This laptop is really good. It has a decent 7-th generation i7 proccesor. Looks very premium,sleek and it's
REALLY light(1,2 kg) . It has a decent dedicated nvidia 940mx gpu which should run the games you mentioned above just fine. 7 hours of battery.
The star of the show, however, is the 500GB Samsung Nvme PM961 SSD, which guarantees lightning fast loading times. Overall this laptop is amazing and the reviews confirm that.
