Asus releases new 14-inch gaming laptop with 48 GB VRAM and 165 Hz display

[Redaktion]

Asus has started selling its first 14-inch gaming laptop backed by AMD's Strix Halo architecture. Available in Europe, China, and Japan, the new gaming laptop can assign up to 48 GB of VRAM to its Radeon 8060S iGPU thanks to its built-in 64 GB of RAM.

Literally not worth it at that price

I was superhyped for this, now I'm thinking of getting the old one instead.

[48 and 64 GB RAM nice]

48 GB RAM fits and runs LLMs like GLM-4.7-Flash at solid q8 quant (32 GB) (or Gpt-Oss-20B (14 GB), but this would also fit within 32 GB RAM).
Unfortunately 64 GB RAM won't fit Gpt-Oss-120B even the smallest quant (62.6 GB), but 96 GB RAM would fit it easily with a lot (or even full) of context (go to huggingface.co/spaces/oobabooga/accurate-gguf-vram-calculator, paste huggingface.co/unsloth/gpt-oss-120b-GGUF/blob/main/gpt-oss-120b-F16.gguf into the calculator and set context to full).

I mean, yeah. You can get the rtx 5050 version of this laptop for £1049. I don't think it's worth paying almost double for strix halo.

so if gaming is your use case I suspect you have to be an AMD fanboy to justify it.

If AI is your use case it is a "Shut up and take my money" offering. I just bought a Strix Halo 128GB desktop and I think I could live with 64GB for a lot of what I am doing.

I would buy this in a heartbeat, if I were unwilling to have a desktop.
