ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 24 threads, up to 5.4 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 160 W maximum turbo power for this chip; actual power in the laptop depends on HP's tuning and cooling.

HP		Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 24 threads, 36 MB L3, up to 5.4 GHz

The chip also includes an Intel AI Boost NPU, a block set aside for running AI tasks at low power.

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU; 16 GB GDDR7; Advanced Optimus

This is the laptop RTX 5080, not the desktop card. HP's product sheet does not give the GPU power limit (TGP) for this SKU. Advanced Optimus switches the display between integrated and discrete GPU without a reboot.

HP		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU; 16 GB GDDR7; up to 2287 MHz

The RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 5080 card; its power limit and cooling conditions differ.

MSI
Memory32 GB DDR5-5600 (2 × 16 GB), dual-channel; 2 slots

Both slots are filled; upgrading means replacing the modules. HP does not list the maximum capacity on this page.

HP		32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB, up to DDR5-6400

The MSI USA table lists the installed modules as DDR5-5600; the 6400 in the spec sheet is the top speed the platform supports. The slots take replaceable modules.

MSI
Storage1 TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 M.2 SSD slots

The second M.2 slot allows adding another SSD later.

HP		2 TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD; two M.2 slots (one Gen4, one Gen5)

MSI says storage upgrades should go through a service centre. The Gen5 slot can give higher sequential speeds than Gen4 with a compatible SSD.

MSI
Display16-inch WQXGA 2560 × 1600, 16:10, IPS, anti-glare; 60–240 Hz, 3 ms

Games need high frame rates to benefit from 240 Hz; the panel follows variable frame rates with G-SYNC.

HP		16-inch QHD+ 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, IPS-level panel; 100% DCI-P3 (typical)

MSI describes the panel as "IPS-level", which does not necessarily mean it is an IPS panel. 240 Hz makes motion smoother in fast games, provided the game produces high frame rates.

Model code—Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG-058US (part no. VECTOR16HXA2058); Cosmo Gray

The A2XWIG letters mark the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU configuration; RTX 5070, 5070 Ti and 5090 versions of the same chassis are sold under other codes. Memory, SSD and Wi-Fi card vary by SKU number.

MSI
GPU power limit—Up to 175 W with Dynamic Boost; up to 240 W combined CPU + GPU with MSI OverBoost Ultra

MSI notes the figure may vary by scenario. 175 W is the upper limit NVIDIA allows for the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU; the card draws less in lower power modes and on battery.

MSI
USB-C / Thunderbolt—2 × Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.1)

The Thunderbolt 5 ports carry data, an external display and charging over one cable with compatible devices. The laptop reaches full performance on its 330 W adapter; USB-C charging runs at lower power.

MSI
Other ports—2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2; HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); SD Express card reader; 3.5 mm headset jack
