What's Inside?
Intel Core i9 14900HX
- The 'Core i's are no longer made - but are still strong performers. Generates more heat than the new Intel Core Ultras.
- The '9' CPU is a true powerhouse, sometimes considered overkill, but it gets the job done fast and without fuss. It's built for demanding tasks like live-streaming, video editing, and AI model training.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
- A high-tier card, this powerful hardware will play any game at highest settings. Beware, it starts to run hot because of all that power.
- The 4000 series is the previous generation from NVIDIA, and still stands proudly alongside the newer 5000s with less than a 10% performance difference between like tiers. Not a bad choice.
32 GB of RAM
- 32 GB is heading to become the new standard, but isn't as widely available as you'd think. It's ideal for power users, video editing, multitasking (like running VMs), and moderate AI training.
1 TB SSD
- 1 TB is the recommended minimum for most users, providing a very usable amount of room for games and files.
- The modern SSD is around 20-40x faster than conventional hard drives, and far more physically resilient.
16.0" Mini LED, (2.5K+ / WQXGA)
- 15" and 16" are the standard screen sizes, balancing portability and screen real estate.
- Mini LED screens are very bright and offer high contrast, though not as vibrant as OLED.
