Release year20242023
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 185H; 16 cores, 22 threads, 2.3 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 11 TOPS)

The NPU is a separate unit for running AI tasks at low power. Intel lists 45 W base and 115 W maximum turbo power for this processor.

ASUS		Intel 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 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1940 MHz at 100 W (85 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

Because of the thin chassis, the power limit is lower than in thicker gaming laptops that run the same GPU at up to 140 W, which can mean lower frame rates under load. The GPU is soldered.

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
DisplayROG Nebula: 16-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600) 16:10, IPS-level, anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR); 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated

This QP version uses an IPS-level panel; the QR-coded versions have a 0.2 ms OLED panel.

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.

Memory32 GB LPDDR5X-7467 soldered on board; not upgradeable

ASUS states there is no memory slot in this configuration; capacity must be chosen at purchase.

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.

Battery and power90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 200 W adapter with rectangular connector; ASUS also lists a 100 W USB‑C adapter

USB‑C charging works, but full performance needs the 200 W adapter. ASUS says included adapters vary by country and model.

ASUS		90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 280 W adapter (ø6.0 mm)

The 280 W adapter is needed for full GPU and CPU power; performance drops on battery.
