16-inch QHD+ 240Hz display

The 16-inch QHD+ panel runs at 240Hz and shows 2560 by 1600 pixels. A 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor reaches 5.4 GHz on 32 threads. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with 8 GB GDDR7 drives the graphics. The laptop targets gamers and creators who need high refresh rates and multi-thread speed.

DDR5 memory and PCIe storage

64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 2 TB PCIe SSD come installed. The chassis measures 14.13 by 10.49 by 1.1 inches and weighs 5.51 pounds. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth handle wireless links. USB Type-C, USB Type-A, HDMI and a DC-in jack cover wired connections. Windows 11 Pro and an Office 2024 licence are pre-loaded.

64 GB memory and 2 TB SSD headroom

The 64 GB DDR5 kit handles heavy multitasking and large project files without paging. The 2 TB PCIe drive holds a big game library and media archive. The 8 GB GDDR7 frame buffer on the RTX 5060 supports high-resolution textures at QHD+. Thermal limits in a 1.1-inch chassis will throttle sustained loads before the silicon hits its ceiling.

Questions about this item

Does the Ryzen 9 8940HX hit its 5.4 GHz turbo ceiling before the cooling system can keep up?

The 16-core Ryzen 9 8940HX is rated to reach 5.4 GHz on its turbo frequency. Sustained clocks depend on the laptop's thermal design and the workload you run.

How loud and hot does the chassis get when the RTX 5060 and CPU run flat-out for hours?

Under continuous load the 8 GB GDDR7 GPU and 16-core processor push the cooling system hard. Expect noticeable fan noise and warm surface temperatures around the keyboard deck and rear vents.

Which external monitor cables or docks work with the USB Type-C and HDMI ports on this model?

The laptop provides USB Type-C ports and an HDMI output. Any monitor or dock that accepts a standard HDMI cable or a USB-C video signal will connect directly.
