For optimal performance, keep the laptop on a flat, hard surface to ensure the cooling vents are not obstructed. When charging, use the provided 135W AC adapter, or utilize a compatible USB-C charger (65W-100W) for travel. Regularly update your NVIDIA drivers through the GeForce Experience application to ensure compatibility with new game releases.
