ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 7 255HX; 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficiency), 20 threads, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB Intel Smart Cache

This configuration also includes the Intel AI Boost NPU rated at up to 13 TOPS; the NPU is designed to run AI tasks at lower power than the graphics card.

Lenovo		Intel Core i7-14650HX; 16 cores, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB cache

Raptor Lake-HX Refresh generation; 8 performance and 8 efficient cores, 24 threads. There is no separate NPU for AI.

MSI
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 2497 MHz boost, 115 W TGP, 572 AI TOPS

TGP is the power limit the graphics chip can use in this laptop; the same GPU runs slower in lower-powered chassis. The graphics chip is soldered and cannot be replaced. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

Lenovo		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; up to 115 W with Dynamic Boost; boost up to 2497 MHz

The laptop RTX 5060 is not the same card as the desktop RTX 5060; NVIDIA lists 45–100 W for the laptop version, and MSI reaches 115 W by shifting an extra 15 W with Dynamic Boost. That is the top power class for the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU; performance depends on cooling and power mode. MSI quotes 572 AI TOPS.

MSI
Display16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED, 16:10; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1100 nits HDR peak, 100% DCI-P3, 1,000,000:1 contrast, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 1000, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC

165 Hz means the panel can show up to 165 frames per second; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 1100 nits is a peak value for small areas in HDR content; everyday SDR brightness is 500 nits. The panel is factory-calibrated with X-Rite and is not a touchscreen.

Lenovo		15.6-inch Full HD (1920 × 1080), 144 Hz, IPS-level wide-view panel, thin bezel, anti-glare

144 Hz shows game motion more smoothly at up to 144 frames per second. US versions of the same family use a 165 Hz QHD panel; this SKU is Full HD.

MSI
Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, dual-channel

Memory is not soldered. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested for this platform is 32 GB; both slots are filled from the factory, so an upgrade means replacing the modules.

Lenovo		16 GB DDR5-5600 (2 × 8 GB, dual channel); 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB

The two modules run in dual channel; because the slots are socketed, memory can be upgraded later.

MSI
Storage1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD; 2 × M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

The slots are 2280-length, so a second SSD can be added. PCIe 4.0 x4 offers a theoretical 8 GB/s of bandwidth; actual speed depends on the installed SSD.

Lenovo		512 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD; 1 × M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot

This SKU has a single M.2 slot; to add storage the installed SSD has to be replaced with a larger one.

MSI
Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40 Gbps USB-C (USB PD 95–100 W, DisplayPort 2.1), 1 × USB-C 10 Gbps (USB PD 95–100 W, DisplayPort 2.1), 2 × USB-A 5 Gbps (one always on), 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K 60 Hz), SD card reader, 3.5 mm headset jack, slim-tip power input

Up to 3 external displays are supported alongside the built-in panel: HDMI up to 8K 60 Hz, USB-C up to 4K 60 Hz. Both USB-C ports accept 95–100 W USB-PD charging; Lenovo’s 140 W USB-C protocol works only with its own adapter. There is no wired Ethernet.
