- A: AnswerThis has 32GB of system memory (2x16GB DDR5) and the 4090 has 16GB of VRAM. Sometimes sites get those details backwards or interchange them mistakenly. That is one reason. Another reason is *If* you buy it from some specialty botique shops they will sometimes offer it in a non Asus standard spec ranging from NO ram up to 96GB of ram based on your choice. They will also custom config your storage too from NO storage up to 12TB again based on your choice. Luckily, Best Buy sells it in the proper stock config directly from Asus which is 32GB of system memory and 2TB of SSD.

Great laptop; Best Buy’s price match policy not
Very great laptop but a little pricey. I wish Best Buy could change their return & price match policy, as it is only 15 days and of course I noticed the price dropped $400 right after the window to do the price match. That is a let down, but I will suck it up and continue to make the most out of my new laptop.

Amazing performance
After trying multiple laptops and returning them after being dissatisfied with them, I finally bought this one and I’m extremely happy with it. The few complaints I have I can live with the one thing that bothers me is that this laptop is made of a bunch of plastics I think for a laptop of this caliber and price a lot less plastic should be used. Then there’s the battery life which is short, but that’s expected in a laptop this powerful so if you purchase this expect to play with it plugged in most of the time. This has been able to handle every game I throw at it, and the ram and storage is upgradable if you need more.

The most powerful you can get right now
This is the most powerful gaming laptop you can get right now. The 7945hx3d is better for games then every other AMD and Intel laptop chip on the market right now. The 4090 comes in at max TDP so its running full throttle. The only downside is the RAM is 4800mhz but can be swapped out with 5200mhz sodimms. At 1080p you’ll be clocking over 100fps for every game at ultra everything, ray/path tracing on, everything. At 1440p it’ll be 90-100fps. And at 4k on an external monitor you can get 60-70fps. This thing clocks a Timespy score only a few thousand off from a 4080/7800x3D desktop and is as close as you are going to get to a portable desktop in a laptop. It’s a beast.
