Full description and specifications

An RTX 5080 with 16GB of GDDR7 running at 175W, in a 16-inch body you can still put in a backpack. This is the practical top of the range.

Quick Specs

  • Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 24 cores, up to 5.4GHz
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 16GB GDDR7, 175W
  • 32GB DDR5-5600, 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
  • 16" 2.5K (2560 x 1600) IPS-level, G-Sync with MUX switch
  • Windows 11 Home, 3 year ASUS warranty

16GB of VRAM is the headline

Double the RTX 5070 Ti and twice again what every 8GB card in this collection carries. That is what lets this machine run native 2.5K with ray tracing on, drive a 4K external monitor without compromise, and handle the large scenes and high-resolution timelines that make VRAM the first thing creative work runs out of. Paired with 32GB of system memory, nothing here is starved.

The sensible comparison

Against the 18-inch Strix G18 with the RTX 5070 Ti at R61 999: this costs R6 000 more, gives up two inches of screen, and gains 4GB of VRAM and a meaningfully faster GPU in a body 600 grams lighter. If the laptop moves, take this one. If it lives on a desk and you want the bigger panel, take the G18.

Questions

Before you buy

What is inside this laptop?
RTX 5080 16GB graphics, 32GB DDR5 of memory and a 16" 2.5K 240Hz display. The full configuration, including storage and ports, is in the Specifications section above.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
It varies by model - some laptops have sockets you can reach behind a service panel, others solder the memory to the board. Whatever this one supports is listed under Specifications, and opening the machine yourself can affect the warranty. Ask us before you buy an upgrade and we will confirm what will fit.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
