Built for competitive gaming and content creation

This 18-inch laptop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24-core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 GPU. A 2.5K 240Hz Mini LED display and 32GB DDR5 memory drive high-frame-rate play and multi-tasking. The 2TB PCIe SSD stores large project files and game libraries.

Suits users who need desktop-class speed

Buyers wanting maximum GPU memory and the highest refresh rate at 2560 x 1600 will benefit. Those who prioritise battery life, a lighter 6.28-pound form factor, or a built-in SD card reader should evaluate alternatives. The 15.71 x 11.73 x 0.93-inch footprint demands a spacious bag.

The 16GB GDDR7 video memory on the RTX 5080

This VRAM capacity sets the ceiling for texture-heavy 4K gaming, 3D rendering and AI workloads. If your pipeline regularly exceeds 16GB VRAM, a workstation-class GPU is required. Otherwise the 5080 16GB configuration delivers the performance tier this chassis is engineered around.
