High-Refresh Visuals for Smooth Gameplay
The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel delivers a 144 Hz refresh rate. This reduces motion blur in fast-paced games. The anti-glare finish minimises reflections in bright UK office spaces. sRGB colour coverage ensures consistent visuals for content creation. However, the keyboard is not backlit, so verify your low-light working environment.
Hybrid Power for Multitasking
The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-13650HX features 14 cores. It handles demanding applications and background tasks efficiently. Performance cores boost up to 4.9 GHz for gaming. Efficient cores manage lighter loads to conserve energy. This architecture suits UK professionals juggling spreadsheets and creative software.
RTX Graphics for Creative Work
The NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5050 has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. It accelerates rendering in supported creative apps. For example, video editing timelines scrub smoother. The dedicated GPU also enables AAA gaming at medium-to-high settings. On-board Intel® UHD Graphics switch on for battery-saving tasks.
DDR5 Speed and Fast Storage
The laptop includes 16 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM. This memory standard offers higher bandwidth than DDR4. It improves responsiveness when switching between UK browser tabs and applications. The 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD provides rapid boot times and file transfers. However, the maximum internal memory is 16 GB, so check if future upgrades are needed.
Connectivity for UK Setups
This model includes Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet LAN. Wi-Fi 6 offers stable connections on modern UK routers. The Ethernet port supports 1 Gbit/s for low-latency gaming. It has 2x USB-A and 1x USB-C ports. The USB-C port supports Power Delivery for flexible charging. HDMI 2.1 allows 4K external displays. Confirm your peripherals match these port types.
Portable Design and Privacy
The chassis uses durable ABS and Polycarbonate in Luna Grey. It weighs 2.3 kg, fitting most UK backpacks. The 60 Wh battery supports mobile work, though heavy loads drain faster. A privacy shutter covers the HD front camera. This adds physical security for remote meetings. The laptop does not include a fingerprint reader.
