Remember that when dust particles clog your air circulation ports, your PC immediately starts slowing down, and may even stop working from the inside. If you do not become keen on how your laptop is ‘feeling’ then soon enough, it will stop functioning, and shut down. Over time, the surfaces of your devices accumulate dust and other dirt.

Most gamers do not understand that machines demand constant maintenance. Take some precautionary measures to prevent power surge issues from affecting the power flow in your device. Overall, gaming will dictate that you keep your device connected to a power source, regardless of whether it is a laptop or a desktop. In a bid to preserve the battery’s longevity, most people will overlook the essence of working away from a permanent power source. Even then, gaming consumes a lot of power, which means you may need to keep recharging your battery. Remember, laptops are built for use away from a permanent power source. I was playing Elden Ring at 4K resolution with high settings, and it was running at about at 30–40FPS which is far from a bad result for this kind of hardware.As mentioned above, the power management of your laptop has a significant role to play in the overall functionality of your device during gaming.

You can connect an external monitor along with a mouse and keyboard, and play games with much higher settings. This is an external GPU dock, meaning it lets you connect a much more powerful graphics card - up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop, in the latest model - and it also gives you a lot more ports. Of course, it's still a laptop processor with integrated graphics, but if you want a more serious desktop gaming experience, there's the Asus ROG XG Mobile. Microsoft knows PC users love playing games. There isn't a lot I can say about performance based on this short hands-on time, but this is pretty fast hardware. Turn on gaming mode Windows is already conveniently built for gaming. With a screen this small, you can play games at 720p and not notice a big difference, and with upscaling, I didn't see anything that looked subpar. It was running at high settings and 720p resolution, with Radeon Super Resolution enabled to increase the sharpness. There weren't a ton of games for us to try at the show, but I did get to play Ghostrunner, a fairly intense and fast 2020 slasher, and it was all pretty smooth.
