GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR7; ROG Boost 1610 MHz at 115 W (100 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

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.

ASUS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU; 12 GB GDDR7; ROG Boost 1565 MHz; 140 W (115 W TGP + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

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.

ASUS
Display16-inch FHD+ 16:10 (1920 × 1200) IPS-level, anti-glare; 165 Hz; 3 ms; 100% sRGB

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.

ASUS
16-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600) IPS-level panel; 240 Hz; 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync

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

ASUS
Memory16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 64 GB, dual-channel capable

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.

ASUS
DDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots

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

ASUS
Storage512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots

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.

ASUS
Two M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD slots

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

ASUS
Ports3 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbit/s); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbit/s, DisplayPort, power delivery, G-Sync); 1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, power delivery); HDMI 2.1 FRL; RJ45; 3.5 mm audio

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

ASUS
On all versions 3 × USB-A 10 Gb/s, HDMI 2.1 FRL, 3.5 mm audio jack; plus layout A: USB-C 10 Gb/s (DisplayPort and charging), Thunderbolt 4, RJ45 Ethernet; layout B: 2 × Thunderbolt 5, 2.5G Ethernet

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

CoolingEnd-to-end vapor chamber, sandwiched heatsink, tri-fan; Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the CPU

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.

ASUS
End-to-end vapor chamber, three fans; liquid metal on the CPU, and on the GPU only on the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti versions

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

ASUS
Service accessTool-less bottom access to RAM, SSD and fans

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

Battery and power90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 280 W adapter (20 V, 14 A)

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

ASUS
90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 280 W or 380 W adapter; 100 W charging over USB-C

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