Display14-inch OLED; 2880 × 1800 (3K); 16:10; 120 Hz; Pantone Validated ASUS16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED, 16:10; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1100 nits HDR peak, 100% DCI-P3, 1,000,000:1 contrast, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 1000, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC

165 Hz means the panel can show up to 165 frames per second; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 1100 nits is a peak value for small areas in HDR content; everyday SDR brightness is 500 nits. The panel is factory-calibrated with X-Rite and is not a touchscreen.

Lenovo
Display featuresROG Nebula HDR; 1100 nits peak brightness; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000; 100% DCI-P3; 0.2 ms; G-SYNC; ambient light sensor

HDR peak brightness is not a sustained full-screen figure. ASUS’s January 2026 introduction gives 1000 nits peak; the 1100 nits from the sales announcement is used.

Memory16 GB LPDDR5X-8533, onboard; no slot, not upgradeable

ASUS lists this model code in both 16 GB and 32 GB columns; this entry is the 16 GB column. Actual memory speed may vary by processor configuration.

ASUS		32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, dual-channel

Memory is not soldered. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested for this platform is 32 GB; both slots are filled from the factory, so an upgrade means replacing the modules.
