealed the screen sizes and aspect ratios of the Apple iPhone Fold and the Samsung Wide Fold. Both phones appear remarkably similar at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, a major design difference starts to appear between the two foldable phones.
