For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Brighter 240 Hz OLED
  • Efficient new processor
  • Slim and light for the power
  • Excellent display
  • Portable
  • OLED screen
  • Speakers

Cons

  • Higher price than last year
  • Only one Thunderbolt port and a microSD reader (per review summary)
  • Steep price rise for a minor update
  • Very high price
  • Price very hard to justify
  • Strix models faster for less
  • Lacklustre keyboard
  • Notebookcheck2026

    Tested GU606AW (Ultra 9 386H, RTX 5080): brighter 240 Hz OLED and an efficient Panther Lake chip make it one of the best slim gaming laptops, though pricier than before.

  • Gadgets360 (NDTV Gadgets)Sep 2026

    Indian review: a small update with a big jump in price; screen and portability score high, value scores low.

  • 91mobiles (CG Mag)Jun 2026

    Indian review: lovely OLED, speakers, build and portability; handles video work and AAA games, but the price is steep (ASUS offers bank discounts and EMI).

  • Times of IndiaJul 2026

    Indian review: can replace both a work laptop and a home gaming PC, but a thicker ROG Strix gives more performance for far less money.

  • Tom's GuideJul 2026

    Fixes the 2025 model's weak battery life (about 14 hours in their test headline) but keeps an average keyboard and a heavy proprietary charger.

  • PC GamerAug 2026

    Good machine, but the Razer Blade 16 offers almost the same for noticeably less; wait for discounts.

  • Ultrabook ReviewMay 2026

    Tested RTX 5080 version: looks like a small update but is more versatile, with a brighter OLED, revised cooling and longer runtimes; prices are high.

  • Jarrod'sTechJun 2026

    Rates it the best thin 16-inch gaming laptop, improved over the 2025 model.
