Overview

Gaming and creator laptop

The catalogued PHN16-I71 configuration combines a Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus, RTX 5080 laptop graphics and a 165 Hz OLED display.

  • OLED gaming display

    The 16-inch 2560 × 1600 OLED panel combines deep blacks, 165 Hz refresh and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Its glossy surface is a tradeoff in brightly lit rooms.

  • Cooling hardware

    An AeroBlade 3D fan, a second fan, liquid-metal thermal material and vector heat pipes form the cooling system for the HX processor and discrete graphics.
