## Description

The advanced ROG Intelligent Cooling system, with a vapor chamber, sandwiched heatsink, Tri-fan design, and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal, ensures peak performance under intense workloads. Enjoy breathtaking visuals on the 2.5K ROG Nebula HDR Display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy, enhanced by a dual ACR anti-reflective coating.

Review: Runs cold, great CPU, high performance - Upgraded from 6800H/3070Ti and it’s been great, even for unoptimized games like Tarkov and PUBG. Great performance and no heat problems whatsoever. As a desktop replacement it works extremely well, but weight might be a problem if you actually trying to carry this thing around with you. Appearance: solid black plastic, looks good, it had RGB lights all around is good if you’re into that. Personally I just put it on solid red. Which creates some ambient light but isn’t enough to illuminate the desk or annoy you at night. Right now it’s definitely a better value for money than 4090 model. Really surprised how cold the CPU runs. I think I never got it higher than 85C. Fans aren’t very loud either.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, does not run hot, with some comments
*by M***S on October 16, 2025*

So far, so good after three weeks. A strong plus is that I can use this on my thighs and it not burn my thighs like the Alienware does. I also find that I like the 18 inch screen more than I thought I would. One small negative is that my power cord loosely pops out of the adapter. I requested a replacement and they are willing and eager to do that. It is heavy(er) but I expect that for everything it has in it. It would also be nice if they had a keyboard that did not have the number pad because that’s just taking up real estate. Doing that would make more space for having separate delete/insert keys instead of combining them as they do now.
