16-inch QHD+ 240Hz laptop

This 16-inch gaming laptop pairs a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU. The 2560 x 1600 display runs at 240 Hz for smooth motion. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR5 memory and a four-terabyte PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD provide capacity for large projects and game libraries. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed.

Verify power adapter rating

The system draws significant power under load from the 275HX CPU and 5080 GPU. Confirm your AC outlet and any travel adapter can supply the required wattage. Check that the available USB, video and Ethernet ports match your monitors, docks and wired network gear. The 14.05 x 11.18 x 1.12 inch chassis weighs 5.95 lbs, so ensure your bag or sleeve accommodates those dimensions.

Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound helps sustain

The builder applies Gelid GC Extreme between the CPU, GPU and their heatsinks to lower core temperatures during extended workloads. Cooler silicon reduces thermal throttling, letting the 5.5 GHz turbo and GDDR7 video memory maintain higher frequencies longer. Dual-channel DDR5 5600 memory feeds the 24-thread processor, while the dual NVMe SSDs keep read and write bandwidth high for asset streaming and scratch disks.

Questions about this item

Will the 24-core Ultra 9-275HX and RTX 5080 16 GB GDDR7 fit inside the 1.12-inch chassis without throttling?

The builder applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on both CPU and GPU during assembly, which lowers peak temperatures and reduces throttling during sustained heavy workloads.

Does the 4 TB storage arrive as a single drive or multiple modules, and is it PCIe 4.0 NVMe?

It ships as two 2 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs installed in dual-channel configuration for maximum sequential throughput.

Is the 32 GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory user-upgradeable or soldered?

The system uses two 16 GB DDR5 5600 MHz SO-DIMMs in dual-channel mode, leaving both slots populated but replaceable with higher-capacity modules later.
