The 2025 version of the ROG Strix G16 is designed for gamers who require best-in-class performance. At the center of it all is the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor which is perhaps the most advanced chip around and that is capable of handling the latest games and demanding multitasking with ease.
Paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics processing unit (powered by the cutting-edge NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and loaded with DLSS 4 and Max-Q technologies), this laptop delivers smooth-as-silk frame rates, ray tracing and AI-accelerated graphics increases that upgrade each game to next-generation visuals and feel.
What's more, the 16-inch ROG Nebula Display supports 16:10 aspect ratio, 2.5K resolution, and a blazing 240Hz refresh rate with 3ms response time. That means ultra smooth visuals, zero motion blur and an immersive experience whether playing games. The better ACR film boosts contrast and reduces glare and gives you vivid colors and sharp details no matter what the lighting condition.
With 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, you'll have no problem juggling games, streaming, and productivity programs at the same time. The 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD delivers lightning-fast load times and tons of space for an enormous library of games. You'll never lack space or wait on slow-load screens.
Cooling is most important in a high-performance laptop, and ASUS has equipped the Strix G16 with its latest ROG Intelligent Cooling system. That includes an end-to-end vapor chamber, tri-fan tech and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the chipset, all of which work together to cool and stay silent even under extended gaming use.
The full-surround RGB light bar enables you to synchronize lighting effects between your keyboard and other ROG peripherals and Stealth Mode turns off all lighting for a more professional look. Tool-less access makes it easy to upgrade RAM, SSD, and fans, with a frame that can be removed to conceal the hardware and give advanced users more access for customization.
If you're looking for the best gaming laptop, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 is the Prime Day offer to beat.

Hertz to sell used vehicles online through Amazon Autos partnership
Hertz on Wednesday announced it will start selling preowned vehicles on Amazon Autos, a move meant to bolster the car rental company's retail operations as it looks to bring in more profits. Shares of Hertz soared Wednesday. Under the partnership, customers can browse from thousands of used Hertz vehicles on Amazon Autos, e-sign the paperwork, complete their purchase online and pick up their vehicle at Hertz locations. Customers who live within 75 miles of the four initial cities — Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle — can start browsing on Amazon as soon as Wednesday, and Hertz eventually plans to expand the arrangement to 45 locations nationwide. The partnership gives Hertz, known for its car rentals, more visibility and a potential profit boost for its auto sales business. It also marks an expansion for Amazon's nascent autos business, which it launched in December through a partnership with Hyundai. Before that, shoppers could browse digital showrooms and compare prices on Amazon, but not purchase cars directly through the e-commerce giant. Amazon Autos added used and certified preowned vehicles to its selection of offerings earlier this month starting in Los Angeles, after previously selling exclusively new vehicles. Hertz Car Sales is Amazon Autos' first fleet dealer and will offer used vehicles from brands including Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet and Nissan. Hertz said it sells hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year, in addition to running its signature car rental business. 'Our goal is to reimagine the car-buying experience and meet customers where they are — whether online or in person — with convenience, confidence and scale,' said Jeff Adams, executive vice president of Hertz Car Sales. 'Amazon Autos is the ideal partner to help us deliver on this as customers can shop our expansive inventory of high-quality used cars on the same trusted marketplace where millions shop every day.' The partnership with Amazon Autos is aimed at expanding Hertz's digital retail presence and making its used vehicle inventory more accessible to customers. It's part of a larger strategy that Hertz set out earlier this year, led by CEO Gil West, to boost its retail business by increasing its retail footprint, raising awareness of the Hertz Car Sales brand and building strategic partnerships. After entering bankruptcy during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and dealing with a failed EV strategy shortly after that, Hertz last year introduced its 'Back-to-Basics Roadmap' turnaround plan. The focus is on fleet management, revenue optimization and cost efficiency. Hertz said the first quarter of this year marked its strongest-ever quarter for retail vehicle sales. During the company's Aug. 7 earnings call, West said Hertz has seen strong momentum in its Rent2Buy program, which allows customers to take a used car home for a three-day rental period before committing to buying it. Hertz announced last week that the program is set to reach more than 100 cities. — CNBC's Annie Palmer contributed to this report.

OpenAI CFO sees firm selling AI infrastructure service in future
(Bloomberg) — OpenAI ( is considering eventually helping other businesses tap into the data centers and physical infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence, potentially creating a new revenue line that could offset some of the ChatGPT maker's immense costs. The service would be loosely inspired by the success Inc. found renting out its spare cloud computing capacity to companies, OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said in an interview Wednesday. OpenAI is not 'actively looking' at such an effort today because it's focused on securing computing capacity for its own operations, she said. But 'I do think about it as a business down the line, for sure,' Friar said. In recent years, OpenAI has gained expertise on how to design and set up data centers to optimize workloads for AI. The company now sees an opportunity to capitalize on that know-how. It also wants to become more directly involved in the process rather than rely solely on third-party vendors. 'If all we do is buy from others, all we're doing is giving them our IP because they're learning how to build AI infrastructure,' Friar said. OpenAI has raised tens of billions of dollars to pay for advanced chips and data centers to build and operate cutting-edge AI services. The company is also working with SoftBank Group Corp. and Oracle Corp. on an ambitious infrastructure venture called Stargate, with plans to build massive data centers in the US and abroad. Even that may be a drop in the bucket. Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman told reporters this month that people 'should expect OpenAI to spend trillions of dollars' on data center construction in the 'not very distant future.' Altman said OpenAI is working to 'design a very interesting new kind of financial instrument' to help support that effort, without providing details. Historically, OpenAI has leaned on other partners, including backer Microsoft Corp. and Oracle, to help finance the cost of building out data centers. Now, the company is also seeing banks and private equity firms 'come to the table' with debt financing to support its infrastructure initiatives, Friar said. 'That's the next path we're going down,' Friar said. From there, she added, OpenAI is 'trying to be thoughtful' about whether there are 'other interesting, novel ways we could do that beyond debt.' OpenAI remains an unprofitable business, which limits its ability to finance data center projects without outside capital. However, the company has seen revenue grow at a fast clip on the strength of consumer and business demand for ChatGPT. OpenAI generated $1 billion in revenue in July, marking its first month hitting that milestone, Friar said. The company is also in early talks about a potential sale of stock for current and former employees at a valuation of about $500 billion, Bloomberg News has reported. Its previous valuation stood at $300 billion in a $40 billion financing round led by SoftBank. Of that $40 billion, OpenAI was responsible for lining up $10 billion through a syndicate of investors. Friar said there was so much investor demand that OpenAI ended up raising $11 billion, bringing the total funding amount for the current round to $41 billion. ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.
