SpecificationASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) GA403WMMSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XWJG-070
Release year20252025
ProcessorAMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370; 12 cores, 24 threads, 2.0 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 36 MB cache

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

ASUS
Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX; 24 cores, up to 5.5 GHz, 36 MB cache

MSI says OverBoost Ultra can allocate up to 270 W combined to the CPU and GPU; the actual figure depends on the application.

MSI
AI unit (NPU)AMD XDNA NPU, up to 50 TOPS

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

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 1737 MHz at 90 W in Turbo mode (75 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

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.

ASUS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU; 24 GB GDDR7

The laptop version does not share the desktop RTX 5090’s configuration or power, so its performance is not the same either.

MSI
Display14-inch 3K (2880 × 1800) 16:10 OLED ROG Nebula Display; 120 Hz, DCI-P3 100%, Pantone Validated, anti-reflection coating

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.

ASUS
18-inch, 16:10, 3840 × 2400 (UHD+), 120 Hz, Mini LED, anti-glare

MSI lists VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and about 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Mini LED splits the backlight into zones, deepening blacks in dark scenes, though a faint halo can appear around bright objects.

MSI
Memory32 GB LPDDR5X-7500 soldered to the board; 32 GB maximum

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

ASUS
96 GB DDR5-6400 (2 × 48 GB); 2 SO-DIMM slots, 96 GB maximum

This configuration ships at MSI’s stated maximum; both slots are filled, so memory cannot be added, only swapped.

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

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

ASUS
6 TB total: 1 × 2 TB PCIe 5.0 and 2 × 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs

MSI lists four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4. This SKU ships with three drives; MSI mentions Super RAID 5 support.

MSI
Ports1 × USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC, 10 Gbps), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, microSD (UHS-II) card reader, 1 × 3.5 mm audio

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

Battery and power73 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 200 W adapter (rectangular connector), USB-C charging

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

GPU power limit—Up to 175 W with Dynamic Boost; boost clock up to 2,160 MHz

Dynamic Boost shifts spare power to the GPU when the processor draws less; 175 W is the upper limit for this laptop GPU.

MSI
Thunderbolt—2 × Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort 2.1, up to 140 W charging over USB-PD 3.1)

USB-C charging is capped at 140 W; MSI recommends a 65–140 W USB-PD adapter. Full performance needs the included 400 W adapter.

MSI
Other ports—3 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), HDMI 2.1 (4K 120 Hz / 8K 60 Hz), SD Express card reader, headset jack MSI

Touchpad—Borderless haptic touchpad, 131 × 82 mm, RGB lighting

It gives vibration feedback instead of a physical click; the surface is merged into the palm rest.

MSI
Webcam—1080p 30 fps, with IR sensor and privacy shutter

The IR sensor enables Windows Hello face sign-in.

MSI
