Mech-16 – Frequently Asked Questions
Yep, fully. Choose your CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, display, and cooling. Our configurator lets you build the perfect rig for your gaming or creative setup.
Absolutely. With up to 96GB DDR5 RAM, RTX 5090 graphics, and a Mini-LED display with 100% DCI-P3, it’s a beast for video editing, 3D rendering, and multitasking.
Go Intel if you need Thunderbolt™ 4 for fast external drives or docks. Pick AMD if you want Mini DisplayPort for multiple monitor setups. Both smash through heavy workloads.
Yes. The Mech-16 has two M.2 slots and supports up to 8TB of blazing-fast PCIe NVMe storage. Just make sure you’re comfy opening up the chassis or let us do it for you.
You can. At checkout, we offer flexible finance options, so you can spread the cost and still get the performance you need right now.
It does! Most major distros like Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, and Fedora run well. We recommend checking GPU driver support and power management settings for your distro of choice.
Mate, it can run Crysis, Crysis Remastered, and whatever else Crytek throws at it. This thing eats polygons for breakfast.
The RTX 5090 config can sustain up to 175W TGP, pushing performance as close to a desktop as you’ll find in a laptop chassis.
No, it doesn't. The 5080/5090 models are paired with a high refresh Mini-LED panel. Delivering ultra-smooth visuals, ideal for competitive gaming and cinematic edits.
Yes, the Intel model supports Thunderbolt™ 4. USB-C charging is available on select configs up to 100W, but for full performance, we recommend using the main power adapter.
Make sure your drivers are up to date (we’ll help), keep vents clear, and tweak performance profiles in BIOS or with our tuning tools. Oh, and plug it in when gaming, always.
All Utopia laptops come with our UK-backed warranty and lifetime support. Built by hand in Scotland, supported by real humans, not bots.

All Utopia laptops feature high-colour accurate panels with fast refresh rates. Experience fluid gaming and crisp visuals.
Processor
Thermal Compound
Thermal compound sits between your processor and cooler to transfer heat more efficiently, keeping your processor as cool as possible during operation. We recommend choosing an upgraded thermal compound as they transfer heat faster, and for longer.
RAM
Memory allows your PC to perform tasks in real-time. There are two factors in choosing memory: capacity, and speed. Memory capacity will have the largest impact on your computer's ability to perform multiple tasks at once, whereas speed will affect its ability to execute individual tasks effectively. Memory is available in both RGB and non-RGB variants. The following memory options are compatible with your motherboard selection.
Windows Drive
Your system requires at least one drive. The team at Utopia recommend M.2 NVMe SSDs, as they are extremely fast modern storage solutions that can dramatically reduce loading times in applications and games. TOP TIP: We will install Windows on this drive unless told otherwise.
SSD Slot 2
Add in some optional secondary storage that is ideal for storing projects and running games from.
Graphics Card
Your graphics card will have the largest effect on gaming performance, including frame rate, visual fidelity, and effects. Choosing the right graphics card for your system depends on multiple factors including your monitor's resolution and refresh rate, budget, desired features, and the games you play. If you plan on using your system for creative applications like 3D Rendering and Adobe, then getting the best card for your workflow is key.
