An 18 inch 2560 x 1600 240Hz IPS panel driven by a 16 core Ryzen 9 9955HX at up to 5.4 GHz and an RTX 5070 with 8GB video memory, plus 64GB DDR5 and a 2TB PCIe SSD
The laptop centres on an 18.0 inch IPS panel running at 2560 x 1600 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. This screen size and pixel density suit creators and competitive gamers who need both workspace and motion clarity without an external monitor.
The system pairs a 16 core 32 thread AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 8GB GPU. The combination replaces older eight core mobile chips and mid range laptop GPUs, delivering a clear step up when workloads demand sustained multi thread throughput and modern shading features.
With 64GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD, the platform keeps large assets resident during extended sessions. The thermal design maintains clock speeds near the 5.4 GHz turbo ceiling during prolonged rendering or gaming, avoiding the throttling common in thinner chassis.

The chassis measures 15.71 x 11.57 x 1.21 inches and weighs 6.61 pounds, so check your sleeve or mount against those figures.
Remove the bottom-panel Phillips screws, lift the panel carefully to avoid snagging the ribbon cable, and when refitting do not overtighten the screws or the threads can strip.
The two SO-DIMM slots hold 64 GB of DDR5 and the M.2 slot holds the 2 TB PCIe SSD; both can be swapped for higher-capacity modules when required.
