  • Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX @ 5.4GHz (24 cores)
  • 32GB DDR5

  • Windows 11 x64
  • 1 year warranty


CPU:

Core Ultra 9 275HX - 24 cores at 5.4GHz


RAM:

32GB is sufficient for most users.

For hard-core composers, the Platinum Laptop allows up to 192GB.


OS drive:

The Platinum Laptop uses a M.2 Ultra NVMe SSD for maximum performance.

 

Audio drive:

Since M.2 SSDs are now about the same cost as SATA SSDs, we're recommending M.2 SSD for an Audio drive. 

Yes, speed-wise it's a bit overkill... but it makes sense to get the significantly faster drive (for the same cost).


Samples drive:

Disk-streaming sample libraries is where a SSD really shines.

M.2 Ultra SSDs use 4 PCIe lanes and sustain 3200-7000MB/Sec (17-35 times the speed of conventional HD).

If pushing the limits with disk-streaming sample libraries, M.2 Ultra will yield maximum polyphony.


Thunderbolt:

On the PC, we now have complete "PCIe via Thunderbolt" support.

You must be running an up-to-date install of Win11 and have a motherboard that provides Thunderbolt-5 via USB-C port.

Antelope, RME, MOTU, Presonus, and UA have full "PCIe via Thunderbolt" drivers available. 


Operating System:

Many have been waiting for that compelling reason to move to Win11.  With recent builds of Win10, Microsoft has broken the ability to disable CPU core parking.  If you're running a current generation CPU, this is that compelling reason.  For maximum performance (especially at low latency), we need CPU core parking fully disabled. Win11 allows us to fully disable CPU core parking.

All major audio software/hardware is now working well with Windows 11.

"Pro" version has Group Policy Editor (easy to shut down OneDrive, Cortana, etc)... and can fully disable all automatic updates.

This is why we no longer offer Win10 for current generation hardware.
