An 18 inch 2.5k 240Hz laptop with a 16 core Ryzen 9 9955HX, RTX 5070 graphics, 64GB DDR5 and a 4TB PCIe SSD
The 18.0 inch IPS panel delivers a 2560 by 1600 resolution at 240Hz for smooth motion in fast-paced games. The 2.5k pixel density keeps text and textures sharp across the large screen area. Non-touch operation suits competitive play where accidental input is a risk.
The 240Hz refresh rate and QHD resolution match the output of the RTX 5070 8GB GPU in many titles. Content creators who need touch input or a smaller footprint should look at other models. The 6.61 pound weight and 1.21 inch profile limit frequent travel use.
The AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX runs 16 cores and 32 threads with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a max turbo of 5.4 GHz. This CPU handles heavy multi-threaded workloads and high-frame-rate gaming without bottlenecking the mobile RTX 5070. The 64GB DDR5 memory and 4TB PCIe SSD complement the processor for large asset streaming.
