There is a 2.5 GHz land port here. An HDMI 2.1 port whose output is from our RTX 5080. Two Thunderbolt 5 ports are available here. And Thunderbolt 5 has its own advantage.
Fast speed data transfer between two devices
You can connect large accessories externally. You can connect external GPUs. You can transfer fast speed data between two devices through Thunderbolt Share. And these ports support PD 3.1. That means you can charge this laptop with a 140 W PD charger. We used a 100 W one. It was working even with that.
If you don’t want to carry a heavy charger around and want to do normal tasks, want to do casual productivity, then you can do it on a PD charger as well. But peak performance will be available only by using 380 W. And from these ports you can also take display output, whose output is available from RTX 5080 from both ports.
In Army Grade Software, you get GPU Preference here
Lastly, we will also get a combo of headphone mic jack. And Mac switch will be available. In Army Grade Software, you get GPU Preference here. In which you will get output from Ultimate i.e. dedicated GPU for better performance of the display but battery backup decreases. Then we also have Eco mode in which your DGPU will be turned off completely.
If you need a lot of battery backup. You are doing office work or playing a game. If you are doing some task in which the laptop needs a strong backup, then turn on this mode. Apart from this, an optimized mode is also available, in which DGPU will be activated only when the system demands it. Otherwise the system will run on DGPU only.

The keyboard here is not full size
After that comes the keyboard. This is a good Fix Car series. You get a premium keyboard here. The typing experience is good. Although this laptop is of 16 inches size. But the keyboard here is not full size. Its numpad is inside the trackpad itself. So here there is a num lock above the trackpad. If you hold it down, our numpad appears here. You can use it. And then from here you can hold it down and turn it off. And you get an RGB keyboard, which you can customize.
You can also sync the RGB of the entire laptop. Of the keyboard, of the strip below or of the logo at the back. And the trackpad here is quite good. It is a fully clickable trackpad. And brother, it is very smooth to use. I am giving this special call out because the actual feeling of its trackpad is very nice compared to many other laptops.
There are five programmable keys on the keyboard, from M1 to M5, which are basically your macros. However, these have their own symbols on them as well. Like volume, mute. But if you want to record a Mac, specifically for gaming or anything else, you can record any combination of keys or something on it. Explore it in Armoric Crate software if you buy a laptop.
