18" UHD+ Mini LED Display

The 18-inch UHD+ Mini LED panel runs at 120 Hz with a 3840 x 2400 resolution. It targets creators and competitive gamers who need a large, colour-accurate workspace in a single portable chassis. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed for immediate productivity.

Sustained Thermal Performance

Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound replaces the stock interface material on both the 24-core Ultra 9 285HX and the RTX 5090 GPU. The upgrade lowers peak temperatures during extended compute or rendering sessions, reducing the likelihood of throttling when all 24 threads hold 5.5 GHz boost clocks. A full burn-in and stress test validates stability before shipment.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Raider 18 HX AI get when the Ultra 9-285HX and RTX 5090 run at full load for hours?

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on the CPU and GPU during assembly. This lowers peak temperatures and reduces the chance of throttling during sustained workloads.

Which peripherals or docks must I already own to use the 3840 x 2400 120 Hz Mini LED panel and 24 GB GDDR7 graphics?

The laptop includes the display and GPU internally. External monitors connect through the built-in video outputs; no proprietary dock is required for the native screen or the RTX 5090.

Will my existing DDR5 5600 MHz SO-DIMM kits work alongside the factory 2 x 64 GB modules?

The system ships with 128 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory in two slots. Adding third-party sticks is possible if they match the same speed and form factor, but the factory configuration already fills both channels.
