18-inch UHD+ Mini LED 240Hz

This gaming laptop pairs an 18-inch UHD+ Mini LED panel at 240 Hz with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and an NVIDIA RTX 5090 Laptop GPU carrying 24 GB GDDR7. It ships with 96 GB of DDR5 6400 memory and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage across two 4 TB drives. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed on the Core Black chassis.

Upgraded thermal compound and storage

The builder applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on the CPU and GPU to lower temperatures and reduce throttling under heavy load. The original storage is replaced with two 4 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs for faster boot and load times. These changes target users who need sustained performance in long rendering or simulation sessions.

PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface limits

The 8 TB array uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, so sequential throughput is capped by that standard rather than by newer PCIe 5.0 drives. The 240 Hz Mini LED display reaches 3840 by 2400 resolution, demanding full GPU bandwidth for high-refresh gaming. DDR5 6400 memory speed is subject to system capability and may run lower depending on workload.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions and weight of the 18 inch chassis?

The laptop measures 15.91 inches wide by 12.11 inches deep by 0.94 to 1.26 inches high and weighs 7.94 lbs.

How is the Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound applied during the build-to-order process?

The vendor disassembles the cooling assembly, cleans the CPU and GPU dies, applies Gelid GC Extreme to both, then reassembles and stress-tests the system before shipping.

When the 96 GB DDR5 6400MHz memory or 8 TB NVMe storage needs replacement, what specifications must the new modules match?

Use DDR5 6400MHz SO-DIMMs up to 48 GB per slot for memory and M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs for storage to retain the original dual-channel and RAID configuration.
