Thunderbolt 5 and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports with DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.1 sit on the right side alongside HDMI 2.1. The left side adds two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and a full-size SD UHS-III card reader. Wi-Fi 7 BE1750 and Bluetooth 5.4 handle wireless links.

32 GB DDR5 and 2 TB SSD capacity

Questions about this item

Can the 32 GB DDR5 memory be expanded later?

Yes, the laptop supports up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory, so the installed 32 GB can be doubled if needed.

What thermal limit appears first during extended gaming on the RTX 5080?

The system relies on MSI Overboost Ultra to push maximum combined power to both the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX and RTX 5080 simultaneously, so sustained loads are managed by that unified thermal design.

How loud do the fans get and how hot does the chassis feel when the laptop runs all day?

The cooling system is built around MSI Overboost Ultra, which delivers unthrottled performance to the CPU and RTX 5080 together; fan speed and surface temperature scale with that combined load.
