Is the RTX 4050 enough for modern games?

It handles esports titles and older games at high frame rates on the 165Hz screen. Demanding new releases need lowered settings, and 6GB of VRAM limits high-resolution textures.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

The 16GB comes as two 8GB DDR5 modules, so a RAM upgrade means replacing both sticks. The 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD sits in an M.2 slot and can be swapped for a larger drive.

How does it compare with the ROG Zephyrus G14?

The G14 offers stronger GPU options and a sharper display on some models. The Stealth 14 counters with a lower weight, a 16:10 165Hz screen and a 3-year warranty.

How long does the battery last?

The 72Wh battery gives several hours of light web and office use. Gaming on the RTX 4050 drains it quickly, so keep the charger nearby for play sessions.

Does it have Thunderbolt or USB4?

The Core Ultra 7-155H platform supports Thunderbolt 4 and USB4, so look for those ports for fast external drives and docks.
