Release year20252024
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		Intel Core i7-13650HX; 14 cores (6 P + 8 E), 20 threads, up to 4.9 GHz

HX processors are high-power mobile chips; sustained power and fan noise depend on Lenovo’s power modes.

Lenovo
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 4060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; 115 W TGP with the 230 W adapter, 105 W with the 170 W adapter

TGP is the sustained power limit given to the GPU; on the same GPU a higher TGP usually means higher gaming performance. Lenovo ties TGP on this platform to the wattage of the bundled adapter.

Lenovo
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		15.6-inch FHD (1920 × 1080) IPS, 144 Hz, 300 nits, 100% sRGB, anti-glare; NVIDIA G-SYNC

144 Hz shows smooth motion up to 144 frames per second in games; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing.

Lenovo
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		24 GB DDR5-4800 (2 × 12 GB SODIMM); two slots, up to 32 GB

Memory is not soldered; both slots come filled, so an upgrade means replacing both modules. The 32 GB limit is Lenovo’s platform statement.

Lenovo
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		1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 NVMe QLC SSD; two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

The second M.2 slot allows an extra SSD. QLC flash can slow down sooner than TLC during long, large writes.

Lenovo
Ports1 × USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort, 40 Gbit/s); 1 × USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-Sync); 2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2; 1 × USB-A 2.0; HDMI 2.1 FRL; RJ45; 3.5 mm audio jack

The USB4 port provides 40 Gbit/s data and display output; G-Sync is listed only on the USB-C 3.2 port wired to the NVIDIA GPU.

ASUS		1 × USB-C 10 Gbps (USB PD 65–100 W input, DisplayPort 1.4); 3 × USB-A 5 Gbps; HDMI 2.1; RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet; 3.5 mm headphone/mic

Charging over USB-C works, but 140 W input needs Lenovo’s own adapter; the slim-tip port remains the main power input for gaming. There is no Thunderbolt or USB4.

ASUS notes whether an adapter is included can vary by country and model.

ASUS		60 Wh lithium-ion; up to 50% in 30 minutes with Rapid Charge Pro; 170 W or 230 W slim-tip adapter

Lenovo rates it at 4.1 hours in MobileMark 25 and 5.6 hours of local 1080p video at 150 nits.
