GraphicsIntegrated AMD Radeon 8060S HPNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (desktop)

The desktop RTX 5070 is a different, higher-power card than the laptop GPU of the same name. As a standard PCIe card it can be replaced later.

MSI
Memory128 GB LPDDR5x; onboard

CPU and GPU share this capacity; there are no plug-in DIMM memory slots.

HP		32 GB DDR5

The MSI sheet does not give memory speed or module count. Owner reviews say memory may run at a lower speed out of the box and reaches its rated speed once the EXPO profile is enabled in the BIOS.

MSI
GPU memory allocationUp to 96 GB of the 128 GB can be allocated to the GPU

This is not 128 GB plus another 96 GB; it leaves less for the OS and applications.
