This thing is awesome. The i7 and the integrated Iris pro graphics can handle basic games and video playback is superb. And to top it off, it has a thunderbolt 3 connector. I made an external gpu dock for it when I need some more uumph. The i7 keeps up with the Rtx 2070. All in a tiny box. Now I marked it down a little for noise. But that's only when its at maxed out use if gaming. And I don't hear it at all over the game. It will rev up at times, but if you are that anal, you have bigger things to worry about. Id rather have this model than the new one. The newer version had lower grade internal gpu
