The Sirius 16 is decidedly aimed at Linux gaming or workstation use cases. Its 16.1 inches with a 2K resolution of 2560x1440, so it’s 16:9, better for gaming IMO than 16:10, but less good for other tasks.

It has a full aluminum chassis, an 80Wh battery, it can accommodate up to 96 gigs of RAM, 8 terabytes of PCIe 4 SSD, and it comes with USB 4, the latest HDMI 2.1 and Wifi 6E. But what matters is what’s inside, and that’s a Ryzen 7 7840HS, and a Radeon 7600M XT, with 8 gigs of DDR6 VRAM. The aluminum chassis really feels solid, and the whole laptop is pretty hefty, at 2.2 kilos, or 4.8 pounds.

The CPU is a Ryzen 7 7840HS, it’s 8 cores, 16 threads, running at a top speed of 5.1Ghz. In geekbench 6, it got 2640 in single core, and 12635 in multi core, so it’s more powerful than the i7 13700H I use daily on my own laptop.
