Questions about this item

Will the 16-inch 2560 x 1600 120Hz panel handle fast-paced shooters without motion blur?

The display runs at 120Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, giving smooth motion clarity for competitive titles while the 300-nit brightness keeps details visible in bright scenes.

Does the 32GB DDR5 memory leave room for future upgrades or is it soldered?

Memory comes as two 16GB DDR5 SoDIMM modules running up to 5600MT/s, so both slots are occupied but removable if you want higher capacity later.

Can the 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drive be supplemented with a second SSD without opening the chassis?

The laptop includes a single M.2 slot populated with the 1TB Gen 4 NVMe drive; adding another drive requires opening the case to access any additional M.2 slots.
