32 GB DDR5 memory and 8 TB NVMe storage

Dual-channel DDR5 5600MHz memory provides 32 GB of capacity for memory-hungry applications and multitasking headroom. The 8 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD array (2 x 4 TB) delivers fast boot and load times. Storage-intensive workloads stay responsive until the array fills.

Upgraded thermal compounds and 6.02 lb chassis

HIDevolution applies Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU to lower system temperatures under load. The Eclipse Gray chassis measures 13.94" x 10.55" x 0.90" ~ 1.21" and weighs 6.02 lbs. The compact profile fits standard backpacks while the thermal upgrades sustain performance during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

Will the 16-core i7-14650HX and RTX 5050 8 GB GDDR7 overwhelm my existing 60 Hz external monitor?

The laptop drives its own 165 Hz panel at 1920 x 1200; an external 60 Hz display will simply run at its native refresh rate while the GPU renders higher frame rates internally.

How can I confirm the dual-channel DDR5 5600 memory and 8 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe storage are active after first boot?

Open Task Manager → Performance to see 32 GB DDR5 running dual-channel, and check Disk Management for two 4 TB NVMe volumes totalling 8 TB.

Does the box include the Conductonaut and Gelid GC Extreme thermal compounds pre-applied, or must I buy them separately?

Both thermal interface materials are factory-applied by the builder; the package contains the laptop, power adapter and documentation only.
