ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) GA403UI / ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) GA403UI: GA403UI-QS101X variant (same hardware as QS100X): AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU (8 GB), 32 GB LPDDR5X, 1 TB SSD, Windows 11 Pro. The RTX 4060 GA403UV, the RTX 4050 GA403UU and the 2025 G14 are separate models.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X: GU605MI-QR194X: Core Ultra 9 185H, RTX 4070 Laptop GPU 8 GB (105 W = 85 W + 20 W Dynamic Boost), 32 GB LPDDR5X, 2 TB SSD, 240 Hz OLED, Windows 11 Pro; Platinum White in ASUS’s image. The GU605 series spans SKUs from the RTX 4050 to the 4090 and from the Core Ultra 7 155H to the Core Ultra 9 185H; not every GU605MI SKU has the same memory or display.

ProcessorAMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (8 cores / 16 threads, 4.0 GHz, up to 5.2 GHz, 24 MB cache, 16 TOPS XDNA NPU)

24 MB is 8 MB of L2 plus 16 MB of L3 cache. The processor’s integrated Radeon 780M graphics handles light work when Advanced Optimus is active.

ASUS
Intel Core Ultra 9 185H: 16 cores, 22 threads, 2.3 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 11 TOPS)

The NPU runs constant AI tasks such as background blur and noise suppression at low power instead of the CPU/GPU.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1655 MHz; 90 W (65 W TGP + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

1655 MHz is the 1605 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz ASUS overclock. The 90 W ceiling is lower than RTX 4070 configurations in large 16–18-inch laptops and was chosen for the thin chassis. The GPU cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1655 MHz at 105 W (85 W + 20 W Dynamic Boost)

Dynamic Boost shifts a 20 W share of power to the GPU when CPU load is low, so 105 W is a conditional ceiling rather than a constant level. In the same series RTX 4060 SKUs are listed at 100 W and RTX 4080/4090 SKUs at 115 W. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
GPU switchingMUX Switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU; Advanced Optimus does this switch without a restart.

Display14-inch 3K OLED; 2880 × 1800 (16:10); 120 Hz; 0.2 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync and Adaptive-Sync; anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR) surface; Pantone Validated

Each OLED pixel makes its own light, so blacks are fully dark; leaving static images on screen for long periods raises the risk of image retention.

ASUS
16-inch ROG Nebula OLED, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, 0.2 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated; anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR) coating

G-Sync matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate to reduce tearing. It is not a touchscreen. Some SKUs in the same series use an IPS-level panel.

ASUS
Memory32 GB LPDDR5X-6400 on board; not expandable

Memory cannot be increased later, so the amount should be chosen at purchase.

ASUS
32 GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz, soldered to the board; dual channel; not expandable

Because memory cannot be added later, capacity has to be chosen at purchase.

ASUS
Storage1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 1 × M.2 slot

There is a single M.2 slot, so more capacity means replacing the existing SSD with a larger one.

ASUS
2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 M.2 PCIe slots in total (including the one in use)

The second M.2 slot allows an additional SSD.

ASUS
Ports1 × USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort, Power Delivery, 40 Gb/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) card reader; 3.5 mm combo audio jack

There is no wired Ethernet port; independent testing listed this and the lack of Wi-Fi 7 as drawbacks.

ASUS
1 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gb/s, DisplayPort, charging); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, charging); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1 FRL; SD card reader (UHS-II, 312 MB/s); 3.5 mm combo audio

Both USB-C ports support external displays and charging; there is no Ethernet port.

ASUS
WirelessWi-Fi 6E (tri-band, 2 × 2); Bluetooth 5.2 ASUSWi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax, tri-band) 2×2; Bluetooth 5.2

ASUS notes that Bluetooth features may vary with the OS and drivers.

ASUS
Keyboard and camera1-zone RGB keyboard; 1080p IR camera (Windows Hello)

Independent testing found the Enter and arrow keys small.

Battery and power73 Wh 4-cell lithium-ion battery; 180 W adapter; plus a 100 W USB-C adapter

On battery the GPU runs at a lower limit; full performance needs the 180 W adapter.

ASUS
90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 200 W adapter with rectangular plug; a 100 W USB-C adapter is also listed

Which adapter is in the box varies by country and model. Full GPU power should not be expected when charging over USB-C.
