Full description and specifications

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8GB GDDR7, 105W

  • Windows 11 Pro, 3 year ASUS warranty

What you are actually paying for

Not frames. The RTX 5060 here runs at 105W in a chassis 1.5cm thick, and a Strix with the same GPU will beat it. You are paying for the OLED panel, the 1.85kg weight, the 90Wh battery, the four-speaker system, Thunderbolt 4, and a machine that does not announce itself as a gaming laptop in a meeting. It is the ROG for people whose laptop is their only computer.

The OLED

2560 x 1600, 240Hz, 100% DCI-P3. OLED means true blacks and per-pixel contrast, which is transformative in dark games and genuinely useful for grading video. The usual OLED caveats apply - static interface elements left on screen for many hours at high brightness are the thing to be mindful of over years, not months.

Worth knowing before you buy

The 16GB of LPDDR5X is soldered to the board. There is no expansion, ever. If you know you need 32GB, this configuration is not the one to buy - tell us and we will look at what else is available in the range. The 1TB SSD is a standard M.2 and can be replaced.

  • 16" 2.5K OLED at 240Hz, 100% DCI-P3
  • Intel Core Ultra 9 285H with AI Boost NPU up to 13 TOPS

  • 90Wh battery in a 1.85kg, 1.49-1.64cm chassis
  • Four-speaker system with dual-force woofers, Dolby Atmos
  • Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 FRL, SD card reader (UHS-II), Wi-Fi 7
  • Windows 11 Pro, not Home

Questions

Before you buy

What is inside this laptop?
RTX 5060 105W graphics, 16GB LPDDR5X of memory and a 16" OLED 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?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
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.
