I think this little machine is a fantastic way to play games on the go.
The screen is really bright, a fantastic max resolution of the built in 1560x1600 touch screen is sharp and colourful. Screen refresh rate can be changed via Lenovo's quick access menu to change video settings on the fly. This screen (especially with the kickstand) would be fantastic for movie watching or YouTube browsing and of course Gaming!
Although it is not the world most powerful mobile windows 11 machine, it still has plenty of power to play some lighter titles at higher framerate or some AAA titles at lower resolutions or framerates. This little machine has really impressed me overall. i could quite happily play fallout 4 on a mix of med/high settings, in diamond city ( demanding part of the game) and get around 45FPS, which on controller feels surprisingly smooth.
Battery Life could be better, however on the 30W max performance setting, I'm getting around an hour on some more demanding titles while on battery power alone.
Overall, this may struggle with AAA titles on higher res or game settings, but can once turned down, it can play it very nicely. For any other controller supported game, this is a fantastic way to play games on the go. I had a 3050TI Gaming laptop before, however I would choose this all day every day over a Gaming laptop for the ease of portability in the back of a car, on a plane or sitting on the living room sofa.
The only thing I don't enjoy about this machine is the quality of the speakers, as they are really tinny and not very good quality. They do get fairly loud for the device if you turn up the volume, however I would recommend some earbuds or headphones if you're a serious gamer or movie watcher.
