Built for High-End Gaming and Creation
This 18-inch laptop pairs a 16-core Ryzen 9 8940HX processor with an RTX 5050 graphics card holding 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. Windows 11 Pro runs on 96 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The hardware targets users who need desktop-class throughput in a portable chassis.
Upgraded Thermal Materials and 144 Hz Display
HIDevolution applies Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU to lower operating temperatures. The 18.0-inch WUXGA IPS-level panel delivers a 1920 x 1200 resolution at 144 Hz. The Eclipse Gray chassis measures 15.71 by 11.57 by 0.91 to 1.21 inches and weighs 6.61 lbs.
Sustained Performance Through Custom Cooling
The liquid-metal and high-conductivity paste combination keeps the 16-core CPU and RTX 5050 GPU cooler under continuous load. Lower junction temperatures allow higher sustained clock speeds without excessive fan noise. The 96 GB DDR5 configuration runs at 5600 MHz in dual-channel mode to feed data-hungry workloads efficiently.
