Customers in the US, Canada, Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, Austria, Ireland, and Australia can now place their orders for this highly upgradeable, customizable laptop that promises to be a game-changer in the market.
Specifications
Starting at $1,399, the base DIY Edition systems come with a Ryzen 7 7840HS processor that can boost up to 5.1GHz, while top-spec machines feature the Ryzen 9 7940HS with a 5.2 GHz boost. Graphics duties are handled by the onboard Radeon 780M, but you can also purchase a Graphics Module for more graphics power.
The first available Graphics Module is the Radeon RX 7700S with 8GB of GDDR6 and a max TGP of 100 watts. Naturally, this will affect the battery life, but it’ll be worth it for the extra performance.
