Pros
- 16:10 WUXGA (1920x1200) OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio
- Light for a 16-inch laptop at 1.6kg and 14.9-16.9mm thick, with a metal body tested to selected MIL-STD-810H methods
- 50Wh battery: ASUS rates it at up to 30 hours of video playback and says it charges to 60% in 49 minutes with the 68W USB-C adapter when the laptop is off or in standby
- Full set of ports: two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C with display and power delivery, two USB-A, HDMI 2.1 and a headphone jack
- 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU for Copilot+ PC features
Cons
- The display is limited to 60Hz and a 300-nit brightness rating
- Memory is soldered LPDDR5X that tops out at 16GB, so it cannot be upgraded after purchase
- Arm-based Snapdragon X chip, so Windows apps built for x86 run through emulation
- USB-C ports are 10Gbps USB 3.2 rather than USB4, and Wi-Fi is 6E rather than Wi-Fi 7
