Know before you buy
While the 360Hz refresh rate is primarily designed for competitive gaming to provide ultra-smooth motion, it also makes system animations and scrolling feel exceptionally fluid during daily use. However, you will only see the full benefit of this high refresh rate in games where your hardware can push high frame rates.
The laptop comes with a generous 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, which is more than enough for most users. While the components are high-end, you should check the specific internal layout if you plan on future upgrades, as laptop memory and storage configurations can vary by model.
Yes, this laptop ships with Windows 10 Pro and is fully eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11. You can perform this update through the standard Windows Update settings once you have finished the initial setup.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 with 16GB of VRAM is a powerhouse that handles modern AAA titles at high settings with ease. It is particularly well-suited for high-frame-rate gaming and demanding creative tasks like video editing or 3D rendering.
The 90Wh battery provides solid longevity for general productivity, but gaming laptops are power-intensive. For the best performance and to avoid frame rate throttling, you should keep the laptop plugged into a power source while gaming.
This feature, often referred to as Resizable BAR, allows the processor to access the entire GPU memory at once rather than in small chunks. This can lead to improved frame rates and smoother performance in many supported games.
