Platinum White 16″ OLED gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CW-XS98 is a 16-inch gaming laptop finished in Platinum White. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor with 16 cores and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz. The 240 Hz OLED panel delivers a 2560 x 1600 resolution for fast, high-contrast visuals.

64 GB LPDDR5X and 16 TB NVMe for heavy workloads

This configuration suits users who need 64 GB of onboard LPDDR5X memory at 7467 MT/s and 16 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage across two 8 TB drives. It is less suited to buyers who prefer user-replaceable memory modules or a smaller storage footprint to reduce cost.

RTX 5080 with 16 GB GDDR7 graphics

The discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU provides 16 GB of GDDR7 video memory. This single specification determines whether the laptop meets the graphical performance and VRAM capacity required for the intended gaming or creative workload.

Questions about this item

Will the 13.94" x 9.69" chassis fit in a standard 16-inch laptop sleeve?

The chassis measures 13.94" wide by 9.69" deep and ranges from .59" to .65" thick, so it fits most sleeves made for 16-inch laptops.

Does the pre-applied Gelid GC Extreme on the RTX 5080 require any extra steps during first boot?

The thermal compound is applied at the factory; no user action is needed — just power on and let Windows 11 Pro complete its initial setup.

Can the 64 GB LPDDR5X memory be upgraded later?

The 64 GB LPDDR5X 7467 memory is soldered to the board and cannot be increased, but the two M.2 slots holding the 8 TB NVMe SSDs remain accessible for storage expansion.
