With currently two GPU options available for the laptop, users can opt for either the more powerful RTX 4070 or the budget RTX 4060 laptop GPU to meet their requirements. Packed with a fantastic 16-inch ROG Nebula OLED display, boasting a resolution of 2560x1600p, the laptop is ready to deliver vibrant and detailed images. Through an incredibly low response time of 0.2ms and a high refresh rate of 240Hz, gameplay will feel pleasant and will be ready for competitive gaming.
