ASUS Unveils 2025 ROG Gaming Laptops in India: Check Price, Specs, and Availability

ASUS has officially announced its next wave of gaming laptops under the Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand for 2025. The new lineup includes refreshed versions of the Strix, Zephyrus, and Flow models, and this time around, the upgrades go deeper than just a bump in performance.

These laptops are built around the latest Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI processors, with several models featuring AI-enhanced features, OLED displays, and higher wattage GPUs.

Here's a look at what's new and what each model brings to the table.

Strix Scar 16 and 18: Performance Meets Personality

The Strix Scar 16 and 18 remain the most spec-heavy machines in the ROG portfolio. Both models are powered by Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processors and can be configured with NVIDIA's top-tier RTX 5090 laptop GPU. ASUS also includes an AniMe Vision LED panel on the lid for customizable animations-a nod to gamers who like their machines to reflect their personality.

Cooling has been a key focus, with vapor chamber cooling and Tri-Fan systems meant to sustain high performance without excessive noise or thermal throttling. The display specs are also impressive: a 240Hz 2.5K Mini LED panel with Dolby Vision and up to 1200 nits of brightness.

The Strix Scar 16 starts at ₹379,990, while the larger 18-inch variant begins at ₹449,990.

Strix G16: Minimalist but Capable

If the Scar feels too flashy, the Strix G16 is a more understated option. It offers the same Intel Ultra 9 CPU, and in some configurations, comes with the RTX 5080 GPU. The QHD+ display runs at 240Hz, and ASUS includes the same cooling tech and tool-less upgrade options found on the Scar.

The Strix G16 starts at ₹259,990 and is aimed at users who want premium specs without the visual flair.

Zephyrus G14 and G16: Portable Yet Powerful

The Zephyrus models are more compact and creator-friendly. The G14 is powered by AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX chip and weighs just 1.57kg. It has a 3K OLED screen with factory-calibrated colors, making it well suited for creative work, content editing, or anyone who prefers lighter hardware without sacrificing speed.

The G16 takes a similar approach but offers a larger OLED panel, RTX 5080 graphics, and a slightly higher starting price of ₹359,990.

Flow Z13: A 2-in-1 Built for Gaming and Flexibility

The Flow Z13 is arguably the most unusual device in the lineup. It's a 2-in-1 gaming tablet powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max, and it manages to squeeze in a 180Hz touch display, detachable RGB keyboard, and high-speed memory-all in a frame that weighs just 1.2kg.

While it's unlikely to replace a desktop-level gaming rig, the Z13 stands out as a versatile option for gamers and professionals on the move. The starting price is ₹199,990.

Pre-Order Deal

Customers who pre-order the ROG 2025 gaming laptop can avail benefits worth up to ₹34,498 for just ₹99, which includes:
