ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615LR / Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 (83F50012US)

The HX series is a desktop-class laptop processor that runs at high sustained power; its Intel AI Boost NPU offers up to 13 TOPS of AI processing.

140 W is the maximum total graphics power; the 25 W Dynamic Boost portion is shifted to the GPU when processor load is low. Real power in games varies with profile and temperature.

TGP is the maximum power the graphics card can draw; 175 W is the highest tier for this GPU. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded. The laptop RTX 5080 is not the same as the desktop RTX 5080.

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to cut latency in games; Advanced Optimus makes that switch without a restart.

Memory is socketed, so it can be upgraded later; the shipped capacity varies by SKU.

The two SO-DIMM slots run in dual channel; Lenovo supports up to 64 GB on the platform.

The shipped SSD capacity varies by SKU; the second slot can be used to add a drive later.

The platform has two M.2 slots, one PCIe 5.0 x4 and one PCIe 4.0 x4, so a second SSD can be added. There is no card reader.

ASUS also lists FHD+ 165 Hz and 300 Hz panel options in the family; check the panel of the specific SKU being bought.

Typical 500 nits SDR and 1,100 nits peak HDR; Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC and X-Rite factory calibration. TÜV Rheinland low blue light and flicker-free certified. The glossy finish boosts contrast but can reflect in bright rooms.

Which layout ships depends on the SKU; ASUS’s table does not split this per model.

HDMI 2.1 outputs up to 8K at 60 Hz, and four displays including the built-in one can be driven. USB-C charging is limited to 95–100 W; full performance needs the 400 W adapter.

USB-C delivers at most 100 W, below what the 280 W or 380 W adapter supplies.

As this version has the RTX 5070 Ti, the GPU also gets liquid metal.

Lenovo’s MobileMark 30 figure is about 2.9 hours at 250 nits; high-power components shorten battery life in gaming laptops.
