NotebookcheckJun 2025
Tested A2XWHG (Core Ultra 7 255HX, RTX 5070 Ti 140 W, 16 GB, 512 GB): a well-equipped 16-inch gamer with steady performance and a good screen, held back by small niggles like idle fan noise and an odd keyboard.

Stuff (South Africa)Jun 2025
Tested Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB: lots of power and a good fast screen for the money, but a dull, heavy body and poor battery mean it should stay on the desk.

ITC.uaJul 2025
Tested Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5080 175 W, 32 GB/1 TB: a desktop-class machine for gamers and creators that stays cool without throttling, but is really meant to be used plugged in.
