What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.

Featuring 16GB of RAM, this computer is comfortable running lots of complex tasks at once, and you won't see any obvious lag or slowdown.

Solid state drive
Solid-state drives (SSD) give you the capacity to store your documents and media, while ensuring quicker and reliable access to your files and programs. SSDs are far faster than regular hard drives and ingeniously, they don't use moving parts to work, which makes them far more dependable and also quieter.

Immersive entertainment
The 17.3", Full HD, 300Hz display is designed to convey crisp and immersive images, and along with the built-in speakers featuring Dolby Atmos technology, the ROG STRIX G17 will provide an immersive gaming and multimedia experience.

GeForce RTX 3050Ti GPU
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3050Ti graphics processing unit will provide next-gen gaming performance, thanks to enhanced 2nd generation Ray Tracing Cores and 3rd generation Tensor Cores. You'll be able to play all the latest titles without worrying about the settings, whilst providing enough grunt for you to enjoy smooth, quality VR experiences (VR headset sold separately). The GeForce RTX 3050Ti is DirectX 12 Ultimate compatible.

DirectX 12 Ultimate
DirectX 12 Ultimate is the latest version of the API (written Q1 2021), and is able to take your games to a whole new level of realism, thanks to supporting ray tracing, mesh shaders, variable-rate shading, and sampler feedback.

Connecting your other devices
The Ethernet and USB ports allow for fast data transfer, whilst the HDMI port enables the option for dual-screen working or gaming (just connect a previously purchased monitor, then press the Windows button + P to select). Bluetooth can help to send data wirelessly between devices, such as headphones or printers.
