ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CR-XS97

Hey OP - I just checked the Asus US site and I do see the 5080 SKU listed now. But damn, its 4800... yea I'm wondering if they were better off not listing it given I can't imagine ANYONE is paying almost 5K for a 5080 14inch + 1TB SSD laptop when just last year $4K got you a 5090 + 64GB RAM + 2TB in

Yap, a disappointment indeed. I imagine that now with the prices out a lot of the previous gen stock will sell out, as the price is way more competitive as of now. For the potential price of the 2026 RTX 5070ti model in Asus page (even $100 less) you can get the 2025 RTX 5080 with 64GB RAM and 2TB S

https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g16-2026/spec/ Guys, 5070ti (granted with 64gb of ram) on U.S. E-Store is listed at $3700. 5080 at $4800. They’re literally insane. They finally made the laptop perfect, then decided to charge double the sale price of 2025 models.

Asus Zephyrus g16 If u like portable thin laptop with Nvidia gpu go for the Asus Zephyrus g16 It will have mostly everything that a gbu 6 have sns the asus will not have fingerprint and haptic track pad and they both will be oled but asus g16 will not have touchscreen screen. But it will have option

If you don't need it for portability, might a smaller format desktop be a good option? As in a mini-ATX or even micro ATX formfactor. If you want a "beast" computer, a laptop is generally not the way to go. I know you said budget is not an issue, but laptops that run that well will set you back a co

I just received the 2025 model from Best Buy about 5 days ago. I got that model because of the price drop. I returned to the site and there was a price match button. The price went down again since I bought it and they refunded me $50. Nice! I’ve had no problems with the issues I’ve been reading abo

Right now the lowest I’ve found and I’ve been referring is this- https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-16-2-5k-oled-240hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-ultra-9-285h-16gb-ram-nvidia-rtx-5070-1tb-ssd-eclipse-gray/JJGGLHJXQK I ordered mine May 4th and got it on the 5th. I needed a new music

The price of this laptop is absurd. I'll be selling a new, sealed ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 16 Intel Core Ultra 9 - 64GB RTX 5090 - 2TB SSD and moving to a framework 13 pro...

i feel you on this decision - those specs are close. for solidworks and autocad, that 64gb ram on the 2025 model will matter more than the cpu bump on the 2026. those engineering apps eat memory especially with assemblies. the 5090 also crushes the 5070 ti for elden ring and bg3 at higher settings.
