Release year20242023
ProcessorAMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (8 cores / 16 threads, 4.0 GHz, up to 5.2 GHz, 24 MB cache, 16 TOPS XDNA NPU)

24 MB is 8 MB of L2 plus 16 MB of L3 cache. The processor’s integrated Radeon 780M graphics handles light work when Advanced Optimus is active.

ASUS		Intel Core i9-13980HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.6 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s cooling determines the real sustained power.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1655 MHz; 90 W (65 W TGP + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

1655 MHz is the 1605 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz ASUS overclock. The 90 W ceiling is lower than RTX 4070 configurations in large 16–18-inch laptops and was chosen for the thin chassis. The GPU cannot be upgraded.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2420 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

ASUS adds a 50 MHz factory overclock to NVIDIA’s 2370 MHz. 115 W is the card’s sustained limit; Dynamic Boost shifts 25 W to the GPU when the CPU load is low. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
GPU switchingMUX Switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU; Advanced Optimus does this switch without a restart.

Display14-inch 3K OLED; 2880 × 1800 (16:10); 120 Hz; 0.2 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync and Adaptive-Sync; anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR) surface; Pantone Validated

Each OLED pixel makes its own light, so blacks are fully dark; leaving static images on screen for long periods raises the risk of image retention.

ASUS		ROG Nebula: 16-inch QHD+ 16:10 (2560 × 1600), IPS-level, anti-glare; 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated

G-Sync matches the display refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 means it covers the cinema colour space; Pantone validation refers to factory colour calibration.

ASUS
Memory32 GB LPDDR5X-6400 on board; not expandable

Memory cannot be increased later, so the amount should be chosen at purchase.

ASUS		32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 32 GB, dual channel

The modules are replaceable, but ASUS gives 32 GB as the maximum for this model; both slots come filled.

ASUS
Storage1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 1 × M.2 slot

There is a single M.2 slot, so more capacity means replacing the existing SSD with a larger one.

ASUS		2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots

The second M.2 slot is for an additional SSD.

ASUS
Ports1 × USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort, Power Delivery, 40 Gb/s); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1 FRL; microSD (UHS-II) card reader; 3.5 mm combo audio jack

There is no wired Ethernet port; independent testing listed this and the lack of Wi-Fi 7 as drawbacks.

ASUS		1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC, 10 Gbps), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45 LAN, 1 × 3.5 mm audio jack

For G-SYNC on an external monitor use the USB‑C port; on this SKU the Thunderbolt 4 port is not listed with G-SYNC. The 2.5G LAN of the RTX 4080 models is not on this model.

Battery and power73 Wh 4-cell lithium-ion battery; 180 W adapter; plus a 100 W USB-C adapter

On battery the GPU runs at a lower limit; full performance needs the 180 W adapter.

ASUS		90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; ø6.0 mm 280 W adapter; ASUS also lists a 100 W USB‑C adapter

Full GPU and CPU power needs the 280 W adapter. ASUS says whether adapters are included varies by country and model.
