Release year20252024
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), up to 5.4 GHz on P-cores

The HX series is a desktop-class laptop processor that runs at high sustained power; its Intel AI Boost NPU offers up to 13 TOPS of AI processing.

Lenovo		Intel 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
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 16 GB GDDR7; 175 W TGP; 2287 MHz boost

TGP is the maximum power the graphics card can draw; 175 W is the highest tier for this GPU. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded. The laptop RTX 5080 is not the same as the desktop RTX 5080.

Lenovo		NVIDIA 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
Display16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED, glossy, 240 Hz; DisplayHDR True Black 1000; 100% DCI-P3

Typical 500 nits SDR and 1,100 nits peak HDR; Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC and X-Rite factory calibration. TÜV Rheinland low blue light and flicker-free certified. The glossy finish boosts contrast but can reflect in bright rooms.

Lenovo		18-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
Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-6400 SO-DIMM

The two SO-DIMM slots run in dual channel; Lenovo supports up to 64 GB on the platform.

Lenovo		2 × 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
Storage1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 SSD (TLC)

The platform has two M.2 slots, one PCIe 5.0 x4 and one PCIe 4.0 x4, so a second SSD can be added. There is no card reader.

Lenovo		2 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
Ports1 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 (40 Gb/s, DisplayPort 2.1); 1 × USB-C 10 Gb/s (PD 95–100 W, DisplayPort 2.1); 3 × USB-A (one 10 Gb/s); HDMI 2.1; 2.5 GbE RJ45; 3.5 mm jack

HDMI 2.1 outputs up to 8K at 60 Hz, and four displays including the built-in one can be driven. USB-C charging is limited to 95–100 W; full performance needs the 400 W adapter.

Lenovo		1 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbit/s, DisplayPort / G-SYNC), 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 × 2.5G LAN, 3.5 mm audio

Thunderbolt 4 can also connect an external GPU enclosure or dock. The RJ45 port does not support Power over Ethernet, only data.

ASUS
WirelessWi-Fi 7 (802.11be 2×2); Bluetooth 5.4 LenovoWi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) triple band 2×2, Bluetooth 5.2

Wi-Fi 6E can use the less congested 6 GHz band with a suitable router; ASUS notes the band may be unavailable in some countries.
