18-inch QHD+ 240Hz display

The 18-inch IPS-level panel delivers QHD+ resolution at 2560 by 1600 pixels with a 240Hz refresh rate and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage. This combination gives smooth motion and accurate colour for competitive gaming and content creation. The anti-glare surface reduces reflections during long sessions.

Ryzen 9 9955HX with RTX 5080

The 16-core processor runs at a 2.5GHz base clock and reaches a 5.4GHz turbo frequency with 64MB cache. Paired with the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU and 16GB GDDR7 video memory, the system handles modern AAA titles and heavy rendering workloads. Users who need longer battery life or a lighter chassis should consider smaller ultraportables instead.

32GB DDR5 and 2TB PCIe SSD

The laptop ships with 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe solid-state drive. This capacity supports large game libraries, virtual machines and video projects without immediate upgrades. Buyers planning extensive memory expansion or multi-drive RAID arrays should verify the internal slot layout before purchase.
