The laptop is powered by VR ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 with MAX-Q Design. 8th Generation Intel Core i+4 H-series quad or six-core CPUs and up to 32GB DDR4-2666 RAM will power the latest titles and manage multitasking and memory intensive programs with ease. The laptop includes a flexible variety of storage options, including SSD, HDD, SSD + HDD, or even HDD + Intel Optane memory for storage acceleration.
Thoughtfully engineered for the heat gaming generates, with larger fans, a 3-phase motor, and fluid dynamic bearings to create less friction and more consistent fan speed control in all configurations.
Stunning visuals come fast on the 15.6-inch diagonal display, with options including 144hz 1080p, 60Hz 4k8, or 60Hz 1080p and NVIDIA G-SYNC technology on select configurations. Sound blasts through stereo speakers powered with audio by Bang & Olufsen along and a discrete audio amplifier. For those opting to wear headsets, enjoy DTS Headphone:X 10 for simulated surround sound to pinpoint where every footstep or ambient sound is coming from.
Do-it-yourself additions are made easy through Phillips-head screws on the base of the laptop along with single panel access for storage and memory. The laptop comes with a wide variety of ports now located at the back to allow for more freedom of movement, especially for those who use a wired mouse.
