ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615LM-BS73-CB (Core Ultra 7 255HX, RTX 5060) / ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) GA403UI

24 MB is 8 MB of L2 plus 16 MB of L3 cache. The processor’s integrated Radeon 780M graphics handles light work when Advanced Optimus is active.

115 W is the highest total power the GPU can draw: 15 W of Dynamic Boost is added to the 100 W base limit when the processor is lightly loaded. 1610 MHz is the 1560 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz factory overclock. GPUs in the stronger G615 versions go up to 140 W.

1655 MHz is the 1605 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz ASUS overclock. The 90 W ceiling is lower than RTX 4070 configurations in large 16–18-inch laptops and was chosen for the thin chassis. The GPU cannot be upgraded.

165 Hz means smooth motion up to 165 frames per second; the 3 ms response time describes how fast pixels change colour. The family also includes 2.5K 240 Hz versions; this SKU uses the FHD+ panel.

Each OLED pixel makes its own light, so blacks are fully dark; leaving static images on screen for long periods raises the risk of image retention.

This SKU has a single 16 GB module; adding a second module lets the memory run in dual channel. Memory speed may vary with what the processor supports.

Memory cannot be increased later, so the amount should be chosen at purchase.

Both SSD slots use the screwless Q-Latch retainer. ASUS says both slots are PCIe Gen 5 ready; the bundled SSD is PCIe 4.0.

There is a single M.2 slot, so more capacity means replacing the existing SSD with a larger one.

G-Sync support is listed on the USB-C port, so that is the port to use for variable refresh on an external monitor.

There is no wired Ethernet port; independent testing listed this and the lack of Wi-Fi 7 as drawbacks.

According to ASUS, liquid metal is applied to the GPU only on RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti versions, so this RTX 5060 version has none on the GPU. Hot air exits behind the hinge.

The rest of the motherboard is covered by a screwed-down protective frame.

Whether the adapter is included can vary by country and model.

On battery the GPU runs at a lower limit; full performance needs the 180 W adapter.

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU; Advanced Optimus does this switch without a restart.

Independent testing found the Enter and arrow keys small.
