It targets players who want high refresh rates and 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage on a large screen. The system ships with Windows 11 Home and a SteelSeries 24-zone RGB keyboard with anti-ghost keys. A 720p webcam with shutter and Dynaudio speakers complete the package.

Suits High-Refresh Competitive Play.

This machine fits gamers who prioritise a fast 240 Hz panel and a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor for demanding titles and multitasking. The 32GB DDR5 5600 memory and 1TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD provide ample capacity for modern libraries. Buyers needing a light chassis or all-day battery life should consider thinner alternatives, as this unit weighs 6.83 lbs and uses a 240W adapter.

RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 Graphics Decide Fit

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 video memory is the single specification that determines suitability. It drives the internal 2560 x 1600 display at up to 240 Hz and supports external monitors via HDMI 2.1 and USB-C Thunderbolt 4. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit LAN, three USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports and an audio combo jack.

Questions about this item

At what temperature does the Core Ultra 9 275HX start to throttle during long sessions?

The processor runs at a base clock of 2.1 GHz and can boost to 5.4 GHz; sustained heavy loads will push it toward its thermal ceiling, so adequate airflow and the 240 W adapter are needed to keep clocks high.

How loud do the fans get when the RTX 5070 and CPU run flat out for hours?

Under continuous gaming the cooling system ramps up to move heat from the 24-core CPU and 8 GB GDDR7 GPU, producing noticeable fan noise that rises with load but remains within typical gaming-laptop levels.

Does the 1 TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe drive come installed or do I need to add it myself?

The 1 TB NVMe SSD is factory-fitted, so the laptop boots to Windows 11 Home straight out of the box with no extra storage required.
