Asus ROG Strix G16 2025 review verdict: Good RTX 5080 gaming laptop, but faster Ryzen 9 9955HX is only available with RTX 5070 Ti

[Redaktion]

The new Asus ROG Strix G16 is a fast gaming notebook with an RTX 5080 Laptop, which is an excellent match for the native QHD resolution of its matte IPS panel. However, the 5080 Laptop is only available in combination with the Core Ultra 9 275HX. The faster Ryzen 9 9955HX, on the other hand, has to make do with the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop.

Hasty and misleading statement based on a comparison between two different laptop models.

The author claims that the 9955HX performs slightly better in games based solely on the comparison between the Scar G18 and the Neo 16.

This claim is hasty and misleading.

Just compare the results obtained with the new Legion Pro 7i with the same Neo 16, both with RTX 5080.

In addition, Computer Base tested the same Neo 16 (a fairer comparison than comparing different CPUs in different laptops) with the 275HX and 9955HX and the conclusion is the opposite.
