SpecificationASUS TUF Gaming A16 (2025) FA608UPLenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX9H (83DE0005US)
Release year20252024
ProcessorAMD Ryzen 9 270; 8 cores, 16 threads, 4.0–5.2 GHz, 24 MB cache; AMD XDNA NPU up to 16 TOPS

The NPU is a separate block for AI tasks; TOPS means trillions of operations per second. See the glossary page for details on the Zen 4 architecture.

ASUS		Intel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores (8 P + 16 E), 32 threads; P-core 2.2/5.8 GHz, E-core 1.6/4.1 GHz; 36 MB Intel Smart Cache; Intel HM770 chipset Lenovo
GraphicsNVIDIA 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		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; 2280 MHz boost clock, 175 W TGP, 542 AI TOPS

175 W is the highest total graphics power Lenovo allows in this model; going above NVIDIA’s 60–150 W base range for the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU relies on Dynamic Boost 2.0. The desktop RTX 4080 is a different product.

Lenovo
Display16-inch FHD+ 16:10 (1920 × 1200), IPS-level, anti-glare; 100% sRGB; 165 Hz, 3 ms; G-Sync; MUX Switch + Advanced Optimus

Advanced Optimus switches between integrated and discrete GPUs without a restart, saving battery on the desktop and using a direct NVIDIA path in games.

ASUS		16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) IPS, non-touch, 500 nits, anti-glare, 16:10, 1200:1, 100% DCI-P3, 240 Hz; DisplayHDR 400, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC, X-Rite factory calibration

DisplayHDR 400 is VESA’s entry-level HDR tier; it does not require local dimming, so HDR looks less striking than on OLED or Mini LED. 240 Hz and G-SYNC give smooth, tear-free motion in fast games. Lenovo notes that “IPS” may also cover similar panel types such as PLS, ADS and AHVA.

Lenovo
Memory2 × 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		1 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; two slots, dual-channel capable; up to 32 GB in Lenovo’s offering

This configuration ships with a single module, so memory runs single-channel until a matching module is added to the second slot. Lenovo’s 32 GB limit is based on the modules it has tested.

Lenovo
Storage1 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.

ASUS		2 × 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD; two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots (both used)

PCIe 4.0 x4 allows up to 8 GB/s in theory; real speed depends on the SSD. There is no card reader.

Lenovo
Ports1 × USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort, 40 Gbit/s); 1 × USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-Sync); 2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 2; 1 × USB-A 2.0; HDMI 2.1 FRL; RJ45; 3.5 mm audio jack

The USB4 port provides 40 Gbit/s data and display output; G-Sync is listed only on the USB-C 3.2 port wired to the NVIDIA GPU.

ASUS		1 × Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40 Gbit/s (DisplayPort 1.4), 1 × USB-C 10 Gbit/s (Lenovo PD 140 W, DisplayPort 1.4), 4 × USB-A 5 Gbit/s (one Always On), 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K/60 Hz), 1 × RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio

140 W charging over USB-C needs Lenovo’s own adapter; other adapters may deliver less. Up to four independent displays including the internal one are supported; Lenovo lists up to 4K/60 Hz for external outputs. Ethernet is 1 Gbit/s, not 2.5G, and supports Wake-on-LAN.

Cooling—Hybrid cooling: air cooling + liquid-metal thermal interface

Liquid metal transfers heat between the chip and cooler more efficiently than standard paste, which makes servicing more delicate.

Lenovo
Battery and power—99.9 Wh lithium-ion, Super Rapid Charge; 330 W slim-tip GaN adapter

Lenovo says Super Rapid Charge reaches 30% in 10 minutes, 70% in 30 minutes and 100% in 80 minutes. 99.9 Wh sits just under the usual airline battery limit. Lenovo quotes 10.4 hours of 1080p video playback at 150 nits.
