The integration of NVIDIA DLSS 4 makes it possible to increase frame rates while delivering razor-sharp images.
Desktop-like features on the go
Despite its compact design, the Blade offers 18 features usually only found on desktop systems. With a total power output of 280W TPP and an advanced cooling system that includes a vapor-cooled chamber and a 3-fan system, the device stays cool even under heavy load. The redesigned keyboard offers 35% increased key travel for a more comfortable typing experience and features a 10-key numeric keypad and dual LED backlighting per key.

The six-speaker system with THX™ Spatial Audio delivers immersive surround sound, while the 5MP camera with Windows Hello and privacy screen enables clear video calls.
