Asus releases new 16-inch gaming laptop in North America with up to 64 GB RAM
Asus has quietly started selling the ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) in North America as a replacement for the 2025 models we have already reviewed (curr. $2,799 on Amazon). For context, the company unveiled its new 16-inch laptop in January during CES 2026. However, it waited until the end of March before confirming how much the ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) GU606 would cost in the UK.
Now, it has followed suit by revealing the prices of two SKUs that will be available in the US. Currently, Asus states that the ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) GU606 will start at $3,699 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Inexplicably, configuring the laptop with 64 GB of RAM increases its price to $4,799 while making no other changes.
For the time being, Asus has not confirmed how much high-tier models will cost in the US. The company charges CAD 6,999 (~$5,099) for a GeForce RTX 5080 with 64 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage, though. Meanwhile, the ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) GU606 runs to CAD 7,699 (~$5,610) with a GeForce RTX 5090 and the same amount of RAM.
Asus is not selling any GeForce RTX 5090-powered models in Canada at the time of publication. Conversely, GeForce RTX 5060, GeForce RTX 5070, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and GeForce RTX 5080 models are available. Asus has priced these variants as follows in Canada:
- Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD - CAD 3,099 (~$2,986)
- Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD - CAD 4,299 (~$3,132)
- Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD - CAD 4,999 (~$3,643)
- Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD - CAD 6,999 (~$5,099)
