What's Inside?

Intel Core i9 14900HX

Lowest Laptop Price Found: $1399.00 | Average Laptop Price: $2780.74

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 4070

Lowest Laptop Price Found: $1449.00 | Average Laptop Price: $1908.25

A card with an identity crisis, the 4070 is only ~12% more powerful than the 4060, and is completely overshadowed by the 4080.
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.

18.0" IPS, (2.5K+ / WQXGA)

17" and 18" screens offer the best visibility for gaming or productivity but are somewhat bulky.
IPS (In-Plane Switching) screens offer great viewing angles and color accuracy — and aren't too expensive.
