Suits creators and competitive gamers

This laptop suits users who need desktop-class power in a portable chassis for rendering, simulation or high-refresh gaming. The 240 Hz Mini LED panel supports fast-paced titles and colour-critical work. Buyers who need a lighter device for daily commuting or who prefer a smaller screen should look at other form factors.

240 Hz Mini LED UHD+ display

The 18-inch panel delivers a 3840 x 2400 resolution at 240 Hz using Mini LED backlighting. This specification decides whether the visual experience matches your workflow or gaming priorities. If a lower refresh rate or different panel technology fits your use case, a different display configuration would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 inch UHD+ Mini LED display fit in a standard 18 inch laptop backpack?

The chassis measures 15.91 inches wide by 12.11 inches deep. Most 18 inch backpacks accommodate those dimensions, but verify the compartment size before buying.

Can the 16 TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 storage be expanded later?

Both M.2 slots are populated with 8 TB drives. No free slots remain, so expansion requires replacing one or both modules.

Does the Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound need reapplication over time?

The compound is applied during the build-to-order process. Typical high-grade paste lasts several years; reapply only if temperatures rise noticeably.
