Release year20242023
ProcessorIntel Core i7-13650HX; 14 cores (6 P + 8 E), 20 threads, up to 4.9 GHz

HX processors are high-power mobile chips; sustained power and fan noise depend on Lenovo’s power modes.

Lenovo
AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS; 8 cores / 16 threads; up to 5.2 GHz; 16 MB L3 cache

The chip also includes Radeon 780M integrated graphics.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; 115 W TGP with the 230 W adapter, 105 W with the 170 W adapter

TGP is the sustained power limit given to the GPU; on the same GPU a higher TGP usually means higher gaming performance. Lenovo ties TGP on this platform to the wattage of the bundled adapter.

Lenovo
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2300 MHz; 125 W (100 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

2300 MHz is the 2250 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz ASUS overclock; ASUS says it measured this with FurMark in a 25 °C lab. The graphics chip is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
Memory24 GB DDR5-4800 (2 × 12 GB SODIMM); two slots, up to 32 GB

Memory is not soldered; both slots come filled, so an upgrade means replacing both modules. The 32 GB limit is Lenovo’s platform statement.

Lenovo
16 GB DDR5 (soldered on board); 1 × DDR5 SO-DIMM slot; up to 32 GB

Memory can be increased by fitting a module in the SO-DIMM slot alongside the soldered memory.

ASUS
Storage1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 NVMe QLC SSD; two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

The second M.2 slot allows an extra SSD. QLC flash can slow down sooner than TLC during long, large writes.

Lenovo
512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 1 × M.2 slot

With a single M.2 slot, capacity is increased by replacing the SSD with a larger one.

ASUS
Display15.6-inch FHD (1920 × 1080) IPS, 144 Hz, 300 nits, 100% sRGB, anti-glare; NVIDIA G-SYNC

144 Hz shows smooth motion up to 144 frames per second in games; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing.

Lenovo
14-inch QHD+ (2560 × 1600, 16:10); IPS-level, anti-glare; 165 Hz; 3 ms; DCI-P3 100%; Pantone Validated

DCI-P3 100% covers the cinema colour space; Pantone Validated means colour accuracy was checked at the factory. This SKU does not have the mini LED Nebula HDR display.

ASUS
Ports1 × USB-C 10 Gbps (USB PD 65–100 W input, DisplayPort 1.4); 3 × USB-A 5 Gbps; HDMI 2.1; RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet; 3.5 mm headphone/mic

Charging over USB-C works, but 140 W input needs Lenovo’s own adapter; the slim-tip port remains the main power input for gaming. There is no Thunderbolt or USB4.

Lenovo
1 × USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, 40 Gbit/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); 3.5 mm audio jack

There is no Ethernet port.

ASUS
WirelessWi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 2x2; Bluetooth 5.2 LenovoWi‑Fi 6E (triple band, 2 × 2); Bluetooth 5.2 ASUS
Battery and adapter60 Wh lithium-ion; up to 50% in 30 minutes with Rapid Charge Pro; 170 W or 230 W slim-tip adapter

Lenovo rates it at 4.1 hours in MobileMark 25 and 5.6 hours of local 1080p video at 150 nits.
