16-inch QHD+ 240Hz display

The 16-inch IPS panel runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 16:10 aspect ratio. It covers 100% DCI-P3 colour volume for accurate creative work and smooth gaming motion. Thin bezels keep the chassis compact while maximising screen area. The 144 Hz figure in the base specification is superseded by this 240 Hz panel.

Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX 20-core processor

Eight performance cores and twelve efficient cores reach up to 5.2 GHz with 30 MB L3 cache. The 32 GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory and 2 TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD provide high bandwidth for sustained compile, simulation and render workloads. The 330 W adapter and 90 Wh battery support extended sessions without throttling. AI-ready NPU acceleration assists background tasks while the CPU and GPU handle foreground compute.

Thunderbolt 5 and HDMI 2.1 connectivity

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports deliver DisplayPort and Power Delivery 1.4 for high-resolution external displays and fast peripheral chains. HDMI 2.1 outputs 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz for modern monitors and TVs. Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.3 handle wireless networking and accessories. The 99-key keyboard with four-zone RGB and anti-ghosting completes the I/O suite.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the 330W cooling system get when the RTX 5070 Ti and Core Ultra 7 255HX run at full load all day?

The 330W power adapter feeds a vapour-chamber cooler that keeps the 20-core CPU and 12GB GPU within thermal limits during sustained workloads; fan noise rises under heavy compute but remains typical for a 16-inch performance chassis.

Which peripherals or cables must I already own to use the two Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI 2.1 output and RJ45 jack on this laptop?

Thunderbolt 5 cables or docks, an HDMI 2.1-certified cable for 4K 120Hz or 8K 60Hz external displays, and a standard Ethernet patch cable for the RJ45 port are the only extras required.

Will my existing PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSD work as a second drive alongside the factory 2TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 SSD?

Yes, the second M.2 slot supports PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4 NVMe drives, so your current SSD will function at its rated Gen 3 speeds while the primary drive runs at Gen 4x4.
