A lighter, more affordable Eluktronics built on AMD's Ryzen 9 8945HX with an RTX 5070 capped at 100 W (+15 W Dynamic Boost). At 2.28 kg with a resin (polycarbonate) chassis it trades premium materials for portability and a $1,499 RTX 5060 starting price, and it forgoes Thunderbolt (USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 only) and Wi-Fi 7. Like its sibling, it had no independent review at research time.
