Core Black 18-inch UHD+ 240Hz Mini LED Gaming Laptop

This 18-inch gaming laptop combines an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus 24-core processor with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 Laptop GPU carrying 24 GB of GDDR7 video memory. The 3840 x 2400 Mini LED panel refreshes at 240 Hz for smooth motion in fast-paced titles. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and a 96 GB DDR5 5600 MHz dual-channel memory kit installed.

HIDevolution Gelid GC Extreme TIM

The builder applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material to the CPU and GPU, lowering temperatures and reducing throttling during sustained workloads. Storage is configured as a 2 TB PCIe NVMe Gen5 M.2 SSD paired with a 2 TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 SSD for a total of 4 TB. The 96 GB memory kit uses two 48 GB modules running at 5600 MHz subject to system capability.

PCIe NVMe Gen5 and Gen4 interface practical limits

The Gen5 SSD delivers peak sequential throughput only when the platform’s PCIe 5.0 lanes are active and the controller firmware is current; real-world speeds vary with workload and thermal conditions. The Gen4 SSD operates within the bandwidth ceiling of PCIe 4.0 x4, so sustained writes may settle below the advertised maximum. Both drives share the M.2 slot allocation, so adding further internal storage requires an open slot and compatible heatsink clearance.

Questions about this item

Will the 18" Mini LED display fit in a standard 18" laptop sleeve?

The chassis measures 15.91" wide by 12.11" deep; verify the sleeve internal dimensions against those figures.

Does the 96 GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory run at its rated speed on this platform?

Speeds are subject to system capability; the modules are installed in dual channel for maximum throughput.

Can the two M.2 slots accept additional NVMe drives beyond the factory 2 TB Gen5 and 2 TB Gen4 SSDs?

Both M.2 slots are populated with the 4 TB total storage; no free slot remains for expansion.
