Of course, you won't be able to fully compete with the new ones, but the work on it is not so slow either. The processor has 4 cores and 8 threads, which is not bad on the one hand, but on the other hand, 2 cores with 4 threads would be enough for such a model, because this CPU will not be able to fully reveal its capabilities.The processor clock speed is 1.6 GHz, there is a possibility of overclocking up to 3.9 GHz and it is better to do it right away. The installed amount of RAM - 8 GB type - DDR4 with a frequency of 2400 MHz.

However, the most interesting thing about this laptop is the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, which makes the device unplayable. Of course, the user will be able to spend time in several online games such as LoL, DOTA 2 Reborn, WoT without any problems, but this is also available thanks to good optimization from the game developers, not the GPU.

The laptop has a processor codenamed Kaby Lake R - Intel Core i7-8550U. Unfortunately, it is sold not overclocked, so the clock frequency is 1.8 GHz, after the boost it will become 4 GHz.
