Release year20252025
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 7 255HX; 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficiency), 20 threads, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB Intel Smart Cache

The Intel AI Boost NPU, rated at up to 13 TOPS, is built into the processor.

Lenovo		Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores / 24 threads, 36 MB cache, up to 5.4 GHz GIGABYTE
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 2662 MHz boost, 115 W TGP, 440 AI TOPS

115 W TGP is among the higher power limits used for this GPU in laptops; the same RTX 5050 runs at lower power in thinner chassis. The graphics chip is soldered. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5060 and 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

Lenovo		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 16 GB GDDR7; up to 175 W graphics power including Dynamic Boost; up to 1,902 MHz AI Boost clock (1,702 + 200 MHz OC)

175 W includes the share Dynamic Boost shifts to the GPU when CPU load is low; GIGABYTE notes the figure may vary by scenario. The desktop RTX 5080 is a different card.

GIGABYTE
Display15.1-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1000 nits peak, 100% DCI-P3, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 600, Dolby Vision

DisplayHDR True Black 600 is the VESA tier verifying 600-nit peak brightness and very low black level on OLED panels. The panel is factory colour-calibrated and TÜV-certified for low blue light and flicker-free operation; it is not a touchscreen. The platform sheet does not list G-SYNC for this panel.

Lenovo		16-inch 16:10 OLED, 2560 × 1600 (WQXGA), 240 Hz, 1 ms; 100% DCI-P3; 500 nits peak; 1,000,000:1 contrast; glossy surface

240 Hz shows motion more clearly in fast games and puts the RTX 5080’s high frame rates on screen; 500 nits is an HDR peak, not sustained full-screen brightness.

GIGABYTE
Memory16 GB (1 × 16 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, dual-channel capable

With one module fitted at the factory, memory runs in single channel; adding a matching module to the free slot enables dual channel. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested is 32 GB.

Lenovo		DDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 64 GB

Memory is not soldered. The BYHC5USE64SH ships with 2 × 16 GB, so both slots are filled and upgrading means swapping modules.

GIGABYTE
Storage1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD; 2 × M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

A second SSD can be fitted in the free M.2 slot.

Lenovo		PCIe NVMe M.2; one PCIe Gen5 and one PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 slot, up to 4 TB

A second SSD can be added. The Gen5 slot gives higher sequential speeds with a compatible Gen5 SSD; which slot the factory SSD uses can vary by configuration.

GIGABYTE
Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40 Gbps USB-C (DisplayPort 2.1), 1 × USB-C 10 Gbps (USB PD 95–100 W, DisplayPort 2.1), 3 × USB-A 5 Gbps (one always on), 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K 60 Hz), 1 × RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm headset jack, slim-tip power input

USB-C charging works only through the 10 Gbps port; the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept power. Up to 3 external displays are supported alongside the built-in panel: HDMI up to 8K 60 Hz, USB-C up to 5K 60 Hz. There is no SD card reader.

Hybrid graphics—NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC

Advanced Optimus switches the display between integrated graphics and the RTX GPU without a reboot: a direct GPU path in games, battery savings in light work.

GIGABYTE
Display certifications—VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, VESA ClearMR 10000, Dolby Vision, Pantone Validated, TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light

True Black 500 certifies HDR peak brightness of 500 nits together with OLED’s deep blacks; ClearMR 10000 is a motion-clarity tier.

GIGABYTE
Left ports—DC-in; RJ-45 1 Gbit LAN; HDMI 2.1; USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2); USB-C Thunderbolt 5 (USB4, DisplayPort 2.1, Power Delivery 3.0)

The Thunderbolt 5 port suits high-bandwidth external SSDs, docks and DisplayPort 2.1 monitors; HDMI 2.1 supports high-refresh TVs and monitors.

GIGABYTE
Right ports—USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2); USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (USB4, DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery 3.0); microSD card reader (UHS-II); 3.5 mm headphone/mic combo

The two USB-C ports differ in speed and display version; for a high-resolution external display the left Thunderbolt 5 port is the better choice.

GIGABYTE
Audio and camera—Four 2 W speakers, Dolby Atmos, Smart Amp; 1080p IR camera, Windows Hello face login, array microphone GIGABYTE
Keyboard—3-zone RGB backlight, up to 1.7 mm key travel, N-key rollover

N-key rollover means every simultaneously pressed key is registered, avoiding missed inputs in games. Lighting is set in three zones, not per key.

GIGABYTE
Battery and adapter—99 Wh lithium-ion; 330 W AC adapter

99 Wh is close to the upper limit for laptop batteries allowed on planes. Full GPU power needs the 330 W adapter; USB-C charging via Power Delivery 3.0 is possible but performance is reduced.
