18-inch 2.5K 240Hz Mini LED display

The 18-inch Mini LED panel runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response. Anti-glare coating keeps reflections low in bright rooms. The 2.5K resolution sits between standard 1080p and 4K for sharper detail without the 4K render load.

Core Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores and RTX 5080 16GB

The 24-core processor (8 performance + 16 efficient) reaches 5.4 GHz turbo for heavy multitasking and content creation. GeForce RTX 5080 with 16GB GDDR7 handles modern titles at high settings. Buyers who mainly browse, stream or run light office apps will find the hardware excessive.

64GB DDR5 and 2TB PCIe SSD

Memory and storage are fixed at 64GB DDR5 and a 2TB PCIe SSD with no user-accessible slots for expansion. This suits creators who need large capacity immediately. Anyone planning to upgrade RAM or add a second drive later should consider a model with spare slots.
