In addition, external output supports HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4, plus 4K HDR output at 4K UHD resolution at 60Hz, allowing you to experience realistic images on up to four screens!
The CPU is a 10th generation Intel Core i9-10980HK processor running 8 cores and 16 threads , the GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPRE Max-Q, the memory is 32GB of high-speed DDR4-3200 memory, and storage is a PCI Express 3.0 x 4 connected by PCI Express 3.0 x4 in RAID 0 configuration, it is a high spec that we don't know what more to do.
The unique ROG Boost feature allows the GPU clock to be boosted to above the rated level, so it can project graphics that are more stunning than machines with GPUs of the same spec.
With such high performance, heat generation may be a concern, but Thermal Grizzly's liquid metal grease significantly lowers CPU temperatures.
In addition, ROG's new proprietary high-performance cooling system, Active Aerodynamic System Plus, improves airflow by up to 30% compared to conventional configurations.
The 13° angle of the ScreenPad Plus not only improves visibility, but also creates a 28.5mm high space behind it, opening up the air intake and significantly reducing temperature rise and noise.
