16-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 targets competitive players who need high frame rates on a 16.0 inch QHD+ panel. An Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency drives the system alongside an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU equipped with 8GB GDDR7 memory. 32GB DDR5 and a 1TB PCIe SSD complete the core specification for modern titles.
Sustained load behaviour
The 24-core processor combines 8 performance and 16 efficient cores to maintain throughput during extended sessions. A 36MB cache helps keep data close to the execution units when clock speeds settle under thermal limits. The RTX 5070 GDDR7 frame buffer feeds the 240Hz display without exhausting video memory in current 1440p workloads.
Build and connectivity
The chassis measures 13.94 x 10.55 x .9 inches and weighs 5.84 pounds in Eclipse Gray finish. Ports include one HDMI 2.1, one Thunderbolt 4, one USB-C 3.2, three USB-A 3.2 and an RJ45 LAN jack for wired networking. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 provide current-generation wireless links, while a 100% DCI-P3 IPS-level panel with 3ms response covers colour-critical work.

Questions about this item
How loud do the fans get when the Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 run at full load all day?
The 24-core processor reaches 5.4 GHz turbo while the RTX 5070 uses 8GB GDDR7, so the cooling system spins up to move heat from both chips; expect audible airflow under sustained gaming or rendering loads.
Which external monitor cables and docks work with the Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1 ports on this laptop?
Thunderbolt 4 drives up to an 8K display or dual 4K screens plus power delivery, while HDMI 2.1 supports 4K at 240 Hz or 8K at 60 Hz using a certified Ultra High Speed cable.
Can I keep using my older USB-A 3.0 mouse, keyboard and external drive on the three USB-A 3.2 ports?
Yes, the three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports are backward compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 devices, so legacy peripherals work at their native speeds without adapters.
