ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

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.

ASUS		Intel Core i7-14700HX; 20 cores (8 P + 12 E), 28 threads, 33 MB cache, up to 5.5 GHz

The HX series is a high-power laptop processor; real performance depends on MSI’s power modes and cooling.

MSI
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; 2225 MHz at 140 W (2175 MHz boost + 50 MHz OC; 115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

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.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; boost up to 2115 MHz; 321 AI TOPS MSI
DisplayROG Nebula Display: 16-inch, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), IPS-level, anti-glare; 240 Hz, 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated

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.

ASUS		16-inch QHD+ (2560 × 1600), 240 Hz, IPS-level panel, 100% DCI-P3 (typical)

The 16:10 ratio gives more vertical space at the same width; 240 Hz shows motion more smoothly in high-frame-rate games.

MSI
Graphics switchingMUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

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		—
Memory32 GB: 2 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, dual channel; up to 32 GB

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.

ASUS		16 GB (2 × 8 GB) DDR5-5600; 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB

Memory is not soldered; capacity can be raised by replacing the two modules.

MSI
Storage2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots in total

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

ASUS		1 TB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4); 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 and 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5-compatible slot

The second slot allows an extra SSD; the Gen5-compatible slot accepts faster new-generation SSDs.

MSI
Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbit/s, DisplayPort), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbit/s, DisplayPort / power delivery / G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbit/s), 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45, 3.5 mm audio

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		3 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A; 1 × Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort, Power Delivery 3.0); 1 × HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); headphone/mic combo jack; Gigabit Ethernet

The Type-C port outputs video. Independent testing reports that the laptop cannot be charged over USB-C; the 200 W adapter is used for charging.
