Release year20252024
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 7 255HX; 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficiency), 20 threads, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB Intel Smart Cache

The Intel AI Boost NPU, rated at up to 13 TOPS, is built into the processor.

Lenovo
Intel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 2662 MHz boost, 115 W TGP, 440 AI TOPS

115 W TGP is among the higher power limits used for this GPU in laptops; the same RTX 5050 runs at lower power in thinner chassis. The graphics chip is soldered. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5060 and 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

Lenovo
NVIDIA 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
Display15.1-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1000 nits peak, 100% DCI-P3, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 600, Dolby Vision

DisplayHDR True Black 600 is the VESA tier verifying 600-nit peak brightness and very low black level on OLED panels. The panel is factory colour-calibrated and TÜV-certified for low blue light and flicker-free operation; it is not a touchscreen. The platform sheet does not list G-SYNC for this panel.

Lenovo

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
Memory16 GB (1 × 16 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, dual-channel capable

With one module fitted at the factory, memory runs in single channel; adding a matching module to the free slot enables dual channel. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested is 32 GB.

Lenovo
32 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.
