Questions about this item

Will the 64 GB DDR5 memory and 2 TB PCIe SSD be recognised and covered by the ASUS warranty after the professional upgrade?

The original seal is opened by engineers for the upgrade only, with a one-year warranty on the upgraded RAM and SSD plus the standard one-year manufacturer warranty on all other components.

What external displays can I drive from the two USB4 Type-C ports and the HDMI 2.1 FRL port?

Each USB4 Type-C port supports DisplayPort and G-SYNC at up to 40 Gbps data speed, while the HDMI 2.1 FRL port handles high-refresh 4K output for multi-monitor setups.

How much desk space and carrying weight should I plan for with this 18-inch chassis?

The laptop measures 15.71 x 11.57 x 0.91 inches and weighs 6.61 lbs, so allow a wide surface and a sturdy backpack for daily transport.
