  • Predator Helios 16- 16" 240Hz Gaming Laptop WQXGA– Intel i9-13900HX with 16GB memory– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080– 1TB SSD

Q: Is there one 16gb DDR5 memory stick or two memory sticks of 8gb DDR5 and also is there an additional SSD slot ?

A: It is one stick of 16gb ddr5 on my machine, but I am not sure if that’s true for all machines. I upgraded to 64gb with two sticks of 32gb ddr5. Yes there’s an additional NVME slot so I added a 4tb M.2 2280 drive to my laptop, without formatting a new copy of Windows. My new drive is additional storage, not replacing the original OS hard drive.

Q: I am not understanding the screen specifications....LED panel or not? Conflicting specs presented. The FEATURES section says: WQXGA LED panel 240 Hz The SPECIFICATIONS section says: Screen type: IPS Does this unit have an LED display? or is it IPS?

A: IPS is a display type. WQXGA is a display resolution. Apples and oranges. IPS stands for in-plane switching and is a type of panel technology for LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors. This had an ISP LED monitor with WQXGA resolution 240hz 3ms. I own one and it is amazing at full settings for gaming
