Questions about this item

Will the 64 GB of DDR5 memory and 1 TB PCIe SSD be recognised automatically by Windows 11 Home?

Yes, the laptop ships with Windows 11 Home pre-installed and the 64 GB DDR5 plus 1 TB PCIe SSD are configured at the factory, so the operating system detects the full capacity on first boot.

Does the 16-inch QHD+ panel running at 240 Hz require any special cable or dock to reach its maximum refresh rate?

The built-in display is driven directly by the RTX 5060 GPU, so the native 2560 x 1600 resolution at 240 Hz works without any external adapter or dock.

What ports are available for connecting an external monitor, wired network or USB peripherals?

The chassis includes USB Type-C ports, USB Type-A ports, an HDMI output and a DC-in jack, covering external displays, wired accessories and power.
