18-inch UHD+ Mini LED Gaming Laptop

This 18-inch gaming laptop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. The 24-core CPU reaches a max turbo frequency of 5.5 GHz and includes 36 MB of L3 cache. It ships with Windows 11 Home, 128 GB of DDR5 memory, and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage across two 4 TB drives. The display runs at 3840 x 2400 resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound for sustained

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on both the CPU and GPU during the build-to-order process. This upgrade targets lower system temperatures under heavy CPU and GPU loads to help prevent throttling. The unit then undergoes burn-in stress testing for temperature and benchmark validation to verify stable operation before shipment. The cooling solution is designed to maintain performance during extended sessions.

Pre-configured memory

The laptop arrives with 128 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory installed in a dual-channel 2 x 64 GB configuration and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage in a 2 x 4 TB layout. No user installation of these components is required. HIDevolution performs a full quality check including BIOS and driver updates, keyboard and touchpad tests, port verification, display inspection, and physical chassis review to reduce the chance of defects on arrival.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the Ultra 9-285HX and RTX 5080 get with Gelid GC Extreme during all-day loads?

The upgraded Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on the CPU and GPU lowers system temperatures to prevent throttling during intensive tasks, helping the 24-core processor and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics run cooler under sustained workloads.

What memory and storage are already installed so I do not buy duplicate parts?

The laptop ships with 128 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory in a 2 x 64 GB dual-channel configuration and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD storage arranged as 2 x 4 TB M.2 drives.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives work in the spare M.2 slots alongside the factory 4.0 drives?

The system uses M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs; PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives are electrically compatible and will operate at their rated 3.0 speeds when installed in the available slots.
