Overview

Desktop-replacement gaming laptop

A 16-inch laptop for demanding games and creative work, with dedicated GeForce graphics and room for memory and storage expansion.

  • Dedicated graphics

    GeForce RTX graphics handle games and supported GPU-accelerated creative work using dedicated graphics memory, separate from the laptop's main memory.

  • Dual-fan cooling

    Two fans and six heat pipes move heat away from the CPU and GPU during demanding work. The cooling hardware is part of the tradeoff behind the larger chassis.

  • Memory and drive expansion

    Two memory slots support up to 96 GB, and two M.2 slots provide space for separate system and project or game drives.

Graphics memory

  • 12 GBRTX 5070 Ti. The starting graphics option here; larger game textures and creative assets share its 12 GB capacity.
  • 16 GBRTX 5080. More room for high-resolution texture packs, video effects and larger scenes.
  • 24 GBRTX 5090. Useful when large 3D projects or local AI models need more graphics memory than the other options provide.

These GPUs also differ in processing power. Memory capacity alone does not tell you the frame rate in a game.
