A 15.6 inch QHD+ 165Hz gaming laptop with an Intel Core i9-14900HX 24-core processor, RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 graphics, 32GB DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD
The 15.6 inch panel runs at 165 Hz with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and an anti-glare IPS coating. It covers 45 percent NTSC and uses a 16:9 aspect ratio for sharp visuals in games and creative work.
The CPU delivers 24 cores and 32 threads with a 4.1 GHz base frequency and a 5.8 GHz turbo boost. It suits users who need strong multi-threaded performance for rendering, compilation or heavy multitasking. Buyers who only browse the web or run light office apps will not use this headroom and should consider a lower-tier chip.
The laptop GPU provides 12 GB of GDDR7 video memory for high-frame-rate gaming at QHD+ and GPU-accelerated workloads. If your workflow relies on more video memory or you target 4K gaming, this configuration may fall short.

The 24-core i9-14900HX runs at a 4.1 GHz base clock and can boost to 5.8 GHz, while the RTX 5070 carries 12GB GDDR7. Both sit inside a 14.13 x 10.2 x 0.98-inch chassis weighing 4.96 pounds, so thermals and fan noise will reflect that dense layout.
The laptop provides 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A, Ethernet, separate mic-in and audio-out jacks, and a Kensington lock slot. Any monitors, wired mice, headsets or external drives you attach must supply their own matching cables.
Yes. Three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports accept legacy USB-A devices directly, and the HDMI 2.1 output drives a 1080p display natively. The 15.6-inch 165 Hz QHD+ panel runs at 2560 x 1600, so the external monitor will simply mirror or extend at its own resolution.
