ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

HX-series chips are laptop processors that run at high power limits for gaming and content creation; in multi-core work the chassis cooling decides the result.

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 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; 2225 MHz at 140 W (2175 MHz boost + 50 MHz OC; 115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the maximum GPU power when Dynamic Boost borrows budget from the CPU: 25 W is added to the sustained 115 W depending on load balance. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4070.

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

240 Hz makes motion smoother when a game approaches 240 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 means a wide gamut covering the cinema colour space; Pantone validation refers to factory colour calibration.

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
Graphics switchingMUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut latency and performance loss in games; Advanced Optimus can switch without a restart.

Memory32 GB: 2 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, dual channel; up to 32 GB

Both slots are populated and ASUS lists 32 GB as the maximum for this model; the modules are not soldered. ASUS notes memory speed varies 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
Storage2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots in total

ASUS counts two M.2 PCIe slots including the used one; a second SSD can go in the other slot.

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 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbit/s, DisplayPort), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbit/s, DisplayPort / power delivery / G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbit/s), 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45, 3.5 mm audio

ASUS lists G-SYNC only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, which also accepts charging from the 100 W USB-C adapter. HDMI 2.1 FRL allows high refresh rates at high resolution on compatible TVs and monitors.

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.

Lenovo
WirelessWi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) tri-band 2×2, Bluetooth 5.2

Wi-Fi 6E can use the 6 GHz band, subject to national regulation and Windows 11 driver support.
