Installing Windows 11 was straightforward, though it is worth noting that even the latest version 24H2 did not automatically detect the Wi-Fi card. We had to manually add the drivers, which Acemagic provides in a full package online . While a pre-built Windows 11 Pro image is available from the manufacturer, we opted for a clean setup . For optimal performance, we highly recommend installing the latest AMD Chipset and AMD Radeon Display immediately after installation .

All benchmarks were conducted in Performance Mode. This mode raises platform power limits (reaching a CPU Package Power of 59.1W) and uses a more aggressive fan curve to sustain higher boost clocks.

All results shown below were captured with the system set to Performance mode. This mode generally enables higher sustained boost clocks by raising platform power limits and using a more aggressive fan curve. Accordingly, the numbers represent best-case performance for this configuration. Balanced mode typically trades some sustained performance for lower noise and lower power draw.

The table below lists only titles where explicit FPS numbers were published.

The measurements in this review were taken in Performance mode. Balanced mode typically reduces sustained power limits and uses a quieter fan curve. As a result, Balanced mode is expected to deliver slightly lower sustained CPU and iGPU performance, while improving acoustics and power efficiency.
