The Vega 8 inbuilt GPU offers a performance equivalent to an entry-level desktop GPU. It can play games like DOOM, Outerworlds, and Assassins Creed Unity in low settings while maintaining 30-40 FPS. The 8 GB of RAM in the ASUS Zenbook was enough and nowhere in my review or during heavy multitasking, did the laptop lag.

AMD is expected to launch it’s Ryzen 4000 APU lineup for both gaming laptops as well as the budget desktop space in early 2020.
