ASUS Gaming X16 and V16 Officially Launched in PH – Pricing, Specs and Availability – YugaTech Gaming

MANILA, Philippines — Gamers in the Philippines have fresh gear to get excited about as ASUS officially rolled out its latest budget-friendly yet performance-driven laptops, the ASUS Gaming V16 and ASUS Gaming X16, on May 6, 2025. Designed to deliver powerful gaming capabilities without breaking the bank, the launch marks a significant move by ASUS to democratize high-performance gaming for the wider Filipino market.

Unveiled during a media event in Makati, the ASUS Gaming V16 (V3607) and X16 (K3605) are part of the brand’s push to create a complete, accessible gaming ecosystem. Built for the daily grind of gaming and multitasking, these machines are tailored to a generation that demands power, portability, and style in one sleek package.

The V16 is powered by up to an Intel Core 5 210H processor paired with the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, offering support for DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. This allows for advanced rendering and performance that rivals more premium-tier rigs. For those opting for the more budget-conscious X16, users still get robust specs with an Intel Core i5-13420H and an RTX 3050 GPU.

Both models flaunt a 16-inch Full HD 144Hz IPS-level display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, promising smooth and immersive visuals with an 89% screen-to-body ratio — ideal for fast-paced titles and casual content consumption alike. Audio, often overlooked in budget models, is enhanced with Dirac technology and ASUS Audio Booster, offering gamers cinematic soundscapes out of the box.

For everyday usability, ASUS has added thoughtful features such as a 40% larger touchpad, a backlit ErgoSense keyboard with neon-accented WASD and arrow keys, and AI noise-canceling microphones and webcams — great for streamers, Zoom meetings, or long Discord calls.

The V16 weighs just 1.95kg with a slim 1.8cm profile in Matte Black, while the X16 shaves a little more weight at 1.8kg and comes in Indie Black. Both laptops are engineered for endurance with MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability and ASUS IceCool thermal tech that employs dual fans and heat pipes to manage heat effectively during long gaming sessions.

Connectivity options are generous, including USB-C with Power Delivery, multiple USB-A ports, HDMI, and combo audio jacks. The X16 gets a slight edge with an SD card reader — perfect for content creators on the go.

On launch, the V16 lineup starts at PHP 59,995 for the 8GB RTX 4050 variant, with higher-end configurations climbing to PHP 74,995 for the RTX 5060 model. The X16 starts at a competitive PHP 49,995. All purchases come with a free ASUS backpack, a 2-year International Warranty, 1-year Accidental Damage Protection, and a 3-month PC Game Pass.

Adding an extra layer of excitement, ASUS has partnered with Genshin Impact for an exclusive promotion. Buyers of eligible ASUS Gaming V16 or X16 laptops from official ASUS and ROG stores will receive an official Genshin Impact-themed mousepad from May 6 to June 15, 2025 — a nod to the rising popularity of anime-inspired open-world games in the region.

Asus Philippines Business Development Manager Harrison Cheng underscored the brand’s commitment to supporting local gamers at all levels. “With this new lineup, we bridge the gap between aspirants and pro-level performance,” said Cheng. “Wherever you are on your journey, ASUS has a device that’s right for you.”

With this release, ASUS continues to assert itself as a leader in gaming innovation — now with even more accessible options for Filipino gamers ready to level up.

The ASUS Gaming V16 and X16 laptops are officially available in the Philippines starting May 6, 2025, through ASUS and ROG stores as well as authorized retail partners nationwide. Variants powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 and RTX 40 series GPUs, including the RTX 3050 and 4050 models, are available for purchase immediately. Meanwhile, the more powerful ASUS Gaming V16 model equipped with the latest RTX 5060 GPU is scheduled to arrive in June 2025. As a special launch promotion, customers who purchase eligible ASUS Gaming V16 or X16 laptops between May 6 and June 15, 2025, from participating stores will also receive a limited-edition official Genshin Impact mousepad, while supplies last.
