ASUS ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop 16" 2.5K 240Hz Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5070 64GB 2TB

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.
