ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 275HX (24 cores / 24 threads) ASUSAMD 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
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU; 12 GB GDDR7; ROG Boost 1565 MHz; 140 W (115 W TGP + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the maximum total graphics power; the 25 W Dynamic Boost portion is shifted to the GPU when processor load is low. Real power in games varies with profile and temperature.

ASUS
NVIDIA 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
GPU switchingMUX switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to cut latency in games; Advanced Optimus makes that switch without a restart.

MUX 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.

ASUS
MemoryDDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots

Memory is socketed, so it can be upgraded later; the shipped capacity varies by SKU.

ASUS
32 GB LPDDR5X-6400 on board; not expandable

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

ASUS
StorageTwo M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD slots

The shipped SSD capacity varies by SKU; the second slot can be used to add a drive later.

ASUS
1 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
Display16-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600) IPS-level panel; 240 Hz; 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync

ASUS also lists FHD+ 165 Hz and 300 Hz panel options in the family; check the panel of the specific SKU being bought.

ASUS
14-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
PortsOn all versions 3 × USB-A 10 Gb/s, HDMI 2.1 FRL, 3.5 mm audio jack; plus layout A: USB-C 10 Gb/s (DisplayPort and charging), Thunderbolt 4, RJ45 Ethernet; layout B: 2 × Thunderbolt 5, 2.5G Ethernet

Which layout ships depends on the SKU; ASUS’s table does not split this per model.

ASUS
1 × 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.

Battery and power90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 280 W or 380 W adapter; 100 W charging over USB-C

USB-C delivers at most 100 W, below what the 280 W or 380 W adapter supplies.

ASUS
73 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
CoolingEnd-to-end vapor chamber, three fans; liquid metal on the CPU, and on the GPU only on the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti versions

As this version has the RTX 5070 Ti, the GPU also gets liquid metal.
