Trade-offs to Consider
- ARM Mali-G52 2EE MC2 relies on shared system RAM; lacks discrete VRAM for demanding modern 3D games
- 8GB RAM is limited for modern multitasking and may bottleneck heavy workflows
- Modest 256GB SSD storage provides limited capacity for large files and games
* Near recent regular price (£238.99). Worth watching for discounts.
