Specification	ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615LM-BS73-CB (Core Ultra 7 255HX, RTX 5060)	MSI Titan 18 HX AI A2XWJG-070
Release year	2025	2025
Processor	Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX; 20 cores / 20 threads, 2.4 GHz base, up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 13 TOPS) ASUS	Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX; 24 cores, up to 5.5 GHz, 36 MB cache MSI says OverBoost Ultra can allocate up to 270 W combined to the CPU and GPU; the actual figure depends on the application. MSI
Graphics	NVIDIA 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 5090 Laptop GPU; 24 GB GDDR7 The laptop version does not share the desktop RTX 5090’s configuration or power, so its performance is not the same either. MSI
Display	16-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	18-inch, 16:10, 3840 × 2400 (UHD+), 120 Hz, Mini LED, anti-glare MSI lists VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and about 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Mini LED splits the backlight into zones, deepening blacks in dark scenes, though a faint halo can appear around bright objects. MSI
Memory	16 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	96 GB DDR5-6400 (2 × 48 GB); 2 SO-DIMM slots, 96 GB maximum This configuration ships at MSI’s stated maximum; both slots are filled, so memory cannot be added, only swapped. MSI
Storage	512 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	6 TB total: 1 × 2 TB PCIe 5.0 and 2 × 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs MSI lists four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4. This SKU ships with three drives; MSI mentions Super RAID 5 support. MSI
Ports	3 × 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	—
Wireless	Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) triple band 2 × 2; Bluetooth 5.4 ASUS	Wi-Fi 7 (Intel Killer BE1750), Bluetooth 5.4 MSI
Cooling	End-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	Vapor chamber A vapor chamber spreads heat over a wide surface, helping the CPU and GPU sustain high power for longer. MSI
Service access	Tool-less bottom access to RAM, SSD and fans The rest of the motherboard is covered by a screwed-down protective frame. ASUS	—
Battery and power	90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 280 W adapter (20 V, 14 A) Whether the adapter is included can vary by country and model. ASUS	—
Keyboard, camera and audio	Backlit 4-zone RGB keyboard with Copilot key; 1080p IR camera for Windows Hello; 2-speaker system with Smart Amp, Dolby Atmos; Aura Sync light bar ASUS	—
Operating system	Windows 11 Home ASUS	Windows 11 Pro MSI
Size and weight	35.4 × 26.8 × 2.28–3.08 cm; 2.65 kg ASUS	404 × 308 × 32 mm (without feet); 3.6 kg MSI
GPU power limit	—	Up to 175 W with Dynamic Boost; boost clock up to 2,160 MHz Dynamic Boost shifts spare power to the GPU when the processor draws less; 175 W is the upper limit for this laptop GPU. MSI
Thunderbolt	—	2 × Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort 2.1, up to 140 W charging over USB-PD 3.1) USB-C charging is capped at 140 W; MSI recommends a 65–140 W USB-PD adapter. Full performance needs the included 400 W adapter. MSI
