Release year20252024
ProcessorAMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370; 12 cores, 24 threads, 2.0 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 36 MB cache

The processor also contains graphics and AI units; when the discrete GPU is idle, the integrated Radeon graphics drive the screen.

ASUS
Intel Core i9-14900HX; 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

The HX series is Intel’s high-power family that brings near-desktop core counts to laptops.

ASUS
AI unit (NPU)AMD XDNA NPU, up to 50 TOPS

The NPU handles AI tasks such as background blur or captions in Windows at low power. TOPS means trillions of operations per second.

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 1737 MHz at 90 W in Turbo mode (75 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

The same GPU can run at up to 115 W in thicker laptops, so this thin-chassis version should be expected to perform lower. The GPU is soldered.

ASUS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2330 MHz at 175 W (150 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

ASUS adds a 50 MHz overclock to the 2280 MHz boost clock. Dynamic Boost shifts 25 W from the CPU to the GPU depending on load. The GPU is soldered and cannot be replaced.

ASUS
Display14-inch 3K (2880 × 1800) 16:10 OLED ROG Nebula Display; 120 Hz, DCI-P3 100%, Pantone Validated, anti-reflection coating

On OLED each pixel makes its own light, so blacks turn fully off. DCI-P3 100% means it covers the whole cinema color space; Pantone validation is a factory color-accuracy check.

ASUS
18-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600, WQXGA) 16:10 Mini LED; 240 Hz, 3 ms, DCI-P3 100%, G-Sync, anti-glare; ROG Nebula HDR Display, Pantone Validated

Mini LED backlighting dims thousands of small LEDs in zones for higher brightness and contrast in HDR; slight halos may be visible around bright objects. ASUS states the display works with a MUX switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus.

ASUS
Memory32 GB LPDDR5X-7500 soldered to the board; 32 GB maximum

Memory cannot be upgraded later; the right capacity must be chosen at purchase.

ASUS
32 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM (2 × 16 GB); 2 slots, up to 64 GB, dual channel

Both slots come filled; upgrading means replacing the modules. ASUS notes memory speed can vary by CPU.

ASUS
Storage1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 1 × M.2 slot

With a single slot, adding capacity means replacing the SSD.

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

The second M.2 slot allows an additional SSD.
