It says "up to 7500mhz" on the Asus website.
I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death. Averaging about 5+ per day!
The Geek Squad "FIXED it" THREE times, but shortly after I got it home, same thing, BSOD!
Sent it into the Asus service center, & when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4-min.
They said the warranty does NOT include any replacements or refunds.
I will never buy another Asus product.
And I will also avoid buying anything from Best Buy.
PS - This is the one I bought:

April 25 EDIT: I talked to the Best Buy store manager yesterday, hoping that they could step up & help a loyal customer out. Nope! But he did take this opportunity to tell me that I should have bought their ($180) Total membership plan (within 1 or 2 weeks of purchase), so that I **might** have been eligible to have gotten store credit or exchange.
No, I don't think I will.
PS - Asus has a D- rating at the Better Business Bureau - Failure to respond to 83 complaint(s) filed against business

It's worth noting the picture for this still appears to be wrong: the S15 is the one with the chin, where the S16 has no chin.

You gotta be an HP or Dell rep or something man… you've posted this on like 4 different Asus laptop posts. Sucks you got a crap one but they do have return policies. Stress test and return if they break
Are you reading my whole comment? Asus is the one who said NO REFUND, NO REPLACEMENT, UNTIL They Deem it UNFIXABLE.But they won't tell me when that will be.
PS - Before my Dell, I had an HP for a long time. But both were crappy enough that I tried to buy another brand. Get it?!
Wake up, EIGHTY-THREE Asus COMPLAINTS at BBB ! It's Not Just ME.
One BIOS update [reddit.com] messed with some people's stability and got rolled back for a while, but it seemed fine on my unit.

You also might look up the Lemon Law in your state and inform ASUS they might be violating it.
I just went through a repair of my new ASUS Zenbook S 16, which was repaired by BB themselves at their repair depot. They replaced the screen with a new one and everything is great now. It was done quickly and with good communication.
