You can do it natively by unlocking [majorgeeks.com] the Windows power options [microsoft.com]. With Alder Lake you need to unlock MaxFrequency and MaxFrequency1.

Alder Lake's frequency sweet spot is 4GHz for the big cores, and 3GHz for the small cores. Any higher frequency will improve performance at the cost of much higher energy (20% perfomrance boost with 80% more energy). Source[/URL]]

You should limit the big core to 4GHz and the small cores to 3GHz, your PC will perform 20% slower (but a lot of task are not CPU bound, many are disk bound which won't be affected), but it will be 40% cooler. You can also make different power profiles and switch between them if you need to.

Advice me on comparison:
Macbook Pro M1 2020 Vs This one??

Now have both laptop. Bought the Macbook M1 in Jan. At that time I couldn't find a portable laptop with good screen and metal build good keyboard at that price point.
This ASUS laptop has nice screen like Mac pro xdr display and also expandable mem and storage options.
I will try this fist before going for the M1. And feel you can even keep it as man laptop.

Edit- i am setting it up today but the fan is always on unless in whisper mode. All updates done. Not sure will keep it. Yeah looks like they put a desktop processor in a laptop.

Update: on the 3 rd day the fan is not coming up often even in performance mode.
I ordered RAM and another ssd , will try windows 10.
Considering citi extended warranty is going away in Jan its better to buy before that and will see if this is the one or not.

Wanted to upgrade memory but could not open the back cover.
Looks like it uses Torx screws. I am also trying to upgrade since the RAM is not sufficient.

I have this and upgraded the RAM to 40GB. With the fan mode set to whisper quiet it is fairly quiet and cool. I compared it with the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X from Costco (which my friend has) with similar workloads. The Lenovo has two fans and made about the same noise (when set to quiet mode) as this ASUS. The Lenovo's battery life was lower. The ASUS is able to handle a large workload fairly well due to the 40GB of RAM.

Upgrading the RAM is easy. Just open the back and then switch out the RAM. I upgraded the SSD at the same time also. Here is a video about how to open the back:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X52Spwl_Uus

It is for a different Asus 14" laptop, but the process is the same. You don't need to remove the battery to replace the RAM or SSD. The only tricky part in this process is that you need a plastic pry tool to open the back. You can get them for less than $4 on Amazon. This is similar to the one used in the video and costs $3.29 for a 10 pack:

Pretty much any 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM will work fine. Here is one for $77:

Quote from Sigmeister1 :
Does anybody know if a 32GB stick of memory would work in this unit for 40GB total? I know Crucial says 16gb in the open slot is the max, but have also read posts here on SD, that say, often published max is not always true. Anybody know? How could you tell, without putting a 32GB in the slot and turning it on.

I installed 32 Gb RAM of T-create today and it shows 40 now.

Still available at my local Costco. I've been debating between this and the Lenovo Slim 7i at Costco for $799 [costco.com].

Any one have thoughts?

correct me if I am wrong...LPDDR modules are soldered on the device's motherboard and not removable like DIMM modules in computers.

In that case, that lenovo laptop memory isn't upgradable....

Anyone installed OS on a new drive on this laptop ? Iam trying but its unable to find the drive in windows 10 setup.
Update- it was very difficult to install 10, difficulty finding drivers. So went back to 11.

Great point. I'm leaning towards grabbing this ASUS as opposed to the lenovo slim 7i

I purchased this laptop but I'm having issues with bluetooth audio latency. When using headphones there's a full second of delay. I've tested multiple sets of headphones and tried updating the Intel ax211 drivers without any luck. I never had this issue with my m1 Macbook Air. Anyone else having this issue or know how to correct it?
