Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic A2WJ
This 18-inch gaming laptop combines an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor with an NVIDIA RTX 5090 laptop GPU and 128 GB of DDR5 memory. The 3840 by 2400 Mini LED panel runs at 240 Hz. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed on a 32 TB NVMe Gen4 SSD array. It targets enthusiasts who need desktop-class compute and graphics in a portable chassis.
Sustained load behaviour
Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on the CPU and GPU lowers peak temperatures during extended sessions. The 24-core processor can reach 5.5 GHz turbo while the RTX 5090 holds high clocks for rendering or AI workloads. Stress testing by the builder confirms stable operation without throttling under continuous heavy utilisation.
Installation and common issues
The system arrives fully assembled with latest BIOS, drivers and a completed burn-in, so no end-user build steps are required. The only user-accessible upgrades are the two M.2 slots and two SO-DIMM slots, both already populated at maximum capacity. Most reported issues relate to the 7.94 lb weight and the 15.91 by 12.11 inch footprint when choosing a backpack or sleeve.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the RTX 5090 get when the 24-core Ultra 9 290HX Plus runs at 5.5 GHz all day?
The Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound upgrade on both CPU and GPU is designed to lower system temperatures and prevent throttling during sustained intensive workloads.
What must I already own to use the 32 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage and 128 GB of DDR5 5600 memory?
The laptop ships with two 8 TB M.2 SSDs and two 64 GB DDR5 modules fully installed, so no additional drives or memory kits are required for the listed capacities.
Will my existing USB-A peripherals and external monitors work with the 18-inch 3840 x 2400 240 Hz Mini LED panel?
The system includes standard LAN and WLAN communication; specific port types for legacy USB-A devices or external display outputs are not detailed in the provided specifications.
