Analysis derived from public PSREF specifications

Editorial Notes

The 16-inch AMD variant trades portability for a larger display and an 84 Wh battery — one of the largest in any 16-inch consumer laptop. The Ryzen 7 8845HS delivers strong sustained performance, and the 2.8K 120 Hz OLED panel is a highlight at this price tier. An excellent desk-and-couch machine for creators who occasionally travel.

Swiss Market

Available at Digitec and Brack in the CHF 1300–1700 range. The large battery makes it a popular choice for Swiss professionals who work from cafés and client sites without easy access to power.
