ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU; 12 GB GDDR7; ROG Boost 1565 MHz; 140 W (115 W TGP + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the maximum total graphics power; the 25 W Dynamic Boost portion is shifted to the GPU when processor load is low. Real power in games varies with profile and temperature.

ASUS		NVIDIA 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
GPU switchingMUX switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to cut latency in games; Advanced Optimus makes that switch without a restart.

ASUS		—
MemoryDDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots

Memory is socketed, so it can be upgraded later; the shipped capacity varies by SKU.

ASUS		2 × 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
StorageTwo M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD slots

The shipped SSD capacity varies by SKU; the second slot can be used to add a drive later.

ASUS		1 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.
