Built for competitive play
The 18 inch WQXGA panel runs at 240 Hz with a 2560 by 1600 resolution, giving fast-paced shooters and MOBA titles the motion clarity they demand. A Ryzen 9 8940HX processor hits 5.3 GHz turbo across 16 cores and 32 threads, while the RTX 5070 with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory drives high frame rates at native resolution. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD keep loading screens short and multitasking smooth.
Desk-ready connectivity
The chassis includes an RJ-45 port for wired LAN, HDMI output for an external monitor, and a headset jack for audio. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 handle wireless peripherals and streaming without extra dongles. A 90 Whr battery and 280 W power supply support extended sessions away from the wall, while the RGB keyboard and integrated webcam cover communication and aesthetics in one package.
Sustained output under load
The cooling solution is engineered to maintain the 5.3 GHz boost clock during long rendering or gaming marathons rather than throttling after a short burst. DDR5 bandwidth and the NVMe SSD keep data flowing to the GPU so the RTX 5070 can sustain its performance curve. The 16:10 display ratio adds vertical space for timelines or chat windows without sacrificing refresh rate stability.

Questions about this item
Will the 18.0" 240 Hz panel fit on my desk and in a standard laptop bag?
The chassis measures 15.75 IN wide, 11.75 IN deep and 1.4 IN high, so check your bag’s internal dimensions against those figures.
Can the 64 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM be expanded later, or is it soldered?
The memory uses SO-DIMM modules, which are removable, but the board has 64 GB installed already — verify the maximum supported capacity before buying more sticks.
Does the 280 W power brick and 90 WHr battery need a special outlet or cable?
The 280 W adapter uses a standard IEC C5 “cloverleaf” mains lead; any compatible cable works, and the 90 WHr battery charges through the same port.
