ASUS ROG Strix G16 16" 2.5K 240Hz Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5070 32GB 512GB gaming laptop

Purpose-built gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is a 16-inch Windows 11 gaming laptop powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24-core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It targets players and creators who need high frame rates on a 2.5K 240Hz IPS-level panel with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and a 3ms response time. The system ships with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD.

Check your workflow and peripherals

Verify that your external monitors can accept a 2560 x 1600 signal over HDMI 2.1 or the Thunderbolt 4 port, and that any docking station supports the USB-C 3.2 and USB-A 3.2 connectors provided. The RJ45 LAN port handles wired networking, while Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 cover wireless needs. Confirm that your software licences transfer to a fresh Windows 11 Home installation and that the 512GB PCIe SSD capacity fits your active project library before ordering.

Chassis, ports and daily use

The Eclipse Gray chassis measures 13.94 x 10.55 x 0.9 inches and weighs 5.84 pounds, making it a substantial but portable desktop replacement. A full-size backlit keyboard and precision touchpad handle long sessions, while the 16:10 anti-glare display reduces reflections in bright rooms. The port layout — HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4, USB-C 3.2, three USB-A 3.2 and RJ45 — keeps cables organised at the rear and sides, so a mouse, headset and wired network stay plugged in without blocking the screen hinge.
