Yes, the 40 series card will be more then enough for those two games

I7 or i9? Don’t see the cpu spec listed. Congrats on the purchase, and yes the 4060 will play those games, its biggest downfall in that machine is its 40w tdp on the gpu. That will definitely limited the cards performance

These aren’t gaming laptops and they aren’t cooled nearly as well because they aren’t advertised as such.

I don’t think the difference in CPU performance is that important in gaming.
Plus the thermals inside a laptop might even mitigate any benefits that an i9 might have on paper

i was just asking out of curiosity. My concern is the 40w tdp on the GPU, not the cpu, that is a huge bottleneck on that gpu

Generally speaking, I prefer i7 processors over the I9, as the heat and power draw outweigh the performance impact.

I had an XPS 15 and never will go for one again.

It is a laptop with powerful, full-powered CPUs and GPUs while being under 4 pounds and super thin while also trying to get good battery life. It tries to do too many things at once and isn't great, or even good at all of them.

Yup, i agree there. I got the i7-13700kf in mine and it flies along, even got a small overclock on it and been flawless.

How is battery life on it, especially with that OLED display? I know battery has been the weak point for Windows laptops, especially in comparison to apple silicon.

any of use runing the gtx 4060 and how do use find it

huh?

how do use find using the nividea gtx 4060 for video editing and photoshop

The OS will auto-switch to the more powerful video card when it is needed.
