Victory, accelerated.
The Strix G16 features an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 275HX boasting up to a 65W TDP with 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores, paired with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU (1334 AI TOPS) with a max TGP of 175W, ensuring flawless AAA gaming experiences while making resource-intensive tasks like programming and rendering effortless and seamless.
Game with confidence thanks to Windows 11 Home and Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 275HX. Backed up by the serious gaming muscle of NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU and 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, the 2025 Strix G18 has the perfect amount of power to keep you gaming at peak performance. With additional features like NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, the latest DLSS 4 enhancements, a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, the Strix G16 is truly a force to be reckoned with.
We’ve completely revamped the cooling solution of the 2025 Strix G16 to ensure that you get the best gaming experience with your machine, every time. We’ve relocated all of the exhaust vents to the rear of the hinge, keeping warm air away from your mousing hand. The sides and bottom of the machine act as an air intake, creating a natural, efficient path for airflow. Air also flows through the keyboard deck, keeping your hands cooler during intense gaming sessions. When pairing an end-to-end vapor chamber with a sandwiched heatsink, Tri-Fan Technology, and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both CPU & GPU, the 2025 Strix G16 achieves a lower noise level in Turbo Mode compared to the previous generation, while still offering the same calculated excellence you expect from a Strix machine.
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix G16 boasts an ultra-fast 2.5K 240Hz Nebula display with a 3ms response time, ensuring you’ll always get the jump on your opponent. A 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, the Strix G16 has incredible color accuracy with pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights. We’ve also added a brand new ACR (Ambient Contrast Ratio) film, with two layers that cut down on glare to increase contrast for more vibrant visuals, as well as improving off-angle viewing for when you might have a spectator.
