The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting system, here of the RGB type, which you simply activate whenever you need to better discern your keys.
SteelSeries participated in its design so that it is adapted to the habits of players.

The screen frequency of 240Hz, significantly higher than the standard 60Hz, will delight gamers because it provides much better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life.

Players can calmly play their favorite titles at a beautiful level of detail, including the most recent and intensive 3D resources.
Because it features nothing more and nothing less than the most powerful mobile graphics card on the market today, the dedicated GeForce RTX 4090 16 GB.

Creative people will also appreciate the performance of the GeForce RTX 4090 if they use software that takes advantage of GPU computing power. Because under the latter, the GeForce RTX 4090 accelerates processing.

Scalability is essential here since an M.2 slot is free to insert a second SSD if necessary.
