ROG Zephyrus G16

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.

dont pay 1700 for a 3 month warranty man. thats basically half a new laptop with zero reliability. sell the g16 as parts - with working igpu and screen you could probably get 600-800 on ebay. then put that toward a 2025 model. the 2025 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 runs about 2500 and at least you get full

I made a post for the G16 2026, prices are out in France https://www.reddit.com/r/zephyrusg16/comments/1s52fxw/rog_zephyrus_2026_prices_ouch/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Prices are crazy man, I guess the G14 will be super expensive too

I see different prices in NL / EU, so they maybe country specific? A lot cheaper. However, still way to expansive. 5999,- for 5090 / 64gb is absurd. The 2026 razer variant is 1000,- cheaper. https://rog.asus.com/nl/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g16-2026/spec/

Like 4.6K ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) 5090 Ultra core 9 Yes I make horrible financial decisions...

Sadly they relisted it at $4319 lol. https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/gaming-laptops/284554/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-16-ultra-9-285h-rtx-5070-ti-64gb-2tb-win11pro-gu605cr-xs98-ca.html
