really decent CPU for it's current age and specification. It can handle gaming impressively and it's really good with mid-range productivity workload.

This is a okay H series mobile CPU. 4C 8T CPU with base clock of 2.5Ghzm turbo up to 4.2Ghz. TDP of 45W, maximum down to 35W with 2.0Ghz. Should perform very well when doing daily task. Could handle most of the game with ultra setting, but will going to need a good GPU for that.
