How we tested it
Performance
Average FPS over 9 min 4 s of gameplay, measured with MangoHud. The line marks 60 FPS. Average FPS: how many frames per second on average. 1% low: the FPS in the worst moments (the slowest 1% of frames). The closer the 1% low is to the average, the smoother the game, without stutters.
Also applies to other mini PCs with the same Radeon 780M graphics: Ryzen 7 8845HS, Ryzen 7 8745HS, Ryzen 9 7940HS Same integrated graphics, so similar FPS. They can vary a bit with RAM (speed and dual channel) and with the power limit set by the manufacturer.
Test timeline
Power is the processor's (CPU and graphics) as read by MangoHud: at the wall it's a few watts more. Lighter areas are pauses, menus or loading screens (55 seconds), left out of the calculation.
So, World War Legion. As a big shooter fan, I knew right away what kind of game I was dealing with when I tried it: it's one of those lightweight, no-frills titles with practically zero wait times. You click, you're in a match and off you go — perfect if you've got ten free minutes and want to fire off a few rounds without any hassle.
I liked it because it's immediate, smooth and fun to play if you're into the genre. It doesn't waste your time with endless menus or epic loading screens: you open it and play.
But let's be honest: graphically it's a bit lacking. It's clearly not aiming to be a AAA game, and the bare-bones graphics show. On top of that, there's one thing that gets a bit boring in the long run: the massive presence of bots. Without real down-to-the-wire fights against actual players, after a while you find yourself thinking "okay, I get it", and monotony can start to creep in.
On Linux it's zero hassle: Proton, launch and go, no issues for the entire session. The mini PC handles it effortlessly, not least because it's hardly a heavy load on the hardware.
In short: a super accessible, immediate and lightweight shooter, great for quick matches if you love the genre, but held back by poor visuals and too many bots in matches.
