OLED sibling panels, their HDR and numerical review results are excluded.","refresh_rate_modes":"Exact selected native 2560 x 1600 IPS display operates at 240 Hz. Matching exact retailer narrative additionally states built-in NVIDIA G-SYNC. No lower-resolution dual mode is inferred.","dci_p3_coverage_pct":"Exact retained IPS 240 Hz maker feature text says up to 100% DCI-P3, corroborated as 100% in exact retailer narrative. Gamut measurement method is unspecified. Generic HDR promotion does not prove a VESA certification or numeric HDR peak.","memory_slots":"Exact maker publishes 16 GB and two sockets. Manufacturer-supplied exact retailer identity separately establishes two installed 8 GB clocked CSO-DIMM modules. Original same-model service guide confirms two replaceable modules and lists matching 8 GB parts with CKD. Ordinary SO-DIMM naming is not used for the installed clocked modules.","storage_pcie_gen":"Exact retained installed 1 TB SSD interface is PCI Express NVMe 4.0. This does not prove the maximum generation of either physical slot.","wifi_module":"Exact store names Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1675i and Bluetooth 5.4 or above. Bluetooth is stored as the literal lower-bound wording, not an exact version. Older service part alternatives and DE Bluetooth 5.3 are not inherited.","charger_w":"Exact selected maker maximum power-supply rating is 330 W, with adapter and cord included. Original service FRU table confirms 330 W main adapters with 5.5 mm barrel connector. USB-C accepted input is a separate 100 W capability.","in_the_box":"Exact US original maker package explicitly includes power adapter and power cord.

Left has Ethernet, one USB-A Gen 1, microSD and audio combo. Right has two USB-A Gen 2 and Kensington slot. USB-C text explicitly states 90/100 W input at 20 V on both connectors and up to 5 V/3 A, 15 W, peripheral output. At 100 W input use is limited and docks or high-resolution monitor expansion are discouraged. No shared simultaneous output budget is stated. Each USB-C is counted once despite several protocols. Rear non-Thunderbolt USB-C stays 10 Gbps, not 40. Original manual printed page 17 explicitly states Ethernet 2.5 Gbps. This direct laptop capability takes precedence over CompSource's conflicting structured 5 Gigabit Ethernet cell and the generic maker blog's Gigabit wording.","numpad":"Page 22 explicitly states a physical numeric keypad. Complete matching keyboard figure and genuine exact-SKU photo corroborate it.","pointing_stick":"Complete keyboard figure and control descriptions show no dedicated pointing stick.","windows_hello_ir":"Page 15 explicitly states the built-in IR camera supports Windows Hello facial recognition. Original maker matrix and exact retained retailer confirm FHD IR camera.","microphone_count":"Page 14 screen view identifies two physical microphones under item 1 and a distinct third microphone under item 4. Service guide separately identifies the third microphone module. Total three, not beamforming channels.","power_modes":"Pages 54–55 explicitly list Quiet, Balanced, Performance, Turbo and Eco. Available choices depend on AC versus battery operation. AC mode switching requires battery capacity at least 40%. No numerical configured power limits are given, so no generic chip or observed benchmark values are assigned.","charger_connector":"Rear main DC-in jack is shown on page 20.
