In a market packed with flashy specs and sky-high price tags, the ASUS Gaming V16 enters the scene with a quieter kind of confidence.
It’s thin, light, and ready to play—all without blowing a hole in your wallet. But at ₱74,995, does it deliver more than just the basics?
Let’s break it down like you’re deciding between this and that annual graphics card upgrade.
Thin, Light, and Unassuming—In a Good Way
First impressions matter, and the V16 keeps it clean. The Indie Black finish is stealthy and minimalist—no RGB carnival here. At just 1.80 cm thin and 1.95 kg, it’s one of the lightest gaming laptops in its class. It fits in most backpacks, doesn’t scream “gamer” in a coffee shop, and still brings the fire when you launch your favorite titles.
The Turbo Blue backlit keyboard adds just the right flair—enough to let you game into the night without drawing side-eyes.
Solid Internals, Smooth Gameplay
Under the hood, the ASUS Gaming V16 carries an Intel Core i5-210H processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050. It’s a combo that gives you enough muscle to push through most current AAA titles at medium to high settings—Genshin Impact, the V16’s official game partner, runs buttery smooth on default high settings, with room to tweak.
You also get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is plenty for multitasking, plus a 512GB SSD that boots fast and loads games without dragging its feet.
Want more options? ASUS also offers an X16 variant with a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 and up to an RTX 30-Series GPU for those seeking a bit more firepower.
Display That Pulls You In
The 16-inch Full HD IPS panel features a 16:10 aspect ratio—providing extra vertical space for work or wide-angle views for gaming—and a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother transitions and reduced ghosting.
Keeps Cool Under Pressure
ASUS’s IceCool thermal technology, featuring dual fans and heat pipes, keeps thermals in check even under long gaming sessions. During real-world use, the fans did their job quietly, and the chassis remained cool to the touch—no sweaty palms here.
Extra Goodies for Early Buyers
The ASUS Gaming laptops have an ASUS backpack, and a 3-month PC Game Pass. Not to mention, the laptop is covered by ASUS’s 2-Year International Warranty plus 1-Year Accidental Damage Protection, a welcome inclusion in this price segment.
Until June 15, 2024, purchases of the V16 and X16 from ASUS or ROG stores come bundled with an exclusive Genshin Impact mousepad.
Final Verdict
The ASUS Gaming V16 doesn’t try to be something it’s not—and that’s what makes it great. It delivers game-ready performance in a thin and light package, making it a strong option for students, casual gamers, and anyone stepping into the PC gaming world. Practical, portable, and powerful enough for the price—it hits the sweet spot.
