15.6 QHD 165Hz gaming laptop

This 15.6 inch QHD display runs at 165Hz and is driven by an Intel Core i7-14650HX with 16 cores and 24 threads up to 5.2 GHz. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 with 8GB GDDR7 handles graphics. The system ships with Windows 11 Home, 32GB DDR5 and a 2TB PCIe SSD.

Buyers who need a larger screen or a higher resolution panel should look elsewhere. Users who require an SD card reader or a fingerprint sensor will not find them here. The single HDMI output limits multi-monitor setups to one external display.

Check that your peripherals use USB-A, USB-C or HDMI

The laptop provides three USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port, one HDMI, one RJ-45 Ethernet and a headset jack. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth handle wireless links. Verify that your external drives, docks and monitors match these connections before ordering.
