ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023) Gaming Laptop, 16†16:10 FHD 165Hz, GeForce RTX 4060, Intel Core i7-13650HX, 16GB DDR5, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11, G614JV-AS73, Eclipse Gray

I wanted to buy another laptop for work purposes but also be useful for travelling and for gaming so I saw this laptop for sale during Black Friday! Excellent purchase! Here is my pros and cons after a week of owning this: Con: 1. 1920 x 1200 FHD 165Hz Display is very much an downgrade against my Legion 5 Pro 16" 2560 x 1600 IPS LCD 165Hz Display... But I guess with the parts offered, ASUS had to make some budget cuts somewhere I guess... (for the model I've chosen and not wanting to spend more than $1500 USD). 2. Automatic MUX Switching is annoying... it optimizes which option to best suit for your current usage at the time (e.g. if you ran an game vs closing the game and brings you to the desktop). The automatic switch seems like its great and all but it ruins the display setting and when an game is playing, it switches again and sends you back to the desktop and ruins the display setting/resolution once more... Its best to just set it on the dedicated GPU option so you dont have to deal with this... 3. Standard SSD Capacity is too low (again with cost saving measures but literally everyone these days just buy additional SSD stick anyways)... so snagged an SK.Hynix P41 SSD 2TB stick on sale to manually install for loading heavy application and games on there; really easy to install and easy to unscrew the back; there is an empty NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 slot for you to install your SSD Works Great after installing correctly and no Issues now! (make sure after install of SSD, just load into Windows and open up disk management to reformat (quick format! never full on SSD!) No need to tinker with BIOS setting...Do not tighten the SSD screws too much where the stick bends! thats incorrect! screw in ever so slightly so that the stick itself wont lodge out or move at all. Pros: 1. RTX 4060 8GB - 140W Max TGP 2. i7-13650HX - beats my Ryzen-7 5800H on my Legion 5 Pro 3. RGB bar looks awesome! 4. Battery 90Wh Neutral: 1. RGB Keys - heard mixed reviews on ASUS's design on this; of course, the Legion 5 RGB keyboard design is the best of the best but this is just okay and its not too bad in my eyes. 2. Same weight and nearly the same dimensions as my Legion 5 Pro so portability is the same-ish but way better than my old MSI gaming laptop from 2017 where you can put this in your backpack and still have room to put other accessories and such. This is all I've noticed currently but either way, its a great mid-tier gaming laptop! I can run cyberpunk all max setting without issues or framerate drops and every other AAA game titles up to this point... This laptop should last an long time until AAA games becomes more graphically intense and requiring more processing power... but again this is the best you can get for your money and highly recommend!

Beautiful. But the graphic card's driver kept disappearing all the time...

Three months in using, Right off the bat I personally Got this on black Friday on a massive discount but even without that this laptop really gives you your bang for the buck, it came without even a minor scratch given this was imported from my country in South Asia(good shipping experience) everything so far has just worked except for minor rare crashes here and there while booting games(might be my external hard disk to blame) Runs well, haven't benchmarked it or anything but can assure anyone that if not defective this beast will run anything you throw at it with conveniently playable frames, does weigh quite a lot though( I know duh!) so keep that in my mind, screenns great, rgb has a lot of customization options, the battery is fine for a gaming laptop, really tactile keyboards, material used feels really premium, performance really takes the crown but just know that on extreme setting both on the game and on the armory(native performance control center) things tend to Get real loud real fast, so that is what I have to say about this, am really satisfied with my product and hope you will too( If you decide to buy it), have a nice day and peace be with you.

When it runs it runs good. Plays games up to par without issues when it wants to. My main issue with this laptop is that the USB (C and A) drives decide randomly to cut out and you cant get them to work again until to restart the laptop. Can be very frustrating. I deleted the drivers and reinstalled them with no avail. Also another weird thing is when im using my headphones for gaming the sound card screws up sometimes and i hear sounds in the wrong ear until i unplug and re plug in my headset. sometimes even that doesnt fix it... i know its not my headset because on my tower i never have that issue. im fairly conviced that its a mobo issue pertaining to usb ports. also very frustrating. AND THEN after x amount of hours using the pc just starts running slow as dog and practically almost freezing. i originally thought it was thermal throttling but i checked the temps and it happens sometimes when its not doing anything graphically demanding... overall i wouldnt recommend im sending mine back. do yourself a favor and grab an acer predator lmao

Disclaimer: I am writing this review to avail 90 day warranty extension I am writing this review almost two months after I received this beast. It has been a smooth-ish experience. It is amazing for the price. I like that it can run all my games, and I have also used it for programming. It is definitely good as an all-rounder. The battery life is unexpectedly good. Once it reached more than seven hours, which is supreme for a Windows machine. I like the large trackpad. The RGB is also a good addition. Though the laptop becomes loud in turbo mode, I find myself keeping it on either silent or balanced mode, depending on the FPS I am trying to achieve. It runs Cyberpunk max settings with path tracing at 80 FPS native resolution with DLSS Quality at 70 FPS. I can confidently say it can run every game out there at max settings. The only downside is the SSD. Maybe it is just my model, or I am not sure, but the laptop becomes extremely slow while downloading games from Steam, Epic Games, etc. It is almost unusable. Task Manager shows disk at 100% while showing only 50 MB/s writes, which are initially 200, etc. I am not sure about this, but it is not much of a hassle. I only notice it when games are updating or installing. I guess they had to cut corners to make this such a great price. The Black Friday sale made this laptop even more worth it. I paid 1300$ because it had to be shipped to Qatar. It is much cheaper than the alternatives here, though, so worth it. Overall, I am giving this laptop a 5 stars. If only the SSD was better, this would be a perfect laptop. I guess I will probably buy a better SSD later, as this laptop has two NVMe slots.

Better than I expected and bought it for $1,390. I chose between several brands and studied competitors for about 2 weeks. Many competitors had up to $1,500, had a poor quality of the screen, the case, or they did not turn on at all. Judging by the reviews, a large number of defective models were commonplace on 4060 and 4070 video cards. As for this model, the pros: The laptop turns on without defects! I was looking for intel i7 13 xxx and rtx 4060/4070 graphics card. Decent performance, excellent build quality. The screen is good, nvidia g-sync, 165hz, pantone + dolby vision certified (without standard HDR) The sound from the speakers is normal with dolby atmos. The keyboard is gorgeous with backlight in several zones and is pressed pleasantly. There is a MUX switch. The metal cover of the laptop. Quiet and cold compared to other laptops in this price category. Disadvantages: Inconvenient USB-A on the right side if you are right-handed and you have a wired mouse. (I bought a USB-C to USB-A adapter) Inconvenient charging port on the left side in the center (the wire is heated by the cooling system). The screen is 8 bits (without standard HDR). The absence of the numpad that is on the images. Overall, I am very satisfied, the rating for this price (under 1500$) is 10/10.

I'll start from the end - it's an excellent laptop. I will not write the advantages or disadvantages, instead I will write why it is a balanced and suitable for gaming on a sane budget. It has an RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB of RAM. On the one hand, it is excellent for gaming on 1080p, on the other hand, it also allows you to play in high resolutions using DLSS 3 / 3.5. More expensive laptops with RTX 4070 will indeed provide higher performance, but the card also comes with 8GB of RAM, which means that at higher resolutions it will probably cause a bottleneck. Cheaper laptops with RTX 4050 are not worth the price since the card is both weaker and has only 6GB of RAM - can bottleneck some modern games even on 1080p. The rest of the hardware - the CPU delivers great performance, the RAM is not soldered and therefore can be upgraded if needed and there is an additional slot for an another SSD. I bought it on sale ($1100 before tax and shipping) and am very satisfied, definitely recommend.

I've been using this Laptop for about a year now, only real negative i have to say about it is there's occasions where the 'Armoury Crate' app( which is the application that controls your fans speeds and RGB lighting) crashes causing the whole laptop to hard crash. It's only happened about six times in total; Bios Updates has made this less common but i think i should mention it regardless. This is the best "gaming" laptop on the market for the price. If you want something "better" you'll have to cough up a pretty penny going into enthusiast territory; for marginal upgrades with diminishing returns. I've looked around quiet a bit for other computers in this price range, so far this is the best one I've found. If you can get it on sale it's a steal. TL:DR: has some quirks that you need to be mindful about 1. It does happen but it's rare, it will hard crashed caused by it's Fan and RGB software. updates made it stable but still worth noting. 2. If you open it to upgrade the space or ram, you need to reconnect it to the outlet again to power back on. (so no you didn't break it.) 3. You can turn off the RGB completely as well as mute the Custom start up sound in Armoury Crate.

I've had this over two months now. And I'm using over the weekend heavy usage. Sometimes I get into gaming session up to 8 hours non-stop and still stable with best performance without any lag and not making a lot of noise. I highly recommend this laptop.

2 yıldır aktif şekilde kullanıyorum.Kargosu sağlam geldi.Ürün zaten şahane.Bütün oyunları en kötü ihtimalle yüksek ayarlarda rahatça oynayabiliyorsunuz.Render için bilgi veremeyeceğim çünkü kullanmıyorum.Asla ısınmasıyla ilgili bir sorun yaşamadım asus ekibi inanılmaz bir şekilde çözmüş diyebilirim.Tek sorunu el koyma yerinde touchpadin yanında ufak bi aşınma meydana geldi.Kasası rek verdi onun dışında cayır cayır çalışıyor.Orta segment bir laptop arayışındaysanız ve amacınız oyun oynamaksa bu cihaz sizi üzmeyecektir.

Después de usar la laptop unos días puedo decir que es una absoluta bestia sobre todo por el precio, he visto en muchos lugares laptops igual o más caras pero que ni se acercan a las características de esta lap, de entrada la calidad de la pantalla es excelente, se puede ver en la imagen la diferencia entre una pantalla FHD de una laptop de gama baja y la pantalla que tiene esta laptop, es increíble la diferencia, además el tamaño ligeramente mayor a una pantalla normal de 15.6 si se nota. La rapidez en que se desenvuelve en todo aspecto es impresionante, tareas simples de office, navegar y sobre todo en los juegos se desenvuelve de lo mejor, ningún juego AAA le da problemas incluso en calidad ultra. He visto gente que se queja de la pantalla porque tiene fugaz de luz pero en mi caso no he visto que suceda o al menos no que sea muy notorio. El volumen de las bocinas puede ser un poco bajo pero también depende del programa/juego en particular. Hasta ahora el único problema que he notado es con la app que usa la laptop para monitorear todo, se traba al querer entrar al apartado de sonido, quizá reinstalando el programa se resuelva, no lo he intentado aún. En general es un excelente producto, se siente muy bien construida y con materiales muy buenos, incluso los dedos se marcan menos que en mi laptop anterior. Y al final te acostumbras en un día a no tener el pad numérico, gente que lo utilice mucho por trabajo/escuela bien puede agregar uno conectado a usb y listo.

I like that's nearly the quietest laptop compared to its competitors with same specs. also I'm impressedwith the GPU performance. maybe there's some coilwhine yeah but very minor to notice. overall I really like it!!
