Built for high-refresh competitive play

This 16-inch laptop pairs a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card carrying 24 GB of GDDR7 memory. The 2560 x 1600 Mini LED panel runs at 240 Hz, giving esports titles and fast single-player games the frame rate headroom they demand. Windows 11 Pro is installed and ready to run.

Suits creators who need GPU compute on the move

The 64 GB of DDR5 5600 memory and 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD handle large video timelines, 3D scenes and machine-learning workloads without swapping. Buyers who only browse the web or edit documents will not use this hardware; a thinner ultraportable with a lower-wattage chip makes more sense for them.

Thermal paste upgrade changes sustained clocks

HIDevolution replaces the stock compound with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU. Lower junction temperatures let the 5090 and the 275HX hold higher boost frequencies for longer during extended renders or gaming sessions. The 2025 chassis measures 13.94 x 10.55 x 0.90~1.21 inches and weighs 6.28 lbs.
