While these are the only models Asus is announcing for the US market, it’s worth noting that the company says the laptop can technically be equipped with a display of up to 2880 x 1800 pixels at 120Hz, so we may see this version in some markets.
But for now, it looks like US customers who want a better screen (or Wi-Fi 7 support) may have to opt for an Intel model… or a different laptop.
