ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615LM-BS73-CB (Core Ultra 7 255HX, RTX 5060) / Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX9H (83DE0005US)

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.

175 W is the highest total graphics power Lenovo allows in this model; going above NVIDIA’s 60–150 W base range for the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU relies on Dynamic Boost 2.0. The desktop RTX 4080 is a different product.

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.

DisplayHDR 400 is VESA’s entry-level HDR tier; it does not require local dimming, so HDR looks less striking than on OLED or Mini LED. 240 Hz and G-SYNC give smooth, tear-free motion in fast games. Lenovo notes that “IPS” may also cover similar panel types such as PLS, ADS and AHVA.

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.

This configuration ships with a single module, so memory runs single-channel until a matching module is added to the second slot. Lenovo’s 32 GB limit is based on the modules it has tested.

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.

PCIe 4.0 x4 allows up to 8 GB/s in theory; real speed depends on the SSD. There is no card reader.

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

140 W charging over USB-C needs Lenovo’s own adapter; other adapters may deliver less. Up to four independent displays including the internal one are supported; Lenovo lists up to 4K/60 Hz for external outputs. Ethernet is 1 Gbit/s, not 2.5G, and supports Wake-on-LAN.

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.

Liquid metal transfers heat between the chip and cooler more efficiently than standard paste, which makes servicing more delicate.

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

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

Lenovo says Super Rapid Charge reaches 30% in 10 minutes, 70% in 30 minutes and 100% in 80 minutes. 99.9 Wh sits just under the usual airline battery limit. Lenovo quotes 10.4 hours of 1080p video playback at 150 nits.
