Built for high-refresh competitive play

The 18-inch QHD panel runs at 240 Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, driven by an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX 16-core processor that reaches 5.4 GHz. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 8 GB video memory and 32 GB DDR5 system memory keeps frame times tight in demanding titles. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Ports and peripherals shape daily workflow

Two USB-A 3.2 ports, one USB 4 Type-C connection and an HDMI 2.1 FRL output handle external displays and fast storage. A built-in RJ45 jack gives wired networking without dongles. The 4-zone RGB keyboard, Dolby Atmos audio, AI noise-cancelling microphone and FHD camera support streaming and communication. An authentic USB-C hub is included in the bundle.

Chassis dimensions and connector layout affect

The black chassis measures 15.71 by 11.57 by 1.21 inches and weighs 6.61 pounds, so it needs a deep surface but fits standard 18-inch sleeves. All primary I/O sits on the left and rear edges, keeping the right side clear for mouse movement. Wi-Fi6E and Bluetooth provide wireless flexibility when a cable is not practical.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 GB DDR5 memory be enough for modern AAA games and heavy multitasking?

The laptop ships with 32 GB of DDR5 memory, which handles current AAA titles and multiple background applications without needing an immediate upgrade.

Can the HDMI 2.1 FRL port drive an external 4K high-refresh monitor?

The HDMI 2.1 FRL port supports 4K output at high refresh rates, so a compatible external monitor will run at its native resolution and refresh.

Does the chassis have room for a second PCIe SSD if I need more storage later?

The supplier data does not confirm a second M.2 slot; only the installed 2 TB PCIe SSD is listed.
