I’m a big fan of the screen provided with this 15.6-inch laptop too, which hits a 2560x1440 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate. Pixel response times are listed at 3ms GtG, which is good for a laptop, while 300 nits of brightness is sufficient for use in bright rooms. After years of 1080p screens in 15-inch laptops, it’s great to see this sharper resolution become the norm - especially as 1080p gaming on this class of graphics hardware is perhaps a waste of the machine’s potential, unless you’re also engaging high-end effects like ray tracing.
The port report is also promising, with HDMI 2.1 (for connecting to 4K TVs and monitors up to 120Hz), a USB-C port with DisplayPort support and three USB-A ports of various speeds. Gigabit ethernet, a headphone jack and an AC input are also provided.
