ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) GA403WM / MSI Sword 16 HX B14VGKG-063ID

The processor also contains graphics and AI units; when the discrete GPU is idle, the integrated Radeon graphics drive the screen.

The HX series is a high-power laptop processor; real performance depends on MSI’s power modes and cooling.

The NPU handles AI tasks such as background blur or captions in Windows at low power. TOPS means trillions of operations per second.

The same GPU can run at up to 115 W in thicker laptops, so this thin-chassis version should be expected to perform lower. The GPU is soldered.

On OLED each pixel makes its own light, so blacks turn fully off. DCI-P3 100% means it covers the whole cinema color space; Pantone validation is a factory color-accuracy check.

The 16:10 ratio gives more vertical space at the same width; 240 Hz shows motion more smoothly in high-frame-rate games.

Memory cannot be upgraded later; the right capacity must be chosen at purchase.

Memory is not soldered; capacity can be raised by replacing the two modules.

With a single slot, adding capacity means replacing the SSD.

The second slot allows an extra SSD; the Gen5-compatible slot accepts faster new-generation SSDs.

There is no Ethernet port. ASUS states support for the XG Mobile GC34 external GPU.

The Type-C port outputs video. Independent testing reports that the laptop cannot be charged over USB-C; the 200 W adapter is used for charging.

Wi‑Fi 7’s wide channels and multi-link features need a compatible router.

The Type-C ports support power input; full GPU power needs the 200 W adapter.

The IR camera enables face-recognition sign-in with Windows Hello.

The RTX 4070 Laptop GPU can be configured between 35 and 115 W; this SKU sits at the top of that range. Dynamic Boost shifts power to the GPU when CPU load is low.
