16 QHD+ 240Hz Ultra 9 RTX 5080

This 16 inch 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 240Hz for smooth motion in fast titles. Thirty two gigabytes of DDR5 5600MHz memory and an eight terabyte PCIe 4.0 NVMe array provide ample space for large projects. Windows 11 Pro is pre installed.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The 240Hz panel and 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency serve competitive players and creators who need high frame rates and quick compile times. The 5.95 pound chassis and 1.12 inch profile fit a desk setup better than daily commuting. Buyers wanting a lighter ultraportable or a lower cost machine should consider other models.

16GB GDDR7 video memory decides fit

The RTX 5080 ships with sixteen gigabytes of GDDR7 video memory. That capacity sets the ceiling for texture resolution, ray traced scene complexity and GPU compute workloads. If your workflow demands more VRAM for 8K assets or large language models this laptop will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD need replacement before the laptop itself?

The 8 TB storage is split across two 4 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs. Under normal use they should last the laptop's lifetime; only a drive failure or a capacity upgrade would require a swap.

What limit appears first when the Ultra 9 275HX runs at 5.5 GHz turbo for long periods?

The 24-core processor will hit its thermal ceiling before power delivery maxes out, so sustained 5.5 GHz clocks are limited by the cooling solution's ability to move heat away.

How loud and hot does the chassis get when the RTX 5080 and CPU run flat-out all day?

Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on both CPU and GPU keeps temperatures lower than stock, reducing fan speed and noise during continuous heavy workloads.
