A:AnswerNot sure where you’re seeing any picture with a case or cover, unless you’re wrongfully looking at an Asus corporate ad. What you get is almost certainly the laptop plus the new style power brick with rectangular plug. Some people might want to buy an extra lightweight USB-C powering brick for your backpack to leave the big brick at home or in the hotel/car.
A:AnswerI believe its an updated MediaTek model, but dont quote me on this one. However, I did have the 2023 model and experienced terrible wifi issues with that one as well. I have had zero issues in the week using the 2024 model yet.
A:AnswerAMD does not support Thunderbolt in any capacity as that is specific to Apple and Intel. What this DOES have is USB4 (v1) which supports PCIE tunneling and therefor behaves similarly to TB4 both in terms of tx/rx capacity and features.
You can disable the discrete card and run in this manner if you choose to. If you do the fans will completely shut off and only turn on briefly once the temperatures are below 50C*
A:AnswerYes but it does require the user to close any application running the dGPU. You can also force the iGPU and when the iGPU is in use at desktop the unit runs with the fans at 0 RPM (fanless)
A:AnswerYou'll have to check the GPU you want to use. While Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 have a lot of similarities, there are also a lot of subtle differences between the two.
A:AnswerThis specific laptop model is adequate enough to run popular games and applications with its hardware configuration without the need for upgrade.
