MSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XWJG-070 / ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2024) FA507UV (Ryzen 7 8845HS)

MSI says OverBoost Ultra can allocate up to 270 W combined to the CPU and GPU; the actual figure depends on the application.

The NPU is a dedicated unit for running some Windows AI features without loading the CPU or GPU. ASUS also sells this chassis in Ryzen 9 8945H SKUs.

The laptop version does not share the desktop RTX 5090’s configuration or power, so its performance is not the same either.

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. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4060.

Dynamic Boost shifts spare power to the GPU when the processor draws less; 175 W is the upper limit for this laptop GPU.

MSI lists VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and about 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Mini LED splits the backlight into zones, deepening blacks in dark scenes, though a faint halo can appear around bright objects.

144 Hz shows motion smoothly when games reach up to 144 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% sRGB suits web and game content; it is not a wide-gamut panel.

This configuration ships at MSI’s stated maximum; both slots are filled, so memory cannot be added, only swapped.

The modules are not soldered; going higher means replacing the installed modules. ASUS says memory speed varies by CPU.

MSI lists four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4. This SKU ships with three drives; MSI mentions Super RAID 5 support.

ASUS notes that only single-sided SSDs fit the M.2 slot because of components on the motherboard.

USB-C charging is capped at 140 W; MSI recommends a 65–140 W USB-PD adapter. Full performance needs the included 400 W adapter.

It gives vibration feedback instead of a physical click; the surface is merged into the palm rest.

The IR sensor enables Windows Hello face sign-in.

A vapor chamber spreads heat over a wide surface, helping the CPU and GPU sustain high power for longer.

ASUS states the drivers are only compatible with Windows 11 24H2 or later.

The global spec table lists up to 96 GB of DDR5-6400 for this chassis; actual memory speed can vary with the module and processor combination.

The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut game latency; Advanced Optimus can switch without a restart.

The USB4 port provides 40 Gbit/s data and video out; G-SYNC is listed only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. The RJ45 port does not support PoE.

ASUS says the battery can reach 50% in 30 minutes with the proper adapter while the laptop is off. Whether the adapter is included varies by country; the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port also accepts power.

ASUS says the testing is done under lab conditions, does not mean fitness for military use, and damage from trying to replicate the conditions is not covered by warranty.
