ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 32 threads, 2.2 GHz, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

P-cores handle games and single-threaded loads, E-cores take background and multi-core work.

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.

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, 16 GB GDDR6; 2090 MHz ROG Boost at 175 W (2040 MHz boost + 50 MHz OC; 150 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

175 W is the maximum GPU power when Dynamic Boost borrows budget from the CPU; the base sits at the top of NVIDIA’s 80–150 W range for this GPU. The laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4090.

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.

Display18-inch ROG Nebula HDR, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) Mini LED; 240 Hz, 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; anti-glare; G-Sync; Pantone Validated

Mini LED backlighting dims and lights zones behind the LCD so dark areas look deeper in HDR. 240 Hz means motion at up to 240 frames per second in suitable games; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 covers the cinema colour space.

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

ASUS
Memory2 × 32 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM (64 GB), dual channel; up to 64 GB

Both slots are populated; the modules are not soldered. ASUS notes memory speed can vary with the CPU.

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); two M.2 PCIe slots (both used)

RAID 0 joins the two SSDs into one drive for speed and capacity; if one SSD fails, all data in the array can be lost. ASUS says only single-sided SSDs are supported because of components near the M.2 slot.

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.

Battery and power90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 330 W AC adapter (20 V, 16.5 A, ø6.0 mm) and 100 W USB-C adapter

Full performance needs the 330 W adapter; the 100 W USB-C adapter is for light use and charging on the go. ASUS says the battery can reach 50% in 30 minutes with the proper adapter while the laptop is shut down. Bundled adapters can vary by country.
