Does this version have the Mini LED? It stated LED in the description, but I'd really love to know.

EDIT: Looks like it does not, that's the Predator 18.

Beware, this card is normally rated to draw up to 320W, nearly 2x what is allowed by this laptop. That means this card is severely undervolted and consequently likely severely underclocked.

Additionally, Windows 11 completely breaks undervolting if you use WSL v2 (if you don't know what that is, you're not using it, don't worry), and there's not really any way of knowing how that affects this specific laptop without testing it. At the very least, it likely means the card will run very hot and be prone to overheating.

Laptop GPUs are not equivalent to their desktop counterparts... It's not that they are stuffing a desktop GPU into a laptop and underpowering it, it's a completely different item in the laptop, even if it has the same name.

Confusing, but no signs of them changing it.
