  • Great for light 4K editing
  • Decent gaming performance in titles that support Intel XESS

Cons:

  • Hampered by thermal throttling and triple digit CPU package temperatures when under sustained CPU intensive workloads

KitGuru says: The IT15 is a useful, powerful and compact computer. Unfortunately it is hampered by very high CPU temperatures when under intensive CPU workloads.
