What's Inside?
AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS
- AMD's Ryzen processors are slightly better performers than equivalent Intel processors, and usually at a lower price.
- 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
- 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.
16 GB of RAM
- 16 GB is the current standard and handles most workloads. We are in a transition period towards 32 GB systems, but 16 GB is still king in today's market.
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" None, (Full HD / FHD)
- 15" and 16" are the standard screen sizes, balancing portability and screen real estate.
