Good to know
- The 16 GB RAM is a single stick, likely running in single-channel mode; adding a matching second 16 GB stick is a sensible upgrade.
- This configuration uses the 1920 x 1200 144 Hz panel; the 2560 x 1600 240 Hz screen comes only on other configurations.
- Windows 11 Home Single Language cannot switch display language without upgrading the licence.
- It uses the H-class Core Ultra 7 255H, not an HX processor.
- The series has no USB4, Thunderbolt or SD card reader.
