The ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2026) is a 16-inch gaming laptop announced in 2026. Every value below is from ASUS's specification document, re-typed into our own table. A chassis is sold in many configurations, so screen, memory and graphics are listed as the options the maker offers.

*Notes from the document: RTX 5080 models have two Thunderbolt 5 ports, 2.5G Ethernet and a 380 W adapter; the RTX 5070 model has one Thunderbolt 4 plus one USB-C, an RJ45 port of unstated speed and a 280 W adapter. Graphics power includes Dynamic Boost. The panel is described as IPS-level and runs at 240 Hz unless the GPU mode is set to Ultimate. HDMI and the card-reader answer are from ASUS's global spec page for the same model (read 2026-11-14), whose full port list has HDMI 2.1 FRL and no card reader. The keyboard has no keypad; ASUS's "NumberPad" is a number layout lit on the touchpad.*

## Size: will it fit your bag?

Closed, it measures **13.94 × 10.55 in** (35.4 × 26.8 cm) and is 0.9–1.21 in thick. A sleeve or laptop compartment needs inner dimensions at least that large; bag makers size compartments by screen class, and chassis in one class differ, so check the numbers, not the label. We list 12 laptops in the 16-inch class: 13.88–14.35 in wide, 9.35–10.86 in deep and 3.58–5.84 lb. By starting weight the ROG Strix G16 (2026) is the **heaviest** of 12. Full table: [16-inch laptop dimensions](/laptop-sizes/16-inch/).
