Desktop-Grade Processing for Gaming and AI
The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor delivers 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz boost. This provides the headroom for high-frame-rate gaming and complex creative work.

NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti with DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing
The discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory. It supports DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and full ray tracing. This combination boosts frame rates and image quality in supported titles. Reflex 2 technologies further reduce system latency for competitive gaming.

The 18-inch IPS panel offers a 2560 x 1600 resolution and a 250 Hz refresh rate. It covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour space, making visuals vibrant and accurate. The matte surface reduces glare, and the 1000 cd/m² brightness helps in well-lit rooms. This display is ideal for fast-paced gaming and colour-sensitive creative tasks.
Advanced Thermal Design and Control
The cooling system uses 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fans and liquid metal thermal grease. Precision-engineered airflow keeps the laptop stable under sustained loads. You can monitor and adjust performance profiles using PredatorSense software. This gives you direct control over fan speeds and RGB lighting zones.
