ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615LR

The ROG Strix G16 G615LR is the Intel, RTX 5070 Ti version of ASUS’s 2025 gaming laptop. It offers the Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, a 12 GB GDDR7 graphics card drawing up to 140 W, a 240 Hz 2.5K display and a tool-less bottom panel. In independent testing the RTX 5080 version of the same chassis was liked for its bright screen and easy service access, while loud fans in games, no PCIe 5.0 and the plastic chassis were criticised. No verifiable owner reviews were found for this version.

The G615LR version of the ROG Strix G16 (2025) family: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. G16 versions with RTX 5060, 5070, 5080 or AMD processors and the 18-inch Strix G18 are separate.

Specifications

SpecificationValue
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 9 275HX (24 cores / 24 threads)
GraphicsNVIDIA 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.

GPU switchingMUX switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to cut latency in games; Advanced Optimus makes that switch without a restart.

MemoryDDR5-5600; two SO-DIMM slots

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

StorageTwo 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.

Display16-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.

PortsOn 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.

WirelessWi-Fi 7 (2 × 2, tri-band); Bluetooth 5.4
Battery and power90 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.

CoolingEnd-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.

Service accessTool-less bottom panel; access to RAM, SSD and fans
Camera and audio1080p IR camera; Dolby Atmos
Size and weight35.4 × 26.8 × 2.28–3.08 cm; 2.65 kg
Operating systemWindows 11 Home

Strengths and limitations

  • On Notebookcheck’s unit in the same chassis with the RTX 5080 (175 W), the 2.5K display averaged 536 nits with 1329:1 contrast; response times were 6.1 ms (black-white) and 4.6 ms (grey-grey), no PWM flicker was seen, and there is no HDR support. The processor ran in Turbo mode stepping down from 175 W to 150 W. Fan noise peaked at 36.1 dB in Silent, 49.3 dB in Performance and 54.2 dB in Turbo. The slide-locked bottom panel gave easy access to two SSD slots, two memory slots and the cooling. Cons included loud fans in games, no PCIe 5.0, no rear ports and a plastic chassis.

    Notebookcheck, Andreas Osthoff, 30 April 2025; Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5080 Laptop (175 W), 32 GB, 1 TB. The GPU is different; gaming performance and fan noise may differ on the RTX 5070 Ti version; display, chassis and service-access findings apply to the same chassis.
