The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU delivers desktop-class performance with 24 cores and 5.4GHz turbo speeds. GPU benchmarks show the RTX 5080 outperforming last-gen's RTX 4090 by 5%, while the RTX 5070 Ti matches RTX 4080 performance.

The redesigned magnesium alloy chassis features improved cooling with larger vents, enhanced copper heat pipes, and advanced thermal materials. Despite supporting up to 240W TDP, the system maintains reasonable noise levels. The modernized design features rounded edges, hidden hinges, and customizable RGB lighting. Both models include ample ports: USB-A, Thunderbolt, HDMI 2.1, and card reader.
