What's Inside?
Intel Core i7 14650HX
- The 'Core i's are no longer made - but are still strong performers. Generates more heat than the new Intel Core Ultras.
- The '7' CPU is the gold standard for performance and multitasking, offering great speed at a reasonable price.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070
- The 5070 is an upscaled version of the 5060, about 12% more powerful while still at a reasonable cost. Opt for the 5070 Ti if possible for a real power boost.
- The 5000 series the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs. Interestingly, they're only an average of ~9% more performant than last generation.
16 GB of RAM

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.
15.6" IPS, (2.5K / QHD)
- 15" and 16" are the standard screen sizes, balancing portability and screen real estate.
- IPS (In-Plane Switching) screens offer great viewing angles and color accuracy — and aren't too expensive.
