This one has already chosen: it ships with double the memory of almost everything else in this collection, behind Intel's fastest previous-generation mobile chip. For video editing, running virtual machines, large Lightroom catalogues, or simply having forty browser tabs open while a render finishes, that combination does more real work than a faster GPU would. Games run well - the RTX 5060 at 115W handles 1440p on the native 2.5K panel - but they are not what this build is optimised for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe i9-14900HX is a 14th-generation part, not the newest Core Ultra. It is still one of the fastest mobile CPUs ASUS ships and it costs less than the current generation, which is why this configuration lands at R49 999 with 32GB. It draws more power and runs hotter than a Core Ultra equivalent; the Strix cooling handles it, but this is not a quiet machine under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32GB DDR5 fitted from the factory, expandable to 64GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Core i9-14900HX, 24 cores \/ 32 threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRTX 5060 with 8GB GDDR7 at 115W, DLSS 4 multi frame generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16\" 2.5K 16:10 display with G-Sync and MUX switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90Wh battery, Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 FRL, RJ45 LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePer-key RGB keyboard, 1080p IR camera for Windows Hello\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS ROG Strix G16 (G615JMR-I93210G0W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessor: Intel Core i9-14900HX (24 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.8GHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8GB GDDR7, 115W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 32GB DDR5 (2 slots, to 64GB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay: 16\" 2.5K 2560 x 1600 IPS-level anti-glare, G-Sync with MUX switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery: 90Wh, 4-cell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless: Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 2.65kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating system: Windows 11 Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASUS ROG Strix G16 laptop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA three-year warranty on a machine you intend to earn money with is worth more than a benchmark.
