ASUS RTX 5090-Equipped ROG XG Mobile 2025 Will Launch Next Week for $2199.99, Taking Portability To New Levels
ASUS is poised to release its latest external GPU dock, the ROG XG Mobile 2025, on February 25, offering enthusiasts an ultra-powerful solution for high-performance portable gaming and content creation. This dock succeeds the previous generation that featured a GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU, and it now integrates the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile GPU, currently the fastest available for external enclosures. Priced at $2199.99, the ROG XG Mobile 2025 leverages Thunderbolt 5 (supporting up to 80 Gbps of bandwidth), doubling what Thunderbolt 4 could manage. As a result, users gain the capacity to drive 8K output for creator workflows or up to a triple 4K monitor setup at 144Hz for gaming and multitasking.
Beyond Thunderbolt 5, the ASUS ROG XG Mobile 2025 offers a robust range of connectivity options. These include USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, an SD Card Reader, and a 5G LAN port for high-speed network access. The enclosure itself weighs under 1 kg, relies on a 330W power supply, and integrates a Vapor Chamber cooling system. According to ASUS, this advanced design allows for a quieter overall experience, cutting noise levels by 3 dBA compared to its predecessors, and rear-side vents help improve airflow.
ASUS claims the new ROG XG Mobile 2025 is ideal for power users looking to run content at ultra-high resolutions, professionals requiring top-tier rendering performance, and gamers wanting premium frame rates on the go. Whether such demand can be met is yet to be seen, given the ongoing supply challenges surrounding the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series of GPUs. If the $2199.99 variant with the 24 GB RTX 5090 Mobile is beyond your budget, ASUS will also offer a $1199.99 version featuring the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile.
