It has a 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD which ensures some real fast boot up / loading times. For additional storage, it does have a 1TB 5400RPM SSHD. With all of this firepower being packed, it is cooled with the HyperCool Pro system consisting of three heatsinks and two fans. The camouflage and Kevlar textures adorned on the chassis gives it added durability while also making it look pretty cool.

On the network side of things, it includes the ROG RangeBoost technology, which is used to optimize antennas to extend Wi-Fi range, and 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi which uses faster frequencies which can lead to speeds of up to 1.73Gbps. Of course, that speed is also very much dependent on your router.
