Questions about this item

Does the 15.6" 144 Hz G-Sync panel need an external G-Sync monitor to work?

No, the built-in 15.6" 1920 x 1080 IPS display already runs at 144 Hz with NVIDIA G-Sync, so tear-free gaming works without any extra screen.

Can I keep my USB 3.0 peripherals and HDMI 2.0 display when switching to this laptop?

Yes, the chassis provides four USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI 2.0 output, so existing mice, drives and monitors connect directly.

How do I verify the Active Aerodynamic System is lifting the bottom panel and improving airflow?

When the system is under load, the rear hinge raises the base by roughly 32 % and you should hear increased fan noise as temperatures drop toward the 20 % reduction target.
