ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16

ASUS publishes the RTX 5080's power as 135W base and 160W manual mode, a real 25W swing you can toggle in Armoury Crate. The Core Ultra 9 386H's sustained wattage under combined CPU and GPU load has not been independently measured for this SKU, so treat any all-core benchmark you see online with that caveat.

RAM: no. All 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 is soldered to the board, so buy the capacity you need today. Storage: yes. Two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, one shipping with a 1TB drive and one free for a second SSD.

The 16-inch 2.5K OLED panel runs at 240Hz, which is high enough that response time rather than refresh rate is the limiting factor for competitive play. OLED also means genuine per-pixel black levels for the creator work this chassis is built for.

At 1.95kg this is heavier than a thin-and-light but light for a 16-inch RTX 5080 machine. Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 7 are both present; the 250W adapter reflects how much power the CPU and GPU can draw together under load.

The 90Wh battery is large for this class, but ASUS has not published a light-load runtime figure for this configuration. A GPU capable of drawing 160W will drain any battery quickly under gaming load regardless of capacity.
