—
ProcessorIntel 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.

MSI
Intel Core i7-14700HX; 20 cores (8 P + 12 E), 28 threads, 33 MB cache, up to 5.5 GHz

The HX series is a high-power laptop processor; real performance depends on MSI’s power modes and cooling.

MSI
GraphicsNVIDIA 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
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; boost up to 2115 MHz; 321 AI TOPS MSI
GPU power limitUp 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
Up to 115 W maximum graphics power with Dynamic Boost

The RTX 4070 Laptop GPU can be configured between 35 and 115 W; this SKU sits at the top of that range. Dynamic Boost shifts power to the GPU when CPU load is low.

MSI
Display16-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.

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

The 16:10 ratio gives more vertical space at the same width; 240 Hz shows motion more smoothly in high-frame-rate games.

MSI
Memory32 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
16 GB (2 × 8 GB) DDR5-5600; 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB

Memory is not soldered; capacity can be raised by replacing the two modules.

MSI
Storage2 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
1 TB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4); 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 and 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5-compatible slot

The second slot allows an extra SSD; the Gen5-compatible slot accepts faster new-generation SSDs.

MSI
USB-C / Thunderbolt2 × 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.

Other ports2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2; HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); SD Express card reader; 3.5 mm headset jack

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports transfer up to 10 Gbit/s. HDMI 2.1 can drive a 4K TV or monitor at 120 Hz.
