  • 91mobiles

    Tested the India Core Ultra 7 155H / RTX 4050 (120 W) / 16GB version at about Rs 1.4 lakh: efficient with excellent battery life, but similar performance costs less, so wait for a price cut.

  • NotebookcheckAug 2024

    Tested a global Core Ultra 9 185H / RTX 4070 (125 W) / 32GB / 3K 165Hz unit: plenty of gaming power in a compact 14.5-inch body, with good runtimes.

  • Tom's HardwareSep 2024

    Tested a US Core Ultra 7 155H / RTX 4070 (125 W) / 16GB / 1600p unit: good 1600p gaming and a full feature set, though it needs polish in places.
