14" model

A diagram shows the front view of a 14-inch notebook. The top edge of the screen displays Array microphones. Adjacent to this are the Webcam shield, Camera indicator, and Camera/IR Camera. The main screen area is labeled as the Display panel. Below the screen is the keyboard area. A Microphone off indicator is located near the Power button. The keyboard layout is shown. A Windows Copilot key is indicated on the keyboard. The Touchpad is positioned below the keyboard. The Capital lock indicator is visible above the keyboard.

16" model

A diagram shows the front view of a 16-inch notebook, similar to the 14-inch model. It features Array microphones, Webcam shield, Camera indicator, and Camera/IR Camera near the top of the Display panel. Below the screen, the keyboard area includes the Microphone off indicator, Power button, and a Numeric keypad to the right of the main keyboard. The Windows Copilot key is indicated on the keyboard, and the Touchpad is below it. The Capital lock indicator is visible above the keyboard.

Disclaimer: Prolonged display of static or high-contrast images may result in image persistence or burn-in on OLED display. ASUS Notebook PCs with OLED displays (on selected models) minimize the potential of burn-in by setting Dark Mode in Windows as default and shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off. It is recommended to enable animated dark-background screensavers and avoid setting your OLED display at maximum brightness to extend the lifespan of your OLED display.

I/O ports and slots

Diagrams illustrate the ports on the sides of the notebook.

On one side:

FCC RF Exposure Information

This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid.
