The short version
The 2026 Zephyrus G16 GU606 uses Intel's Core Ultra 9 386H with GPUs from the RTX 5070 Ti up, a 240 Hz 16-inch OLED panel, up to 64GB of soldered LPDDR5X and a 90 Wh battery. ASUS rates the RTX 5070 Ti at up to 125 W, or 140 W in manual mode. It weighs 1.85 to 1.95 kg depending on configuration. No independent reviews of this generation were read at research time, so gaming expectations here come from maker specifications.

What is the panel resolution?
