About the performance of the M6500XU
The display is 15.6 inches and 3K.
The M6500XU's display is 15.6 inches, which is neither too big nor too small. It's a good balance between the power of the image and portability.
The resolution is 2880 x 1620, which is a resolution called 3K, although you may not have heard of it very often.
It has a higher resolution than Full HD or WQHD, allowing you to enjoy games and videos in high quality.
Use an external display for 8K resolution!
Looking at the product specifications for the M6500XU, it states that the maximum resolution when outputting to an external display is 8K (7680 x 4320).
Please note that you will need an 8K-compatible display and cable, but it is recommended for those who want to enjoy ultra-high quality images.
Refresh rate is 120Hz
The maximum refresh rate is 120Hz, which is low for a gaming PC. This gaming laptop is recommended for those who prioritize resolution over refresh rate.
In games such as FPS, you may be at a slight disadvantage to players playing at a higher refresh rate.
The CPU is Ryzen7 7840HS and the GPU is RTX 4050 Laptop
The CPU is Ryzen 7 and the GPU is the RTX 4000 series. It doesn't have the same performance as the high-end models, so it's recommended for those who prioritize price over performance.
In Japan, many people use PCs equipped with Intel CPUs, and I think that people using PCs equipped with Ryzen are in the minority.
Although it has the same performance as Intel CPUs, it is necessary to be careful as there are rare cases where it is difficult to use, such as some software not being compatible with Ryzen.
Memory is 16GB and SSD is 512GB
The memory is 16GB, which is the minimum memory capacity you should have if you're buying a gaming PC. The maximum is 16GB, so it seems you can't add more.
The SSD is also small at 512GB, so if you find yourself running out of space, you can delete unnecessary data or use an external SSD.
About the appearance of the M6500XU
As for the appearance, the color is quiet blue, which is a dark indigo color. It's not a flashy color, so I think it's easy to use on the go.
It weighs about 1.8kg, which is lighter than most gaming laptops. It's not as light as ultra-lightweight business laptops, though...
About the keyboard
The keyboard has some quirks in the key layout and shape. The backslash is above the Enter key, and the Enter key is long and wide. The arrow keys are also thin, making them difficult to use.
One good thing about it is that it has a numeric keypad. With a normal keyboard, you can save space by making it numeric keypadless, but with a laptop, the space depends on the width of the device, so I personally think there is no benefit to making it numeric keypadless.
Pricing for the M6500XU
The price of the M6500XU is about 170,000 yen. If you look at the official store, it says that it is only available for direct sales, so you can't buy it from Amazon or other sites. It's recommended for those who want a low-priced, high-resolution gaming laptop.
