Intel’s HX processors can run at higher wattages, and have most commonly appeared in gaming laptops like the MSI GT77 Titan or the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 SE. However, other mobile workstations have supported these HX chips, such as the ThinkPad P16 or the Dell Elite Precision 7770 workstation.
To maximize performance, the laptop includes Nvidia Dynamic Boost 2.0, which helps juggle the power limits of the CPU and GPU. The ExpertBook B6 Flip is powered by a 90-watt-hour battery and is compatible with a 240-watt-hour adapter.
