Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your external displays can accept HDMI 2.1 output for full resolution and refresh rate support. Confirm your network infrastructure can use the 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN port and that Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 meet your wireless needs. Ensure your peripherals suit the port layout: one Thunderbolt 4 USB-C with DP and PD 3.0, three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an RJ-45 jack and a combo audio socket. The 240 W adapter and 90 Whr battery are integrated.

Best for high-refresh competitive play

The 24-core CPU, 64GB memory and 240 Hz 100% DCI-P3 screen suit competitive gamers and content creators who need fast response and colour accuracy. Buyers wanting a lighter chassis, longer unplugged runtime or a touchscreen should consider other models. Those needing greater storage capacity or a higher-tier GPU will also need to look elsewhere.
