This is more than a gaming notebook; it’s a modular, adaptable platform that grows with your needs and pushes the boundaries of what a mobile PC can be.
- Performance reimagined: equipped with the Intel Core i9-9980HK (9th Gen) and a massive 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, the Mothership handles triple-A titles, VR, 4K media editing, and heavy multitasking with ease. Expect rapid game launches, smooth frame rates, and responsive creative workloads even when you're streaming, live editing, or running multiple applications side by side. The combination of a high-end CPU and abundant memory ensures that complex scenes, large datasets, and virtualization tasks stay snappy, making this machine a true desktop-class powerhouse in a portable form factor.
- Massive storage with speed: a colossal 5 TB PCIe NVMe SSD gives you room to install an extensive game library, professional software suites, and high-resolution media without compromise. Rapid boot times, near-instant game loading, and swift file transfers mean you can focus on winning the match or delivering a project rather than chasing space or waiting for assets to load. The generous storage also reduces the need for external drives during travel, keeping your setup streamlined and efficient.
- Stunning, immersive display: the 17.3-inch Full HD panel delivers sharp imagery, vibrant colors, and wide viewing angles, providing an engaging gaming and media experience. The large screen real estate is ideal for split-screen multitasking, ergonomic layouts, and detailed map/navigation during intense sessions. While gaming visuals pop, the display remains comfortable for long sessions, enabling you to stay in the action without eye strain.
- Detachable, versatile design: the standout feature is the detachable keyboard that allows you to switch between laptop mode and a tablet-like experience. The standing design elevates the main unit for improved airflow and better ergonomics, while the docked keyboard can double as a traditional input device or be set aside when you want more space for motion or presentation work. This flexibility makes it a true all-in-one solution for both on-the-go gaming and stationary productivity setups.
- Intelligent cooling and customization: a sophisticated cooling architecture paired with software control provides optimized thermal performance and acoustic management. Users can tailor fan profiles, power modes, and performance presets to match the task—whether you’re chasing a maximum frame rate in game mode or prioritizing quiet operation during long editing sessions. The result is sustained performance with controlled thermals and a comfortable, immersive gaming experience.
