Vector 16 HX AI laptop with Ultra 9 275HX

This 16-inch gaming laptop pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with an NVIDIA RTX 5080 laptop GPU. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and a 240 Hz QHD+ display. The configuration targets enthusiasts who need high frame rates and fast compute in a portable chassis.

Upgraded thermal interface and storage

The supplier applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on the CPU and GPU to lower temperatures under load. Storage is upgraded to 16 TB across two PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs. These changes replace the stock thermal paste and smaller drives for better sustained performance and capacity.

16 GB DDR5 5600 memory and 16 TB NVMe headroom

Dual-channel DDR5 5600 memory handles multitasking and memory-heavy applications. The 16 TB NVMe array provides ample space for large game libraries and project files. Memory capacity is fixed at 16 GB, so workloads needing more RAM will hit a ceiling.
