ASUS lists 16GB DDR5 on board and 8GB or 16GB SO-DIMM modules; maximum 32GB for most SKUs and 8GB for one. Arc graphics apply only to some chips and dual-channel memory. Bandwidth is empty because the chips and module counts differ.

Speed is not known for this laptop. We have no sourced memory bandwidth figure, so the tables show fit only.

With 8 GB of memory

About 4 GB of it can hold a model.

Editing, gaming, CAD and other work

Each app below publishes a minimum and a recommended system requirement. We compare them with this laptop's memory and graphics memory. We do not judge the graphics chip's class, the processor generation or the operating system, because the makers describe those in words: check the source link for the exact card, processor and system they name. Many apps and games run only on Windows or only on macOS. Integrated graphics count as below any requirement for a dedicated card. Not known means the maker does not state this laptop's graphics memory.
