16-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around a 2.5K display running at 240Hz. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU carrying 16GB of GDDR7 memory. The system ships with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD, targeting users who want high frame rates at QHD resolution in a portable form factor.

Sustained load behaviour

Under sustained load the 24-core processor can reach 5.4 GHz turbo while the RTX 5080 maintains output through its 16GB GDDR7 frame buffer. The 36MB cache helps keep data close to the cores during long sessions. Thunderbolt 5 ports and a 2.5G LAN connection provide high-throughput paths for external GPUs or fast storage, reducing bottlenecks when the chassis thermals stabilise.

Installation notes for memory and storage upgrades

The 16GB DDR5 configuration and 1TB PCIe SSD are accessible after removing the base panel, though the manufacturer seal is opened by engineers for upgrade validation. Thunderbolt 5 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports simplify external drive expansion if internal slots are occupied. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 drivers install automatically with Windows 11, while the HDMI 2.1 FRL output requires no extra setup for external displays.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Core Ultra 9 275HX get during all-day loads?

The 24-core CPU can reach 5.4 GHz turbo, so sustained work will spin the fans up and warm the chassis; a cooling pad helps on long sessions.

Which peripherals must I already own to use the 2.5K 240 Hz panel and Thunderbolt 5 ports?

You need a monitor or dock that accepts HDMI 2.1 FRL or Thunderbolt 5 to drive the 2560 x 1600 240 Hz signal, plus any USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A devices you want to plug into the three 10 Gbps ports.

Will my older USB 3.0 drives and HDMI 1.4 monitor work with the 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and HDMI 2.1 FRL ports?

Yes, the three Type-A ports and the HDMI 2.1 FRL port are backward compatible, so legacy drives and 1080p displays will function at their rated speeds.
