16-inch 2.5K 240Hz Gaming Laptop
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency. It pairs that CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card carrying 8GB of GDDR7 video memory. A 2560 x 1600 IPS-level panel running at 240 Hz covers 100 % DCI-P3 colour. The system ships with 64GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD.
Suits competitive players.
This configuration targets competitive gamers and content creators who need high refresh rates, wide colour coverage and multi-threaded processor performance in a single chassis. The 5.84-pound weight and 0.9-inch profile make it less appropriate for users who prioritise all-day portability or silent operation in quiet offices. Buyers wanting a smaller screen or longer battery life away from mains power should consider alternative form factors.
240 Hz QHD+ panel decides the fit
The 16-inch 2560 x 1600 display running at 240 Hz with a 3 ms response time is the specification that determines whether this laptop matches a workflow. Esports titles and fast-paced shooters benefit directly from the refresh rate, while colour-critical work relies on the 100 % DCI-P3 coverage. If the primary use involves static productivity at 60 Hz, the panel’s speed and colour gamut become secondary to other factors.

Questions about this item
What external display can I connect to the HDMI 2.1 port on this ROG Strix G16?
The HDMI 2.1 port supports an external monitor up to 4K resolution at high refresh rates, delivering the same 2560 x 1600 WQXGA quality as the built-in 16" 2.5K panel.
Will my existing USB-A 3.2 peripherals work with the three USB-A 3.2 ports on this laptop?
Yes, the three USB-A 3.2 ports are backward compatible with earlier USB-A devices, so current mice, keyboards and drives will function without adapters.
How can I verify the 240 Hz refresh rate is active on the 16" 2.5K screen after setup?
Open Windows 11 Pro display settings, choose the internal 2560 x 1600 panel and confirm the refresh-rate dropdown shows 240 Hz; the NVIDIA control panel will also report the active rate.
