- Is the 18-inch screen worth it over a 16-inch gaming laptop?
- If the laptop stays on a desk, yes: the extra screen area makes games and timelines easier to read. If you carry it often, a 16-inch model is lighter and easier to pack.
- Can it run modern games at high frame rates?
- Yes. The RTX 5070 with 12GB VRAM targets high-refresh 1440p gaming, and the 240Hz or 300Hz panel lets those frames show. Demanding titles at native 2560x1600 may need upscaling or reduced settings.
- How much RAM and storage does it have, and can I upgrade?
- It ships with 32GB DDR5 and a 1TB SSD. Both are user-accessible on this chassis, so you can add storage or more memory later.
- Is the keyboard backlit?
- Yes, the keyboard is backlit and includes a number pad, which suits games and spreadsheet work alike.
- Does it support the latest Wi-Fi?
- It has Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), so it can use newer routers' faster bands if your network supports them.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop, its power adapter and the usual paperwork. A mouse and headset are not included.
