Asus releases new 16-inch gaming laptop in the US with 140 W GPU and 1,100-nit OLED display
Four and a half months have passed since Asus refreshed the ROG Zephyrus G16 with Intel Panther Lake processors. Announced in January during CES 2026, the new ROG Zephyrus G16 also surpassed its 2025 predecessor (curr. $2,329 on Amazon) with a 1,100-nit OLED display. Core features like a 1600p and 240 Hz refresh rate remain unchanged though, as did the 90 Wh battery found in older models.
Initially, Asus did not reveal how much its new 16-inch gaming laptop would cost. However, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti variant has now gone on sale in the US. Equipped with a Core Ultra 9 386H processor, the entry-level SKU also features 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. While a GeForce RTX 5080 model with 64 GB of RAM should be available, it seems that a GeForce RTX 5090 equivalent may not.
To recap, Asus' 2025 edition started at $2,799 with the same GPU and a Core Ultra 9 285H processor. By contrast, this year's model costs $3,699. For that $900 uplift, the ROG Zephyrus G16 can now deliver 20 W more to its GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU than its predecessor.
Moreover, Asus supports this 140 W GPU with a new 250 W power adapter. Orders placed before July 31 are eligble to claim a copy of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, too. Please see the company's website for more details.
