The Asus VivoBook 16X K3605ZC is classified as a gaming laptop and weighs 1800 g, with physical dimensions of 358 mm wide, 249 mm deep, and 18 mm thick, giving it a volume of roughly 1604.556 cm³. It features a fanless design and includes a backlit keyboard for use in low-light conditions. The chassis is neither weather-sealed nor built to rugged standards, and the laptop comes with a one-year warranty.
The laptop features a 16″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a resolution of 1920 x 1200 px at a pixel density of 141 ppi. It operates at a 144Hz refresh rate, which supports smoother on-screen motion, and reaches a typical brightness of 300 nits. An anti-reflection coating is applied to the screen surface, though the display does not support touch input. The GPU can drive up to 4 supported displays simultaneously.
The laptop is equipped with 16GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz, with a single memory slot and a maximum supported capacity of 64GB. The CPU operates at 4 x 2.5 GHz and 8 x 1.8 GHz with a turbo clock of 4.5GHz, spread across 16 threads with multithreading enabled, and is built on an 8 nm semiconductor process. Storage is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0 and flash memory. On the graphics side, the GPU carries 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM, a base clock of 712 MHz boosting to 1740 MHz, and delivers a floating-point throughput of 4.329 TFLOPS, alongside a texture rate of 67.65 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 42.28 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and is 64-bit compatible, though it does not support XeSS.
In CPU benchmarks, the laptop scores 2241 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 9961 in Geekbench 6 multi-core, while PassMark results show a single-core score of 3407 and an overall PassMark score of 20548. The Cinebench R20 multi-core result stands at 5688, reflecting the processor's sustained multi-threaded rendering capability. On the graphics side, the GPU achieves a PassMark G3D score of 9278.
For wired connections, the laptop provides two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, along with a single HDMI 2.1 output for external display use. There are no USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3 or 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, RJ45, or VGA ports. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) as well as Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.3. The laptop also includes an external memory slot and supports AirPlay.
The laptop is powered by a 50 Wh battery. It does not include sleep-and-charge USB ports, nor does it use a MagSafe power adapter.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and a single built-in microphone, though it does not support Dolby Atmos or carry an S/PDIF output. A front camera is present and voice commands are supported, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent. On the graphics feature side, the GPU supports both ray tracing and DLSS. No stylus is included, and the device lacks an optical disc drive, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass.
The CPU is a laptop-type processor seated in an LGA 1700 socket with a clock multiplier of 25, Turbo Boost version 2, a TDP of 75W, and a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C. It carries 10 MB of L2 cache and 18 MB of L3 cache, operates across 2 memory channels with a maximum supported RAM speed of 5200 MHz, and supports instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX. The processor includes an NX bit, supports ECC memory, Double Precision Floating Point, and integrated graphics in the form of Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units, but does not use big.LITTLE technology and has a locked multiplier. The discrete GPU is built on the Ampere architecture and features 2048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 40 ROPs, a 128-bit memory bus, a GPU memory speed of 1500 MHz, an effective memory speed of 12000 MHz, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s. It supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, and Intel Resizable BAR, and does not use LHR or air-water cooling. The overclocked PassMark result stands at 23744.
