- It has amazing battery life due to the low power MX150 GPU and supporting nvidia optimus. Check out the battery life calculation from a modded slim windows 10. The best tweak i had was 20 hours 38 mins and with 15-20% screen brightness on idle. My usual battery life for surfing net + productivity usage is 10+ hours on average.
- Some reviewers say MX150 cannot game at all.? With adequate undervolting , overclocking and configuring it to run at full CPU & GPU performance - i'm getting close to 800 score in heavens 4 benchmark and that's actually close to a older gen GTX 960 GPU score. Let's not attempt to compare that with the modern RTX 2060 laptop that is producing 2600 to 3000 scores on the same software benchmark.
- CineR15 GPU test gave great results - over 103FPS. To give you some comparison - my acer predator GTX 2060 i7-9750H achieved 141 FPS on the CineR15. Hence, the MX 150 does lag behind a little but not much against the newer RTX2060. Basically , games with moderate 3D requirements , you wouldn't be able to see much of a difference between gaming on the MX150 or RTX2060. You will see the performance differences only on AAA+ title games that are extremely GPU heavy due to the complex GPU rendering. Titles like civilization or RPGs or league of legends or hearthstrone or football manager - you wouldn't notice the difference between the machines (MX150,rtx2060 or gtx1080)
The truth is yes, MX 150 is far more competent to game on titles that are not too GPU intensive. Forget about lara croft tomb raider or witcher 3 or battlefield with highest settings to be honest. You can definitely game on most and in fact all 2D titles and moderate 3D intensive games ( on lower settings ) and achieve nice frames without stutterings.
Lastly, i congratulate Razer on their launch of the new stealth 13 with higher LCD frequencies and better GPU. I'm sure with some tweaking , most users will be able to achieve outstanding performance in this new stealth powerhouse.

Some battery life stats and benchmarks. I'm very impressed that the CPU and GPU had handled the repasting well. In the Heavens 4 test, throughout the entire benchmark session, the GPU temp was hovering around 55 and never exceeded 60 deg celcius. A pity i couldn't push it further as after overclocking to 2100Mhz , it starts to hang intermittently. The best i could ever achieved was 1950+ Mhz on the GPU.
5 May 2020 updates - The highest score i got from the heavens 4.0 was 897. That's using the MSI afterburner undervoltingGPU, undervolting the cpu and overclocking the GPU memory
