16 Inch 240Hz OLED Display

A 16 inch 2.5K OLED panel with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate provides the visual output. The chassis measures 13.94 x 9.69 x 0.59 to 0.65 inches and weighs 4.08 lbs. Storage consists of two 4 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs totalling 8 TB. Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU are applied during the build process.

Factory Applied Thermal Upgrades

The builder applies Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal to the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme paste to the GPU before shipment. This service targets lower operating temperatures for both processors under load. A full quality check includes BIOS and driver updates, burn-in stress testing, benchmark verification, keyboard and touchpad validation, port functionality checks, display inspection and physical chassis review.
