Both laptops also offer one-touch access with Windows Hello via an optional fingerprint sensor incorporated into the touchpad. Connectivity options include the reversible USB Type-C port, USB-C 3.1 Gen 1, HDMI output, and a microSD card reader.

The laptops use Fast-charge technology that ensures up to 60% charge in 49 minutes. The pair is also supported by integrated ASUS Battery Health Charging technology, providing safer charging experience, decreasing the battery expansion rate during charging.
