Is the RTX 3070 Ti enough for QHD gaming?

Yes for most current titles at high settings, helped by the 240Hz QHD panel. The 8GB of VRAM is the limit for very high-resolution textures and heavy ray tracing.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

It ships with 32GB of DDR5 in two slots and a 1TB Gen4 SSD. Both are user-accessible on this model, so you can swap or add storage later.

Does it run hot or loud?

The thin chassis means it gets warm and the fans are audible under sustained gaming. Cooler Boost Trinity+ helps, but expect noise during heavy loads.

The laptop and its power adapter. No mouse or bag is included.

Is it good for video editing and 3D work?

Yes. The i9-12900H, 32GB of RAM and RTX 3070 Ti handle editing, rendering and 3D tasks well, and the DCI-P3 screen suits color work.

How does it compare with the GS66 Stealth 11th-gen?

This 12th-gen model adds a faster CPU, DDR5 memory and a Gen4 SSD over the previous generation, with the same slim chassis approach.
