Built for STEM workflows

The Vector 16 HX AI targets engineers, developers and analysts who need workstation-class compute in a portable chassis. Its Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor combines eight performance cores with sixteen efficient cores plus an integrated NPU for local AI acceleration. Windows 11 Pro ships pre-installed for immediate domain join and BitLocker management.

GPU memory decides the ceiling

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU brings 16 GB of GDDR7 video memory, the single spec that determines whether large models, 4 K textures or multi-stream video timelines fit in frame buffer. The 16-inch panel runs at 2560 x 1600 and 240 Hz, giving both resolution and refresh headroom for visual verification work.

Thunderbolt 5 and Wi-Fi 7 expand I/O

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports supply 80 Gbps bi-directional bandwidth for external GPU enclosures, NVMe arrays or dual 8 K displays without a dock. Killer Wi-Fi 7 BE1750 adds sub-5 ms latency on the 6 GHz band, while HDMI 2.1 handles a third high-refresh panel when travelling light.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX has 24 cores with 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores plus an NPU, delivering desktop-level performance with improved performance per watt for cooler, quieter operation.

What does the Thunderbolt 5 interface cap at in practice?

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports provide high-bandwidth connectivity for external GPUs, fast storage and multiple 4K displays simultaneously.
