The keyboard uses Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile mechanical switches designed for mobile rigs and includes full RGB per-key backlighting. The cooling system is robust, with four fans, seven heat pipes, and six vents to help sustain performance during long sessions.
The display is a 17.3-inch panel at 3840×2160 with a 120 Hz refresh rate and True Color support. Battery capacity is 99.9 Wh, and the machine weighs a little over 3 kg with a thickness below 23 mm.
