ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache ASUSIntel Core i7-13650HX; 14 cores (6 performance + 8 efficiency), 2.6 GHz, up to 4.9 GHz, 24 MB cache

HX-series chips are near-desktop laptop processors that run at high power limits; fan noise and temperature depend on the ASUS power profile chosen.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2225 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the top of NVIDIA’s allowed power range for the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; the 25 W Dynamic Boost share moves to the GPU when CPU load is low. The GPU is soldered to the board.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2420 MHz; 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

2420 MHz is the 2370 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz ASUS overclock. 115 W is the upper power class for the RTX 4060 Laptop; Dynamic Boost shifts spare CPU power to the GPU. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

ASUS
Display18-inch ROG Nebula, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), IPS-level, 240 Hz, 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated; anti-glare

240 Hz shows motion more smoothly and with less blur in fast games; G-Sync matches the refresh to the frame rate to reduce tearing.

ASUS		16-inch FHD+ (1920 × 1200, 16:10); IPS-level, anti-glare; 165 Hz; 7 ms; sRGB 100%

165 Hz shows smoother motion at up to 165 frames per second in games, provided the game reaches that frame rate. “IPS-level” means ASUS does not state the exact panel type.

ASUS
MUX and graphics switchingMUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the display directly to the NVIDIA GPU; Advanced Optimus switches without a restart.

Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM); 2 SO-DIMM slots, dual channel

Because both slots are filled, upgrading means replacing the installed modules; memory speed depends on the processor’s support.

ASUS		16 GB (2 × 8 GB) DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM; 2 slots; up to 32 GB according to ASUS

The memory modules are replaceable; both slots are filled for dual-channel operation.
