MSI		—
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 24 threads, 36 MB L3, up to 5.4 GHz

The chip also includes an Intel AI Boost NPU, a block set aside for running AI tasks at low power.

MSI		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 5080 Laptop GPU; 16 GB GDDR7; up to 2287 MHz

The RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 5080 card; its power limit and cooling conditions differ.

MSI		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
GPU power limitUp to 175 W with Dynamic Boost; up to 240 W combined CPU + GPU with MSI OverBoost Ultra

MSI notes the figure may vary by scenario. 175 W is the upper limit NVIDIA allows for the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU; the card draws less in lower power modes and on battery.

Display16-inch QHD+ 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, IPS-level panel; 100% DCI-P3 (typical)

MSI describes the panel as "IPS-level", which does not necessarily mean it is an IPS panel. 240 Hz makes motion smoother in fast games, provided the game produces high frame rates.

MSI		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
Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB, up to DDR5-6400

The MSI USA table lists the installed modules as DDR5-5600; the 6400 in the spec sheet is the top speed the platform supports. The slots take replaceable modules.

MSI		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.

ASUS
Storage2 TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD; two M.2 slots (one Gen4, one Gen5)

MSI says storage upgrades should go through a service centre. The Gen5 slot can give higher sequential speeds than Gen4 with a compatible SSD.

MSI		1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots

The second M.2 slot can take an additional SSD.

ASUS
USB-C / Thunderbolt2 × Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort and Power Delivery 3.1)

The Thunderbolt 5 ports carry data, an external display and charging over one cable with compatible devices. The laptop reaches full performance on its 330 W adapter; USB-C charging runs at lower power.

MSI		—
Other ports2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2; HDMI 2.1 (8K 60 Hz / 4K 120 Hz); SD Express card reader; 3.5 mm headset jack

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports transfer up to 10 Gbit/s. HDMI 2.1 can drive a 4K TV or monitor at 120 Hz.
