Release year20242024
ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 32 threads, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s actual limit is set by ASUS’s operating mode.

ASUS
AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS: 8 cores, 16 threads, 3.8 GHz, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; AMD XDNA NPU up to 16 TOPS

The NPU is a dedicated unit for running some Windows AI features without loading the CPU or GPU. ASUS also sells this chassis in Ryzen 9 8945H SKUs.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2330 MHz at 175 W (150 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

NVIDIA gives a 60–150 W subsystem power range for this GPU; the 175 W figure includes the 25 W added by Dynamic Boost when CPU load is low. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

ASUS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; 1940 MHz at 140 W (1890 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. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4060.

ASUS
Display16-inch ROG Nebula HDR Mini LED; 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, 3 ms; DCI-P3 100%, anti-glare surface, G-SYNC, Pantone Validated

The Mini LED backlight dims in zones; Notebookcheck counted 2,048 dimming zones on its test unit. The display supports Dolby Vision HDR.

ASUS
15.6-inch Full HD (1920 × 1080) 16:9, anti-glare; 144 Hz; 100% sRGB, 72% NTSC, 75.35% Adobe; G-Sync

144 Hz shows motion smoothly when games reach up to 144 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% sRGB suits web and game content; it is not a wide-gamut panel.

Graphics switchingMUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to reduce latency in games; Advanced Optimus can make this switch without a restart.

ASUS
MUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut game latency; Advanced Optimus can switch without a restart.

ASUS
Memory64 GB (2 × 32 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 64 GB

Both slots come filled in this configuration; upgrading memory means replacing the modules.

ASUS
DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, two slots, dual channel; up to 64 GB (2 × 8 GB or 2 × 16 GB depending on SKU)

The modules are not soldered; going higher means replacing the installed modules. ASUS says memory speed varies by CPU.

ASUS
Storage2 TB + 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (RAID 0); 2 × M.2 slots

RAID 0 combines the two drives into one volume; speed goes up, but if one drive fails all data can be lost.

ASUS
512 GB or 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (by SKU); two M.2 PCIe slots in total

ASUS notes that only single-sided SSDs fit the M.2 slot because of components on the motherboard.

Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, G-SYNC, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × 2.5G LAN, 1 × 3.5 mm audio jack

According to Notebookcheck the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept charging; USB-C charging goes through the other Type-C port at up to 100 W. The LAN port does not support PoE, and there is no SD card reader.

ASUS
1 × USB4 Type-C (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 1 Type-A (5 Gbit/s), 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45, 3.5 mm audio

The USB4 port provides 40 Gbit/s data and video out; G-SYNC is listed only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. The RJ45 port does not support PoE.
