Features

The AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor includes 16 cores and supports 32 processing threads. Its base clock speed is 2.4 GHz, while the maximum clock speed reaches 5.3 GHz. An 80 MB cache supports data processing in multithreaded applications, games, and simultaneous workloads.

Graphics processing is handled by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. The discrete graphics adapter is designed for modern games, three-dimensional graphics, video editing, and other GPU-accelerated workloads.

The 18-inch IPS display has a 2560 × 1600 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. A 300 Hz refresh rate supports smooth rendering of fast-moving content. Brightness of 500 nits, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and an anti-glare surface provide a detailed image under different lighting conditions.

The system includes 16 GB of DDR5 memory and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 solid-state drive. This configuration provides storage space for applications, games, and project files while reducing loading times for software and stored data.

Two USB4 ports support data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps, DisplayPort video output, and G-SYNC. One USB4 port also supports USB Power Delivery. Additional connectivity includes HDMI 2.1 FRL, RJ45, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports.

The chiclet keyboard features per-key RGB lighting and a dedicated Copilot key. A 1080p FHD camera supports video communication. Audio functions include Dolby Atmos, Smart Amp technology, Hi-Res certification for headphones, and AI-based noise cancellation.
