Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 TB NVMe storage upgrade, and what step do people get wrong?

The laptop ships with two 8 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs already installed by the builder. No user installation is required; the common mistake is buying extra drives thinking the slots are empty.

What maintenance will the Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound need later?

The Gelid GC Extreme TIM applied to the CPU and GPU is a long-life compound. Under normal loads it does not require re-application; only a full disassembly for another reason would prompt a refresh.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy loads on the 24-core Ultra 9 290HX Plus?

The 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency cannot be held on all 24 cores indefinitely. Power and thermal ceilings force clocks down first, so sustained all-core speeds settle below the peak turbo.
