Pros
- Thin and light for a 16-inch gaming laptop, at 1.85kg and up to 16.4mm thick
- 240Hz 2.5K OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 0.2ms response and G-Sync

- 90Wh battery lasted just over 8 hours in one mixed-use battery test
- Two M.2 SSD slots plus Thunderbolt 4 and a full-size UHS-II SD card reader
Cons
- RAM is soldered, so it cannot be upgraded
- Thin chassis limits GPU power to 105W on the RTX 4070 model, below thicker gaming laptops
- Fans ramp up loudly under stress-test load in review testing, and only RTX 4080 and 4090 models get vapor-chamber cooling
- Wi-Fi 6E rather than Wi-Fi 7, and a single-zone RGB keyboard
