Overview

Entry-level gaming laptop

A basic gaming laptop pairing dedicated NVIDIA graphics with a high-refresh Full HD screen. It offers replaceable memory, though internal storage is limited to one SSD position.

  • 144 Hz display

    The 1920 × 1080 screen refreshes at 144 Hz, allowing smoother motion than a standard 60 Hz display.

  • Dedicated graphics

    The RTX 2050 Laptop GPU has 4 GB of its own graphics memory. It provides a separate GPU for games and compatible creative applications.

  • Replaceable memory

    Two memory slots support up to 64 GB. The supplied 16 GB uses two 8 GB modules, so an upgrade means replacing the existing modules.
