On the graphics front, it incorporates the Radeon 890M with 16 CUs, powered by AMD’s XDNA 2, enabling the NPU on the HX 370 to hit up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.
The device sports a vibrant 10.95-inch 120 Hz LTPS panel, likely an IPS, with a striking 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution. Its display can reproduce 138% of the sRGB color space and offers a bright 540-nit experience.
