Release year20252024
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 285HX; 24 cores, up to 5.5 GHz, 36 MB cache

MSI says OverBoost Ultra can allocate up to 270 W combined to the CPU and GPU; the actual figure depends on the application.

MSI
Intel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 32 threads; P-core 2.2/5.8 GHz, E-core 1.6/4.1 GHz; 36 MB Intel Smart Cache; Intel HM770 chipset Lenovo
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU; 24 GB GDDR7

The laptop version does not share the desktop RTX 5090’s configuration or power, so its performance is not the same either.

MSI
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; 2280 MHz boost clock, 175 W TGP, 542 AI TOPS

175 W is the highest total graphics power Lenovo allows in this model; going above NVIDIA’s 60–150 W base range for the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU relies on Dynamic Boost 2.0. The desktop RTX 4080 is a different product.

Lenovo
GPU power limitUp to 175 W with Dynamic Boost; boost clock up to 2,160 MHz

Dynamic Boost shifts spare power to the GPU when the processor draws less; 175 W is the upper limit for this laptop GPU.

Display18-inch, 16:10, 3840 × 2400 (UHD+), 120 Hz, Mini LED, anti-glare

MSI lists VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and about 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Mini LED splits the backlight into zones, deepening blacks in dark scenes, though a faint halo can appear around bright objects.

MSI
16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) IPS, non-touch, 500 nits, anti-glare, 16:10, 1200:1, 100% DCI-P3, 240 Hz; DisplayHDR 400, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC, X-Rite factory calibration

DisplayHDR 400 is VESA’s entry-level HDR tier; it does not require local dimming, so HDR looks less striking than on OLED or Mini LED. 240 Hz and G-SYNC give smooth, tear-free motion in fast games. Lenovo notes that “IPS” may also cover similar panel types such as PLS, ADS and AHVA.

Lenovo
Memory96 GB DDR5-6400 (2 × 48 GB); 2 SO-DIMM slots, 96 GB maximum

This configuration ships at MSI’s stated maximum; both slots are filled, so memory cannot be added, only swapped.

MSI
1 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; two slots, dual-channel capable; up to 32 GB in Lenovo’s offering

This configuration ships with a single module, so memory runs single-channel until a matching module is added to the second slot. Lenovo’s 32 GB limit is based on the modules it has tested.

Lenovo
Storage6 TB total: 1 × 2 TB PCIe 5.0 and 2 × 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs

MSI lists four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4. This SKU ships with three drives; MSI mentions Super RAID 5 support.

MSI
2 × 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD; two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots (both used)

PCIe 4.0 x4 allows up to 8 GB/s in theory; real speed depends on the SSD. There is no card reader.

Lenovo
Thunderbolt2 × Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort 2.1, up to 140 W charging over USB-PD 3.1)

USB-C charging is capped at 140 W; MSI recommends a 65–140 W USB-PD adapter. Full performance needs the included 400 W adapter.

CoolingVapor chamber

A vapor chamber spreads heat over a wide surface, helping the CPU and GPU sustain high power for longer.

MSI
Hybrid cooling: air cooling + liquid-metal thermal interface

Liquid metal transfers heat between the chip and cooler more efficiently than standard paste, which makes servicing more delicate.

Ports—1 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40 Gbit/s (DisplayPort 1.4), 1 × USB-C 10 Gbit/s (Lenovo PD 140 W, DisplayPort 1.4), 4 × USB-A 5 Gbit/s (one Always On), 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K/60 Hz), 1 × RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio

140 W charging over USB-C needs Lenovo’s own adapter; other adapters may deliver less. Up to four independent displays including the internal one are supported; Lenovo lists up to 4K/60 Hz for external outputs. Ethernet is 1 Gbit/s, not 2.5G, and supports Wake-on-LAN.

Lenovo says Super Rapid Charge reaches 30% in 10 minutes, 70% in 30 minutes and 100% in 80 minutes. 99.9 Wh sits just under the usual airline battery limit. Lenovo quotes 10.4 hours of 1080p video playback at 150 nits.
