ProcessorAMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores / 24 threads, 2.0–5.1 GHz, 36 MB cache); 50 TOPS XDNA NPU ASUSIntel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 2.1–5.4 GHz

Arrow Lake-HX generation 24-core processor (8 performance, 16 efficiency) on the Intel HM870 chipset. There is no Hyper-Threading, so each core runs one thread.

MSI
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU; 12 GB GDDR7; 1812 MHz at 110 W in Turbo mode (85 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

110 W is the ceiling reached only in the Turbo profile when CPU load allows. The GA403UP version with the RTX 5070 Laptop in the same chassis is limited to 90 W and 8 GB.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, 24 GB GDDR7; 150 W maximum graphics power with Dynamic Boost; up to 1875 MHz boost

The laptop RTX 5090 is not the same card as the desktop RTX 5090. 150 W is the ceiling MSI sets for this thin chassis, so slightly lower GPU performance than thicker 175 W models is expected. MSI quotes 1824 AI TOPS.

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

Pantone Validated means the screen reproduces Pantone colours with factory-measured accuracy, reducing colour shifts in photo and video editing.

ASUS		18-inch UHD+ 3840 × 2400, 120 Hz, Mini LED, HDR 1000, 100% DCI-P3; matte surface

The 16:10 panel is an LCD lit from behind by many small LED zones; local dimming gives high brightness and contrast in HDR content, though halos can appear around bright objects in dark scenes. MSI’s family page describes the panel as "IPS-Level".

MSI
Memory32 GB LPDDR5X 8000 soldered; no expansion slot ASUS64 GB (2 × 32 GB) DDR5-5600; 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB

Both slots come populated, so an upgrade means replacing the modules. MSI lists support up to DDR5-6400; the actual speed depends on the memory combination and the CPU.

MSI
Storage1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; one M.2 slot in total

With the only slot occupied, adding capacity means replacing the drive.

ASUS		2 TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD; 1 M.2 slot

There is no second SSD slot; MSI advises consulting a service centre before upgrading the SSD.

Ports1 × USB4 Type-C (40 Gbit/s, DisplayPort, power delivery); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-Sync); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; UHS-II microSD; 3.5 mm; XG Mobile GC34 support

ASUS documents G-Sync for external displays only on the USB 3.2 Type-C output. XG Mobile is ASUS’s external graphics enclosure.

ASUS		2 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort / Power Delivery 3.1); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; 1 × HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); 1 × RJ45; 1 × headset combo jack

Thunderbolt 4 carries 40 Gbit/s data and video over the USB-C shaped port. This model has no Thunderbolt 5.
