Specification	GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER 16 AM6H (BYHC5USE64SH)	ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023) G614JV
Release year	2025	2023
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 16 GB GDDR7; up to 175 W graphics power including Dynamic Boost; up to 1,902 MHz AI Boost clock (1,702 + 200 MHz OC) 175 W includes the share Dynamic Boost shifts to the GPU when CPU load is low; GIGABYTE notes the figure may vary by scenario. The desktop RTX 5080 is a different card. GIGABYTE	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2420 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost) ASUS adds a 50 MHz factory overclock to NVIDIA’s 2370 MHz. 115 W is the card’s sustained limit; Dynamic Boost shifts 25 W to the GPU when the CPU load is low. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded. ASUS
Hybrid graphics	NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC Advanced Optimus switches the display between integrated graphics and the RTX GPU without a reboot: a direct GPU path in games, battery savings in light work. GIGABYTE	—
Processor	Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX; 24 cores / 24 threads, 36 MB cache, up to 5.4 GHz GIGABYTE	Intel Core i9-13980HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.6 GHz, 36 MB cache Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s cooling determines the real sustained power. ASUS
Display	16-inch 16:10 OLED, 2560 × 1600 (WQXGA), 240 Hz, 1 ms; 100% DCI-P3; 500 nits peak; 1,000,000:1 contrast; glossy surface 240 Hz shows motion more clearly in fast games and puts the RTX 5080’s high frame rates on screen; 500 nits is an HDR peak, not sustained full-screen brightness. GIGABYTE	ROG Nebula: 16-inch QHD+ 16:10 (2560 × 1600), IPS-level, anti-glare; 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated G-Sync matches the display refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 means it covers the cinema colour space; Pantone validation refers to factory colour calibration. ASUS
Display certifications	VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, VESA ClearMR 10000, Dolby Vision, Pantone Validated, TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light True Black 500 certifies HDR peak brightness of 500 nits together with OLED’s deep blacks; ClearMR 10000 is a motion-clarity tier. GIGABYTE	—
Memory	DDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 64 GB Memory is not soldered. The BYHC5USE64SH ships with 2 × 16 GB, so both slots are filled and upgrading means swapping modules. GIGABYTE	32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 32 GB, dual channel The modules are replaceable, but ASUS gives 32 GB as the maximum for this model; both slots come filled. ASUS
Storage	PCIe NVMe M.2; one PCIe Gen5 and one PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 slot, up to 4 TB A second SSD can be added. The Gen5 slot gives higher sequential speeds with a compatible Gen5 SSD; which slot the factory SSD uses can vary by configuration. GIGABYTE	2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots The second M.2 slot is for an additional SSD. ASUS
Left ports	DC-in; RJ-45 1 Gbit LAN; HDMI 2.1; USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2); USB-C Thunderbolt 5 (USB4, DisplayPort 2.1, Power Delivery 3.0) The Thunderbolt 5 port suits high-bandwidth external SSDs, docks and DisplayPort 2.1 monitors; HDMI 2.1 supports high-refresh TVs and monitors. GIGABYTE	—
Right ports	USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2); USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (USB4, DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery 3.0); microSD card reader (UHS-II); 3.5 mm headphone/mic combo The two USB-C ports differ in speed and display version; for a high-resolution external display the left Thunderbolt 5 port is the better choice. GIGABYTE	—
Wireless	Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be, 2×2); Bluetooth 5.4 GIGABYTE	Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) triple-band 2 × 2; Bluetooth 5.2 ASUS
