Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the display 18 inches or 16 inches? The title and specs mention 18", but the description says 16".
The laptop has an 18-inch display. The title and product details specify an 18-inch screen, while the description contains an error referencing a 16-inch model. The correct specification is an 18-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) panel.
What is the actual refresh rate of the screen: 240Hz or 300Hz?
The screen refresh rate is 300Hz. The technical specifications in the description incorrectly list 240Hz, but the bullet points and product positioning consistently state it is a 300Hz display for competitive gaming.
Is the RAM and storage upgradeable, and what is installed by default?
Yes, both are upgradeable. This specific configuration comes with 64GB of DDR5 RAM installed (expandable via its two slots) and a 4TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD. The storage can be expanded up to a total of 8TB.
Does this configuration include the mechanical keyboard option mentioned in the bullet points?
No. The technical specifications list the keyboard as having per-key AlienFX RGB lighting but do not specify it includes the optional CherryMX mechanical switches. The description of the mechanical keyboard is presented as an available choice, not a feature of this specific SKU.
Why does the listing say the manufacturer's box is opened?
The box is opened by the seller to perform the upgrades that achieve the advertised specifications (64GB RAM and 4TB SSD). The laptop is tested and inspected after these modifications are installed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly, although not perfect.
Fantastic machine with just a couple problems. 1) VMWare workstation Pro - I have to run a Powershell script to turn off some Windows energy feature messing with the VMWare exe. and 2) In my virtual machines, in Teams, the camera has a hard time connecting, although it eventually does. That said, this laptop is top of the line. Awesome. I love it. I use this machine for work where I program industrial equipment. The speed and screen size are both awesome which results in higher productivity for me.
