ProcessorAMD Ryzen 7 7445HS; 6 cores / 12 threads, 3.2 GHz base, up to 4.7 GHz, 22 MB cache ASUSAMD 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
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU; 6 GB GDDR6; 2420 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the highest total power the GPU can draw: 115 W base power plus 25 W of Dynamic Boost shifted over when the processor is lightly loaded. The 2420 MHz figure is the 2370 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz factory overclock.

ASUS
NVIDIA 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
GPU switchingMUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus; G-Sync

The MUX switch connects the internal display straight to the NVIDIA GPU so games skip the integrated graphics; Advanced Optimus makes that switch automatically without a restart.

ASUS
MUX 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.

ASUS
Display16-inch FHD+ 16:10 (1920 × 1200) value IPS-level, anti-glare; 144 Hz; 45% NTSC

144 Hz means the panel can refresh 144 times a second, so motion looks smoother when the game frame rate keeps up. 45% NTSC is a narrow colour gamut: the FA607PV panel in the same family is listed at 100% sRGB.

ASUS
14-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
Memory2 × 8 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM (16 GB total), dual channel; up to 64 GB

Memory is not soldered: it sits in two SO-DIMM slots and can be swapped for up to 64 GB. ASUS notes the actual memory speed depends on what the processor supports.

ASUS
32 GB LPDDR5X-6400 on board; not expandable

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

ASUS
Storage512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots in total

According to ASUS, on Ryzen 7 7445HS configurations the second SSD slot offers restricted bandwidth because of motherboard limits; components near the slot also mean only single-sided SSDs are supported.

ASUS
1 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
Ports1 × 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); HDMI 2.1 FRL; RJ45; 3.5 mm audio

Charging over USB-C is listed only on the 10 Gbit/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 port; the USB4 port is for display and data. The RJ45 port does not support PoE.

ASUS
1 × 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
WirelessWi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) dual band 2 × 2; Bluetooth 5.2

ASUS notes the Bluetooth version may vary with operating system and driver support.

Battery and power56 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 240 W adapter (20 V, 12 A)

According to ASUS, the battery reaches 50% in 30 minutes with the proper adapter while the laptop is shut down. Whether the adapter is included can vary by country.

ASUS
73 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.
