80 is the field average. A part counts as 80 + (average − 80) × N ÷ (N + 1), where N is its number of sources. One source counts half of the gap from 80. No sources count as 80.

Notes

Cheap, socketed way to get up to 96 GB of memory for a Core Ultra 9 285H, with OCuLink and dual 2.5 GbE, but DDR5-5600 gives only about 90 GB/s and the Arc 140T is slow for big models. Notebookcheck calls the cooling audible under full load.

Dimensions: TechRadar's text says 103 x 98 x 32 mm but its own spec table and the maker page say 154 x 151 x 73.6 mm (used). Max memory: maker page says 128 GB and DDR5-6400 support, the candidate list says 96 GB. Price: TechRadar $819.99, Notebookcheck EUR 999 (64 GB / 1 TB, Aug 2025), maker EU EUR 749.99 barebone; no 96 GB build is sold. Noise: Notebookcheck calls the fans audible under load, blog.lon.tv calls them quiet; neither gives dB. Intel's Qwen3-30B-A3B speed run on its own 285H reference system was dropped. Notebookcheck's 75% was read from a search excerpt of the full review. The Amazon.nl rating was read from a search-result excerpt. GPU memory uses the 57% share Intel documents; press figures for higher shares are in the GPU memory note.
