Connectivity includes two USB-A 3.2 ports, one USB4 port, one HDMI 2.1 FRL output and an RJ45 Ethernet jack. The 2TB PCIe SSD and 16GB DDR5 memory provide fast storage and system bandwidth without extra internal slots.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 inch 2.5k 240Hz display fit my external monitor workflow?

The built-in panel is an 18 inch IPS screen at 2560 by 1600 running at 240Hz. It also has an HDMI 2.1 FRL port so you can drive an external 4K display at high refresh without adapters.

Can I upgrade the memory later if 16GB feels tight?

The laptop ships with 16GB of DDR5. The supplier opens the original seal for professional upgrades, so additional DDR5 modules can be installed by their engineers before delivery.

What ports do I get for wired networking and peripherals?

You get two USB-A 3.2 ports, one USB 4 Type-C port, one HDMI 2.1 FRL port and one RJ45 Ethernet jack for a stable wired connection.
