18-inch UHD+ Mini LED Display

The 18-inch panel delivers a 3840 by 2400 resolution at a 120 Hz refresh rate using Mini LED technology. This combination provides sharp detail and smooth motion for gaming and content creation. The large screen size suits users who want desktop-like visual workspace in a portable form factor.

Ultra 9 285HX and RTX 5090 for Heavy Workloads

The 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX reaches a 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency with 36 MB L3 cache, paired with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 laptop GPU equipped with 24 GB GDDR7 memory. This configuration targets professionals and enthusiasts running demanding simulations, 3D rendering, or high-refresh-rate gaming. Buyers needing only mainstream performance or longer battery life should consider less powerful alternatives.

32 GB DDR5 and 4 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Storage

The system includes 32 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory in dual-channel configuration and 4 TB of storage across two 2 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs. This capacity comfortably handles large datasets, multiple virtual machines, and extensive game libraries. Memory-intensive workflows beyond 32 GB or storage needs exceeding 4 TB will require external solutions or a different platform.

Questions about this item

Will the 18-inch Mini LED panel fit on my desk and in a standard laptop bag?

The chassis measures 15.91 by 12.09 by 1.26 inches and weighs 7.94 lbs, so check your bag’s internal dimensions and desk depth before buying.

Can the 32 GB of DDR5 5600 memory be expanded later if I need more?

The system ships with two 16 GB modules filling both SO-DIMM slots; adding capacity would require replacing the existing sticks.

Does the 4 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe array leave a free M.2 slot for another drive?

Both M.2 slots are occupied by the 2 TB drives that make up the 4 TB total, so no empty slot remains for expansion.
