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!

I've had this computer for about a year, it's fast, efficient, and is a wonderful gaming computer, I can play numerous high quality games without lag!

This laptop has been serving me a few years now and its still holding up strong! Ive recently upgraded to a Desktop PC and gave this one to my grandma to play roblox with! She loves it and talks about how smooth the gaming is on it

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.

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

The laptop performs well, with about 4 months of usage and it is still rock solid.

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.

Möglichkeit Tastatur zu tauschen und auch andere Komponenten auszuwechseln. Das Modul-Kasten-Bau-System gibt es leider nicht mehr sehr oft

Vengo de una Asus TUF A15 Ryzen 7 con una RTX 3050/16GB de RAM. Esta Rog G16 i7 RTX4060/16 GB RAM la supera por bastante. La laptop me llego en perfectas condiciones, sin backlight bleeding ni problemas en la tarjeta grafica. Tampoco el famoso “coil whine”. La pantalla representa mucho mejor el color y da un poco más brillo que una laptop gamer de gama baja. Bocinas decentes con cierto bass a mi parecer, unas dos rayitas más de volumen y es perfecta. La sensación del teclado y la construcción general de esta laptop es superior a lo común. Juegos AAA me los corre excelente. Entre 40fps(high/ultra) a 80fps(medium). En donde se vuelven notables los ventiladores pero tienen un sonido que a mi parecer es acostumbrable. En tareas básicas en Adobe e internet es realmente silenciosa y no se calienta. En cuanto a programas de renderizado como referencia de una RTX3050 mobile me tardaban 15 seg por renders, Esta RTX4060 me tarda no más de 6 seg. (Renderizo mobiliario urbano) En cuanto a la entrega tengo la teoría que me la abrió la aduana porque la caja venía con el sello cortado pero todo bien. Es un poco más pesada que una laptop gamer básica, me he adaptado bien, sin embargo es algo que notarás. Update: La laptop no ha presentado mayor problema. Sin embargo después de unos meses de transportandola ya me presentó backlight bleeding ligero. Lo considero normal dado el uso que le doy. Mi recomendación es que la transporten con cuidado.
