Lenovo LOQ 15 (15AHP11) / ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) GU605CX

The same LOQ 15AHP11 platform has other model codes for other regions and with other CPU, GPU and display options; this record covers only the 83TN00ALUS row.

The processor’s Intel AI Boost NPU delivers up to 13 TOPS of AI processing; some Windows AI features use this unit instead of the graphics card.

Lenovo does not list a separate integrated GPU clock for this model code.

TGP is the GPU’s total power limit; on its own it does not decide sustained gaming performance.

Lenovo lists Advanced Optimus among the key features of the platform’s display options; it is not repeated in this model row’s display line.

Advanced Optimus switches the internal display between the processor’s integrated graphics and the RTX 5090 without a restart. The MUX switch connects the display directly to the RTX 5090, removing the integrated graphics from the path in games.

Lenovo’s platform document also lists a 400-nit / 180 Hz WQXGA option; this model row is the 300-nit / 165 Hz WUXGA panel.

240 Hz shows up to 240 frames per second in games; G-Sync matches the display refresh rate to the graphics card’s frame rate to prevent tearing. Pantone Validated means the display colours are verified against Pantone reference colours. ASUS does not give brightness or response time on this page.

Memory is socketed; Lenovo’s stated maximum, based on current Lenovo memory offerings, is 32 GB.

Memory cannot be upgraded later; the capacity chosen at purchase is permanent.

The second M.2 slot allows an extra SSD. ASUS gives no separate PCIe generation for the free slot.

Lenovo ships only single-SSD configurations; the second slot is for user expansion. The document lists the slots as M.2 2280 and the SSD as M.2 2242.

On the USB-C port, Lenovo’s 140 W (20 V / 7 A) charging protocol needs a dedicated Lenovo adapter.

Bluetooth may run at a lower version than the hardware, depending on the operating system and driver.

Lenovo’s maximum battery life claims in the platform document are 8.5 hours (MobileMark 30) and 13.9 hours (local 1080p video); these are manufacturer tests.

Whether the adapter is included depends on the country.

The force-cancelling woofer layout uses opposing drivers to reduce bass vibration passing into the chassis.

The platform document also lists a 24-zone RGB option; this row lists single-zone.

Height does not include the 1.7 mm bump.

Based on Lenovo lab results; varies with component source.

The platform document also lists Eclipse Black and Surge Green.

The platform document also lists Windows 11 Pro and no-OS options.

120 W is the upper power limit including Dynamic Boost: the extra 20 W is shifted to the GPU when the processor load is low and is not always available. The RTX 5070 Ti version of the same chassis is limited to 115 W, and the RTX 5060 and 5070 versions to 105 W.

The coating is used to reduce reflections from lamps and windows in bright rooms.

Both USB-C ports support an external display and charging; the 10 Gbps USB-C port also carries G-SYNC to an external display. ASUS does not state the USB-C charging power.

ASUS’s Middle East page also lists a 100 W USB-C adapter in the box and notes that the adapter can vary by region and model.

The IR camera enables face sign-in with Windows Hello.

The RTX 5060 and 5070 versions are 1.64 cm and 1.85 kg; the RTX 5070 Ti, 5080 and 5090 versions are 1.74 cm and 1.95 kg.
