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 laptop for years and it still works flawlessly. Highly recommend, and when I got it, it was on sale for about a grand! I recommend you swap the RAM for 32gb if the prices ever drop. Turns this thing into a beast! I edit videos for full-time work, and this thing handles After Effects and Premiere easily! (Besides windows being windows for these programs). As for gaming, yeah, this thing does just fine. Max out Diablo 4 or Elden Ring just fine.

Rceiving a warranty extension from ASUS for this Review* Right out of the gate this laptop is impressive. Everything I've thrown at it, it's played very well. The new 40 series graphics cards features really help with this. The laptop is sturdily built with no deck flex around the keyboard. The screen is 1200p which is a little more than FHD and in the 16" size it looks great. No lightbleed and a strong contrast ratio. Yes you can easily open it up and replace the memory and add another m.2 SSD. The memory is dual channel and the m.2 size is the full length size. Yes the thing is quiet even under some light load. Of course the fans will ramp up if you throw something very demanding at it BUT looking at temps for the CPU/GPU show that it's very well cooled. I haven't seen the CPU go over 85c nor the GPU over 65c as of yet. The power plug is in an odd spot though, it's in the center of the right hand side and with the power brick being so large that might cause trouble for some when trying to position it somewhere. There's an odd issue with the 3.5mm headphone jack where using an earbud with an inline microphone can cause some weird sound issues. Upon looking online I see that low impedance headphones might suffer from these sorts of issues on certain laptops. In my testing using expensive headphones with high impedance show no sign of this issue so that could very well be the issue. I also find the trackpad can be a bit funky, it will sometimes not register clicks and more frequently won't register two finger scrolling correctly. I've tried reinstalling drivers and tweaking settings for both the audio/trackpad issue but nothing has seemed to help. This is a new laptop after all so I'm hoping these issues can get sorted out soon.

I am writing this with a mix of frustration and genuine disappointment. In 2023, I invested in a high-end ASUS ROG Strix G16, expecting a premium experience. Instead, after just two years, the laptop is completely dead. The diagnosis from the repair shop was shocking: the liquid metal on the processor leaked out, causing a fatal short circuit on the motherboard. It is unacceptable for such an expensive machine to fail due to a fundamental flaw in its cooling implementation. Performance vs. Reliability: Raw power is useless if the factory assembly is defective. Having the thermal compound shift and destroy the motherboard is a sign of poor quality control by ASUS. Questionable Build Quality: A premium device should have failsafe barriers to prevent liquid metal leaks. My laptop became an expensive paperweight after only 24 months due to a manufacturing oversight. Wasted Investment: When you buy ROG, you pay a premium for reliability. ASUS has proven to me that a high price tag does not guarantee long-term quality. Conclusion: I cannot recommend this model, nor the brand, if this is the standard of durability they offer. If you are looking for a machine to last through your college years or a long-term gaming journey, think twice. ASUS has proven to me that a high price does not guarantee long-term quality.

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

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.

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.
