18" UHD+ 240Hz Mini LED Display

The 18-inch panel delivers a 3840 x 2400 resolution at a 240Hz refresh rate using Mini LED backlighting. This combination targets users who need both high pixel density and fast motion clarity for competitive gaming or colour-critical creative work. The display size and refresh rate define the visual experience of this mobile workstation.

Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus 24-Core Processor

The CPU provides 24 cores (8P+16E) with a base frequency of 2.7 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.5 GHz, backed by 36 MB L3 cache. This core configuration and clock ceiling are the primary determinants of multi-threaded throughput and single-thread responsiveness for rendering, compilation or simulation workloads. Buyers should match these figures to their software scaling characteristics.

RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24 GB GDDR7 && Gelid GC

The graphics processor includes 24 GB of GDDR7 memory for large texture datasets and high-resolution frame buffers. Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material is applied to both CPU and GPU dies to improve heat transfer and sustain higher clock speeds during extended heavy loads. This thermal upgrade aims to reduce throttling compared to standard paste implementations.

Questions about this item

How does the 5.5 GHz turbo frequency behave once the laptop is under sustained load?

The Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus can reach 5.5 GHz max turbo; Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on CPU and GPU helps keep temperatures lower so the processor holds higher clocks longer during heavy work.

What PCIe generation do the storage drives use and what does that limit in daily use?

One 2 TB Gen5 NVMe SSD and one 2 TB Gen4 NVMe SSD provide up to 4 TB total; the Gen5 drive delivers the fastest boot and load speeds the platform supports.

Will the 15.91 by 12.11 inch footprint and 0.94 to 1.26 inch height fit in a standard 18 inch laptop sleeve?

The chassis measures 15.91 x 12.11 x 0.94-1.26 inches and weighs 7.94 lbs; most 18 inch sleeves accommodate these dimensions but verify internal depth before buying.
