Add to that 64 GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 5600 MHz, expandable via its 2 free slots, and you get rock-solid smoothness even under heavy multitasking. On the storage side, this beast packs a first 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD complemented by a second 2 TB drive, for a total of 3 TB of ultra-fast space to store your entire game library without compromise.

The 18-inch WQXGA Mini LED display in a 16:10 format offers a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels with a blistering 250 Hz refresh rate, delivering razor-sharp fluidity in the most intense battles. Brightness of 1000 cd/m², combined with HDR 1000 certification and DCI-P3 100% colour coverage, ensures vivid colours and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, while the ultra-fast 9 ms response time eliminates any trace of motion blur.

To keep up the pace without overheating, the 6th generation of AeroBlade 3D Fan Technology comes into play: its ultra-thin 0.05 mm blades, numbering 100 per fan, deliver up to 20% more airflow, ensuring optimal cooling even during the most demanding gaming sessions. To dominate online, Killer Wi-Fi 7 BE connectivity and Bluetooth 5.3 ensure minimal latency and rock-solid network stability. The USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 port (USB 3.2 Gen 2, up to 20 Gbps) with DisplayPort and integrated charging, alongside the HDMI port and 3 additional USB 3.2 ports, provide comprehensive connectivity for your entire gaming or streaming setup.
