  1. The figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual performance may vary in real-world situations.
  2. Free update to Copilot+ PC experiences, when available.
  3. Screen simulated, subject to change. Copilot in Windows (in preview) is available in select global markets and will be rolled out to additional markets over time. The Copilot key will be available on many new Windows PCs starting in early 2024. When Copilot in Windows is not enabled on the device, pressing the Copilot key will launch Windows Search See aka.ms/WindowsAIFeatures​
  1. Thickness might vary according to specifications.
  2. The visual appearance of OLED displays may change over the product’s lifetime. This is expected behavior that can include image persistence or burn-in, where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This tends to occur only in extreme use cases, such as when a static, high-contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimize this risk by setting Windows’s Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimizes the potential for burn-in to maximize the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjust the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows Settings tool.
  3. Weight may vary by specifications.
  4. Average tested result in MyASUS Splendid Display P3 and sRGB color gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.
  5. Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emissions of blue light between 415-455 nm wavelengths.
  6. To further maximize the protection of your OLED laptop, ASUS has included OLED Care settings such as pixel refresh and pixel shifting, which are turned on by default. It’s important to note that if any burn-in issues do occur within the warranty period, which might vary by country, ASUS offers a free exchange service for the affected OLED laptop as long as the user did not manually turn off the OLED Care functions.
  7. The color-temperature-adjustment feature is available with OLED models only.
  8. Testing done on discrete parts, using soda-lime glass as comparative reference. Figures and tests provided by Corning.
  9. This data is derived from ASUS laboratory testing, which involves simulating daily charging frequency as the testing standard. The actual lifespan of the battery may differ depending on factors such as product configuration, usage patterns, operational conditions, and power management settings. Over time, the battery’s longevity will naturally decrease. For more comprehensive information, please refer to the provided link. https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051114
  10. Theoretical speed difference between Wi-Fi 7 (160 MHz, 4096 QAM version), and Wi-Fi 6 (80 MHz, 1024 QAM version).
  11. The Multi-Link Operation function, which allows the laptop to switch to the strongest Wi-Fi signal automatically, only works when the router is also Wi-Fi 7 compatible.
  12. The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810H testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810H testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.
