- Is the RTX 5090 version worth it over the RTX 5080?
- The 5090 gives more headroom for 1440p-and-above gaming and heavy creative work. If you mostly play at the panel's native resolution with high settings, the 5080 model already performs well and runs cooler in the slim chassis.
- How does it compare with the previous Zephyrus G16?
- The GU606 moves to the Core Ultra 9 and RTX 50-series graphics while keeping the OLED screen and light chassis. Expect better ray tracing and AI performance, with similar portability.
- Does the OLED screen suffer burn-in?
- OLED can develop burn-in with years of static elements like taskbars. ASUS includes OLED care features, and mixed use reduces the risk, but it is not zero.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- The 2 TB SSD is user-replaceable. Memory is soldered on this design, so choose the 32 GB or 40 GB configuration you need at purchase.
- What is in the box?
- The laptop, a power adapter and the usual paperwork. It does not include a mouse or headset.
- Is it good for video editing as well as gaming?
- Yes. The 16-core Core Ultra 9, RTX graphics and color-accurate OLED suit editing and color work, though long renders will throttle more than a thicker workstation.
