Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1 TB PCIe SSD or add a second drive for more space?

The laptop ships with a single 1 TB PCIe SSD; there is no second drive installed, so you would need to add storage yourself if 1 TB is not enough.

What does the 240 Hz Mini LED panel deliver in actual gameplay?

The 18 inch 2.5K Mini LED screen refreshes at 240 Hz with a 3 ms response time, giving smooth motion and high brightness for fast-paced titles.

How do the two Thunderbolt 5 ports limit external display or dock bandwidth?

Each Thunderbolt 5 port supports DisplayPort, power delivery and G-SYNC, letting you drive high-resolution external monitors or a dock at full Thunderbolt 5 speed.
