Reviews for the Asus ROG Strix G16 G615
The new Asus ROG Strix G16 is available with the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU at most, but this won't much of a problem when gaming. The Strix G16 represents a good gaming package with a matte IPS display, a fast Core Ultra 9 275 HX, and very good maintenance options.

The ROG Strix G16 has a lot to offer, as it should for the asking price. It might be notably cheaper than its bigger brother, but its starting price of R50,000 is still a lot of money. If you want the high-end specs, that price will climb to R78,000. But it shouldn’t be a surprise that a high-end gaming laptop like this costs a lot of money. It houses some of the most performant chips on the market, a decent (if not the best you can get) high-refresh-rate IPS display, and features many quality-of-life features (like the toolless bottom tray) that help to justify its price. Whether it’s ‘worth it’ is relative, but it’s at least something to consider.

In a way, this laptop demonstrates how RTX 5080-powered notebooks should handle power delivery. Blackwell is demanding in terms of wattage but also delivers high FPS, and cheaper models tend to lose performance if their power limits aren’t adequate. Fortunately, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615 doesn’t overlook this. Meanwhile, the company hasn’t overlooked practical and useful features like quick access to the SSD and SO-DIMM slots, Thunderbolt 5 support, three cooling fans, and a range of software advantages. Overall, if you’re prepared to accept the generally high price of laptops equipped with an RTX 5080, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615 comes recommended.
