18-inch QHD+ 240Hz display

The 18-inch panel delivers a 2560 x 1600 resolution at a 240Hz refresh rate for smooth motion in fast-paced titles. The larger canvas suits creators who need timeline space and gamers who want immersion without an external monitor. Non-touch operation keeps the surface glare low. Windows 11 Home drives the interface out of the box.

Intel Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores and 64GB DDR5

Eight performance cores and sixteen efficient cores share a 36MB cache and boost to 5.4GHz for heavy multithread workloads. 64GB of DDR5 memory provides ample headroom for virtual machines, large texture sets and background streams. The 1TB PCIe SSD holds the OS and a working library; capacity runs out when multiple AAA titles and raw footage stacks accumulate.

RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 graphics upgrade

The laptop GPU brings GDDR7 memory bandwidth to the 18-inch form factor, lifting frame rates in modern titles over previous 8GB mobile cards. Thunderbolt 5 ports and HDMI 2.1 allow high-refresh external displays for desk setups. The jump makes sense when 1080p mobile hardware no longer meets target frame rates at native QHD+.

Questions about this item

Will the 18-inch 2560 x 1600 240Hz display work with my older Thunderbolt dock that only supports 4K 60Hz?

The laptop provides two Thunderbolt 5 ports and an HDMI 2.1 output; the panel itself runs at 240Hz, but external monitors will be limited by the dock's own bandwidth.

How can I confirm the RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 is active after I install my existing external GPU enclosure?

Open Device Manager or the NVIDIA control panel — both will list the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 as the discrete graphics adapter.

Does the box include a Thunderbolt 5 cable and an extra DDR5 SODIMM, or must I buy them separately?

The system ships with 64GB DDR5 already installed and a 1TB PCIe SSD; cables and additional memory modules are not included.
