ASUS is making another big play in the entry-level gaming space—this time with two lightweight, performance-ready laptops that won’t torch your savings. Meet the ASUS Gaming V16 and ASUS Gaming X16: portable, sleek, and powerful enough for both casual grind sessions and full-on competitive bouts. Launched today, May 6, 2025, these machines are clearly built for Filipino gamers on the come-up.
Built to Play. Priced to Win.
The ASUS Gaming V16 and X16 are designed to give aspiring players an affordable way to step into the action. You’re looking at up to an Intel Core 5 Series 2 processor paired with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU with DLSS 4—future-proof enough for next-gen titles, yet efficient enough for your everyday multitasking.
With up to 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD storage, these laptops don’t just load fast—they keep your games running smoothly without stutter or slowdown.
And let’s talk about that screen: a 16-inch FHD 144Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 89% screen-to-body ratio. Whether you’re playing Valorant, watching anime, or editing video, the expansive panel gives you more space and clarity to work (and play) with.
Aesthetics Meets Everyday Utility
Despite the solid specs, ASUS didn’t forget the vibe check. The V16 comes in Matte Black while the X16 sports an Indie Black finish, both outfitted with a Turbo Blue backlight and neon-transparent WASD keys for that subtle gaming flair.
You’re also getting an ErgoSense keyboard and a touchpad that’s 40% larger than usual—great for those of us who juggle gaming and school/work on the same machine.
Audio-wise, ASUS packs in Dirac sound and Audio Booster tech, plus AI noise-canceling mics and 3D noise reduction for clearer voice and video calls. It’s built not just for gameplay, but for all the stuff in between.
Durable, Cool, and Portable
For gamers who like to play on the go or attend weekly LAN nights, portability is where these machines shine. The V16 clocks in at just 1.95kg and 1.8cm thin, while the X16 is even lighter at 1.8kg. Both models are reinforced with MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability, a 63Wh battery, and ASUS IceCool Thermal Technology—so you won’t worry about overheating or wear and tear too soon.
I/O is also solid across both models: two USB-A ports, one USB-C, an HDMI port, a combo audio jack, and a DC-in jack. The X16 even throws in an SD Card Reader for creators on a budget.
