Questions about this item

Will the 240 Hz QHD+ panel run at its full refresh rate over the built-in HDMI 2.1 port?

Yes — HDMI 2.1 supports 4K at 120 Hz, so the 2560 x 1600 panel at 240 Hz is well within the link bandwidth.

Can the two Thunderbolt 5 ports drive two external 4K 120 Hz monitors simultaneously?

Each Thunderbolt 5 port carries DisplayPort and PD 1.4, providing enough bandwidth for two 4K 120 Hz streams.

Does the 330 W adapter charge the 90 Wh battery while the CPU and GPU are under full load?

The 330 W brick is sized for the 20-core processor and RTX 5070 Ti, so it sustains charge during heavy workloads.
