14" LAFITÉ PRO II is good?

[StrappedBolero54]

Hi. Has anyone bought the new Lafité Pro II yet?
I'm interested in it for the specs and small but I have some concerns.
What's the battery life like? 49wh seems a bit tiny for a 1650ti, i7-1165G7, and 120hz display.
I'm a bit wary of the mystery 120hz display on a laptop, is it any good?
Does it run really hot or is the cooling adequate?
How are the touchpad and keyboard?

thanksyoufortoreadingmypost

Unfortunately, I know nothing about the Lafité, but I share some thoughts on the high refresh rate screens.

I came from an old Dell 60Hz and my new PCS Nova has 144Hz. I was expecting a huge difference (as you're probably are), but I can't say that I noticed much of an improvement, to be honest. Like the games are a lot faster, but I can't tell if the difference is due to the higher performance hardware (CPU+GPU) or due to the high-refresh screen. But I'm very happy with my Nova screen nevertheless, as I have very minimal backlight bleed (my Dell had a lot), almost no ghosting and the colours look great.

Maybe my expectations on the refresh rate were too high? Or maybe I'm not too sensitive to refresh rates? Not sure.

I recently tested a cheap (£90) 21.5" Philips external monitor with 75Hz for a couple of days and what bothered me most about the monitor is that it has a lot of ghosting, noticeable not just in games, but also while browsing. I noticed that straight away, especially when browsing sites that had dark mode (like youtube) or darker background. I also noticed that the overall quality of the screen on the Nova is better, as the Philips monitor does not have a great angle of view and you can notice some "shadows" on the left and right borders. Apart from those 2 issues, I can't notice any difference between them regarding the refresh rate.
