What's Inside?

Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX

Lowest Laptop Price Found: $1499.99 | Average Laptop Price: $2945.52

Intel Core Ultra series is the newer, stronger, and more efficient Core i series - and enhanced with AI.
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 5090

Lowest Laptop Price Found: $2999.99 | Average Laptop Price: $4565.02

The 5090 is the most powerful GPU available, handling any game at max settings. It runs hot and is found only in premium builds. Very pricey.
The 5000 series the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs. Interestingly, they're only an average of ~9% more performant than last generation.

64 GB of RAM

64 GB or more is generally unnecessary unless you're working with massive datasets or professional AI modeling.

2 TB SSD

Anywhere between 2 and 4 TB is for those who know they need a fair amount of storage. Games can exceed 100 GB, and pictures and videos are getting larger as well.
The modern SSD is around 20-40x faster than conventional hard drives, and far more physically resilient.

18.0" None, (2.5K+ / WQXGA)

17" and 18" screens offer the best visibility for gaming or productivity but are somewhat bulky.
