Are these suitable gaming laptops? I run local LLMs (Ollama) using my NVIDIA graphics card but I can't tell if these ARM chips are suitable for gaming.

I hope you realize that most of the gaming world runs on ARM CPUs and iGPUs today. Smartphones and tablets far outnumber gaming PCs.

  I intuit parent was referring to PC gaming, which is far more demanding than mobile gaming. Also, most PC games are compiled to x86_64, which means there will need to be a virtualization layer for non-native games (the majority), which will add latency.

  You're made that same comment several times in this thread. But: - All gaming PCs are x86 - PS5 and Xbox are x86 - Handheld PCs (Steam Deck, Legion, etc) are x86 This is the market people are talking about when they say "gaming" and you know it.

    Just because most gamers game on mobile and consoles do not make them any less of gamers. PC gamers are a minority, not the majority; PC Master Race is a meme and not reality. If anyone wants to refer to PC gamers, refer as such. "Gamers" with no additional descriptors by definition is anyone who games, and that includes gamers who play on mobile and consoles.

In a FAQ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/copilot-plus-pcs?r=1#faq1 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/copilot-plus-pcs?r=1... they list these games as supporting the new upscaling thing coming to these laptops: 7 Days to Die, BeamNG.drive, Borderlands 3, Control, Dark Souls III, Dying Light, The Forest, God of War, Resident Evil 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Skyrim SE, Sons of the Forest, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Unturned, Warframe, and The Witcher 3 But you will get much better experience and longer battery life with using something like Geforce Now
