It includes a graphite sheet, a small copper heat pipe, a boron nitride shield, a large vapor chamber, and another graphite sheet behind the panel. An optional external fan can provide an additional 20% improvement, reducing temperatures by up to 36ºC.
Design-wise, the rear features a Mini-LED lighting system customizable via software through a design of 341 LEDs, allowing for personalized and even animated logos. The device also has an IP68 certification, making it water and dust-resistant.
