Release year20252025
ProcessorAMD Ryzen 9 270; 8 cores, 16 threads, 4.0–5.2 GHz, 24 MB cache; AMD XDNA NPU up to 16 TOPS

The NPU is a separate block for AI tasks; TOPS means trillions of operations per second. See the glossary page for details on the Zen 4 architecture.

ASUS
AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS; 6 cores / 12 threads, 3.2 GHz base, up to 4.7 GHz, 22 MB cache ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR7; 1595 MHz (1545 MHz boost clock + 50 MHz OC); 100 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost

Dynamic Boost shifts 15 W to the GPU when the CPU needs less, for 115 W in total. ASUS quotes the clock speed at a 55 W condition.

ASUS
NVIDIA 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
Display16-inch FHD+ 16:10 (1920 × 1200), IPS-level, anti-glare; 100% sRGB; 165 Hz, 3 ms; G-Sync; MUX Switch + Advanced Optimus

Advanced Optimus switches between integrated and discrete GPUs without a restart, saving battery on the desktop and using a direct NVIDIA path in games.

ASUS
16-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
Memory2 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM (32 GB); 2 slots, max 64 GB

The SO-DIMM modules are replaceable; ASUS notes memory speed can vary by CPU.

ASUS
2 × 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
Storage1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 M.2 PCIe slots

The second M.2 slot allows adding storage without removing the existing SSD.

ASUS
512 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

GPU switching—MUX 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
Battery and power—56 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.
