ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (GU605CM) is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 video memory. It pairs 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and runs Windows 11 Home. The 2.5K OLED display combines a 240Hz refresh rate with G-Sync, Dolby Vision HDR support and 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage, so fast-moving games stay smooth and photo or video edits are shown with accurate, Pantone Validated colour. A MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus handles switching between the integrated and dedicated graphics. At 1,850 g and between 1.49 and 1.64 cm thick, it suits gamers and creators who need to carry their machine. Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 FRL, Wi-Fi 7 and a UHS-II SD card reader cover external monitors, fast wireless networking and moving footage straight off a camera.
