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, often considered overkill. 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.
32 GB of RAM
- 32 GB provides future-proofing and is ideal for video editing, multitasking, and moderate AI workloads.
2 TB SSD
- Anything above 1 TB is luxury territory. Video editors should still consider external drives for large 4K files.
- The modern SSD is around 20-40x faster than conventional hard drives, and far more physically resilient.
17.0" 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.
