Getting set up is faster and easier so you can get right to work or exploring the Windows App Store games or a new version of Office. InstantGo quickly boots up or resumes Windows while enhancements help balance memory and processor resources for maximum efficiency and Battery Saver automatically conserves power. Windows 10 also offers more built-in security features improving protection against viruses, phishing, and malware.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX

Another great processor built on AMD’s Zen 3 Core Architecture. With 8 CPU cores and 16 threads, the Ryzen 9 5900HX offers a 3.3GHz base clock speed, and up to 4.6GHz max boost clock. It also boasts 16MB of L3 cache and 4MB of L2 cache, and 8 GPU cores. Features include, Display Port and HDMI™, and support for Windows 10 – 64-Bit Edition, RHEL x86 64-Bit, and Ubuntu x86 64-Bit.

Solid State Drive

More reliable and significantly faster than traditional spinning-platter hardrives, solid state drives work more like a large flash drive giving you quick access to your data. With no moving parts generating heat, solid state drives use less power and keep your system cooler which helps reduce component failure. Light weight and durable, solid state drives are often found in portable devices since they are less prone to travel damage and accidents like being dropped.

DDR4 RAM

Double Data Rate, which is the DDR in DDR4, tells us something about the rate of data transfer in a given type of memory. The first number, as in DDR4, tells us the generation of the memory. DDR3 was the previous generation, DDR4 is the current generation. DDR4 offers faster data transfer rates than its predecessor. The second numeric value as inDDR4-1600- or DDR4-2666 is the speed. Memory type and speed must be matched to the requirements of your computer.

DDR4 has improved function compared with DDR3, in that it offers faster data transfer rates, It has more memory banks giving it increased capacity. It also requires less energy so it is more power efficient. The more capacity and the faster the speed, the better your memory is able to keep up with today’s multi-core processors.

DDR form factors designate what they are used for. The DIMM form factor is used in desktop systems while the SO-DIMM form factor is used for laptops and all-in-one computers because of their slim profile.

NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 3070

Graphics technology just keeps getting better and that includes the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070.
Built on Ampere architecture, the 3070 delivers impressive increased throughput in cores and tensor cores, dramatically outperforming cards from its two predecessors.

The RTX 3070 also offers advanced AI rendering with impeccable image quality for an exceptional visual experience.
It features real-time ray tracing for masterful realism. Specs include 8 GB GDDR6 memory, and 1.73GHz boost clock.
The RTX 3070 also features NVIDIA Ansel so you can capture 360 degree HD in-game highlights and stream them live or share them as videos or still images. NVIDIA Reflex gives you the most responsiveness and the lowest latency. And it’s packed with other great features like, DirectX 12 Ultimate, NVIDIA G-Sync with refresh rates up to 360Hz, game-ready drivers, and more.

Bluetooth® 5.1

Along with improvements to reliability and faster connections, Bluetooth 5.1 can now assess the direction your device signal is coming from. Using that information in addition to the proximity or distance of your signal, your device can be tracked to its precise location; super handy if your device gets lost. Of course, Bluetooth 5.1 continues to offer secure transmission for computers, mobile devices, and a host of other wireless technologies such as digital assistants, headsets, home audio equipment, and IoT devices.
