Two new notebooks are joining ASUS’ range of budget-friendly gaming machines: the ASUS Gaming V16 and ASUS Gaming X16. The two aim to provide both new and veteran gamers a fast gaming experience that doesn’t break the bank.
Both the V16 and X16 come with 16.0-inch 1920 x 1080 144Hz displays, a single USB 3.2 Gne2 Type-C (with the V16 supporting USB PD 3.0), two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, an HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5mm combo jack, and DC-in chargers. The two will also come with 512GB PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs for storage.
The ASUS Gaming X16 K3605 is the more budget-friendly of the two packing an Intel Core i5-13420H, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB GPU, and it will come with an 8GB DDR4 on-board memory accompanied by a single empty RAM slot for future memory expansion. All its internals are powered by a 50Whr battery with support for 120W AC charging. ASUS fits in all its hardware within an 18.9mm-thin chassis that weighs in at 1.8kg
On the other hand, the ASUS Gaming V16 V3607 is placed higher in the stack with an Intel Core 5 Series 2 processor, up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, and up to 16GB 5600MHz DDR5 memory (two replaceable RAM slots). It runs on a 63Whr battery, which supports 150W AC and USB PD 3.0 charging. Its chassis measures in at just 18mm thin and weighs shy of 2.0kg.
The ASUS Gaming V16 and ASUS Gaming X16 are now available in the Philippines. Their RTX 30 and RTX 40 series will hit the market first, while the RTX 50 models will arrive in the country on June 2025.
As an added bonus, each purchase of either notebook will net you an ASUS backpack, ASUS after-sales service with 2-year international warranty and 1-year accidental damage protection, and 3-month PC Game Pass.
Below are the models that will arrive in the Philippines in their respective prices:
