ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA607NUG-BH73-CB (Ryzen 7 7445HS, RTX 4050) / ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) G614JIR-N4107X

HX-series chips are laptop processors that run at high power limits for gaming and content creation; in multi-core work the chassis cooling decides the result.

140 W is the highest total power the GPU can draw: 115 W base power plus 25 W of Dynamic Boost shifted over when the processor is lightly loaded. The 2420 MHz figure is the 2370 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz factory overclock.

140 W is the maximum GPU power when Dynamic Boost borrows budget from the CPU: 25 W is added to the sustained 115 W depending on load balance. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4070.

The MUX switch connects the internal display straight to the NVIDIA GPU so games skip the integrated graphics; Advanced Optimus makes that switch automatically without a restart.

144 Hz means the panel can refresh 144 times a second, so motion looks smoother when the game frame rate keeps up. 45% NTSC is a narrow colour gamut: the FA607PV panel in the same family is listed at 100% sRGB.

240 Hz makes motion smoother when a game approaches 240 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 means a wide gamut covering the cinema colour space; Pantone validation refers to factory colour calibration.

Memory is not soldered: it sits in two SO-DIMM slots and can be swapped for up to 64 GB. ASUS notes the actual memory speed depends on what the processor supports.

Both slots are populated and ASUS lists 32 GB as the maximum for this model; the modules are not soldered. ASUS notes memory speed varies by CPU.

According to ASUS, on Ryzen 7 7445HS configurations the second SSD slot offers restricted bandwidth because of motherboard limits; components near the slot also mean only single-sided SSDs are supported.

ASUS counts two M.2 PCIe slots including the used one; a second SSD can go in the other slot.

Charging over USB-C is listed only on the 10 Gbit/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 port; the USB4 port is for display and data. The RJ45 port does not support PoE.

ASUS lists G-SYNC only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, which also accepts charging from the 100 W USB-C adapter. HDMI 2.1 FRL allows high refresh rates at high resolution on compatible TVs and monitors.

ASUS notes the Bluetooth version may vary with operating system and driver support.

Wi-Fi 6E can use the 6 GHz band, subject to national regulation and Windows 11 driver support.

According to ASUS, the battery reaches 50% in 30 minutes with the proper adapter while the laptop is shut down. Whether the adapter is included can vary by country.

ASUS lists a 100 W USB-C adapter in the box as well; the 280 W brick is for full performance. Included adapters and accessories can vary by country.

ASUS says the drivers for this laptop are only compatible with Windows 11 version 24H2 or later.

The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut latency and performance loss in games; Advanced Optimus can switch without a restart.

ASUS says included accessories vary by country.
