Release year20252025
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 7 255HX; 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficiency), 20 threads, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB Intel Smart Cache

This configuration also includes the Intel AI Boost NPU rated at up to 13 TOPS; the NPU is designed to run AI tasks at lower power than the graphics card.

Lenovo		Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX (24 cores / 24 threads) ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 2497 MHz boost, 115 W TGP, 572 AI TOPS

TGP is the power limit the graphics chip can use in this laptop; the same GPU runs slower in lower-powered chassis. The graphics chip is soldered and cannot be replaced. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

Lenovo		NVIDIA 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
Display16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED, 16:10; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1100 nits HDR peak, 100% DCI-P3, 1,000,000:1 contrast, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 1000, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC

165 Hz means the panel can show up to 165 frames per second; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 1100 nits is a peak value for small areas in HDR content; everyday SDR brightness is 500 nits. The panel is factory-calibrated with X-Rite and is not a touchscreen.

Lenovo		16-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
Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, dual-channel

Memory is not soldered. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested for this platform is 32 GB; both slots are filled from the factory, so an upgrade means replacing the modules.

Lenovo		DDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots

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

ASUS
Storage1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD; 2 × M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

The slots are 2280-length, so a second SSD can be added. PCIe 4.0 x4 offers a theoretical 8 GB/s of bandwidth; actual speed depends on the installed SSD.

Lenovo		Two 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
Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40 Gbps USB-C (USB PD 95–100 W, DisplayPort 2.1), 1 × USB-C 10 Gbps (USB PD 95–100 W, DisplayPort 2.1), 2 × USB-A 5 Gbps (one always on), 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K 60 Hz), SD card reader, 3.5 mm headset jack, slim-tip power input

Up to 3 external displays are supported alongside the built-in panel: HDMI up to 8K 60 Hz, USB-C up to 4K 60 Hz. Both USB-C ports accept 95–100 W USB-PD charging; Lenovo’s 140 W USB-C protocol works only with its own adapter. There is no wired Ethernet.

Lenovo		On 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
WirelessWi-Fi 7 (802.11be) 2 × 2, Bluetooth 5.4; M.2 card

The wireless card sits in an M.2 slot and is not soldered.

Lenovo		Wi-Fi 7 (2 × 2, tri-band); Bluetooth 5.4 ASUS
Battery and power84 Wh lithium-ion; 245 W slim-tip adapter (3-pin), Rapid Charge Pro

Lenovo rates battery life at 3.98 hours in MobileMark 30 and 7.18 hours in local 1080p video playback. Rapid Charge Pro charges to about 50% in 30 minutes.

Lenovo		90 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
Keyboard and touchpadPer-key RGB backlit 6-row keyboard, numeric keypad, 1.6 mm key travel, Copilot key; 75 × 120 mm buttonless glass-surface touchpad

This model has a bilingual French/English keyboard layout.

GPU switching—MUX 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.

ASUS
Cooling—End-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.
