18-inch Mini LED 240Hz display

The 18-inch Mini LED panel runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response. High brightness and local dimming give deep contrast for HDR content. The anti-glare coating reduces reflections in bright rooms. This screen size suits immersive gaming and multitasking workflows.

Core Ultra 9 275HX with RTX 5080 16GB

The 24-core processor reaches 5.4 GHz turbo and pairs with the GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU carrying 16GB GDDR7 memory. 32GB DDR5 and a 512GB PCIe SSD complete the platform. Buyers needing more storage or a lighter chassis should consider other models.

Thunderbolt 5 dual-port connectivity

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports provide DisplayPort output, power delivery and G-SYNC support alongside three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and 2.5GbE LAN. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 handle wireless links. This I/O mix decides whether the laptop fits your dock and peripheral setup.

Questions about this item

How do I install extra storage in the 512GB PCIe SSD slot, and what step do people miss?

Remove the bottom panel, insert the M.2 drive at an angle, then secure it with the tiny screw; most forget the screw and the drive lifts off the connector.

What maintenance will the Mini LED 240Hz 3ms panel need later?

No user maintenance is required; keep vents clear so the 18-inch display stays within thermal limits.

What limit appears first during long gaming sessions on the RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7?

GPU thermal throttling typically arrives before power or VRAM limits under sustained load.
