ROG Strix G16 (2023) Gaming Laptop, 16†Nebula Display 16:10 QHD 240Hz, GeForce RTX 4050, Intel Core i9-13980HX, 16GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11, G614JU-ES94,Eclipse Gray

So, my previous laptop was starting to show signs of failure, which meant it was time to get a new laptop. I shopped around and looked at reviews. Their were two types people focus when shopping for laptops: the literal on-the-go, compact, multi-day battery types of laptop; the other the high-powered, alternate to your desktop kind of laptop. Out of all the present models I chose the Asus ROG Strix for having an excellent balance of efficiency and power. Now I need to note that this review can't be a direct review of a new laptop as I got mine from Amazon Warehouse (lightly, once used tech resold at a discount). So I do not know what a version of this laptop fresh out-of-the-box is like. I can review how this laptop has been, and so far it has been excellent. It's light-weight and compact yet has a bigger screen than my original 14" laptop. The fans are quiet most of the time and running at top power they are still smooth with minimum noise. It has a descent size touch pad (it does not come with a number pad on it) that is not over-sensitive and works as well as a mouse. As for the batter life, it's unclear how long it can really last (I estimate it at between 4-6 hours without major features running). As for the physical features It comes with two regular USB ports on the right side next to each other, a LAN line port, an HDMI, and two USB-C ports on the left. The body and frame is a solid yet smooth metal-like plastic. It also has an LED light running along the front of the underside. Both that and the keyboard can have their lights and color chanced using ASUS's armory crate app that also lets you control most other features of the computer. All in all I love my new laptop and have been enjoying using it and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new computer.

Very fast gaming pc

I wanted this computer for software development (primarily involving Docker and UE5) and secondly for light gaming. I bought it here for $1250 in used condition although it looked brand new to me. It came with 16GB (2x 8GB DDR5 4800Mhz). I decided to try upgrading to 64GB (2x 32GB sticks) of DDR5 5600Mhz (800Mhz higher than what it came with). It was able to run at 5200Mhz, 400Mhz above stock but not quite 5600Mhz. This is the RAM I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLTDTD86?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Also, 64GB is above the 32GB limit that Asus has posted on their website but a bunch of people on here and Reddit were saying it could to 64GB. Honestly, 64GB for gaming is overkill but the knowledge that you can upgrade the speed of the RAM and not just the GB's might still be useful. If you're also interested in this for development, having a lot of RAM and CPU threads can make a big difference in project build times and running virtual machines (like Docker containers) alongside Windows and your IDE. Also, it does not have the Numpad as the pictures show, but I don't care about that feature.

I've had mine for a few days now, current thoughts are its a very stylish and powerful pc. It runs mw2 on ultra settings at 100 fps (mux switch off, slightly boosted) and has the best graphics ive seen to date. Definitely worth it at this price thus far. My original gaming pc is an hp omen T-17 gtx 1060 intel I7 8th gen. I thought it was a great pc and could still run demanding games at around 60 fps with high settings (1 step below ultra) but I wanted to gift it to a family member and upgrade. This pc is far superior to the 2018 hp omen, great use of screen space as well. The size made me sad at first since im used to a 17 inch but its hardly noticable in game. Have not taken this pc apart yet nor had any issues with software or hardware, will update review as needed. Current opinion is highly recommended at 1600 USD

I was looking for a laptop with a wish list. This was to be used for business so I wanted an Rj 45 port; backlit keyboard, An Intel I7 (or above) and a touchscreen. You wouldn't have thought that list would have been hard to find but it was. Even getting an Rj45 port on a laptop was problematic. I searched for around 2 weeks but this one best met or exceeded the wishlist. It was listed as a "gaming machine" but that was unlikely to prevent it being used for business. It was also listed as a 2023 model. On the evening it arrived I set about updating Windows 11 prior to installing the software I required. I got no further than that! On the update screen a message was displayed that effectively said the version of Windows 11 supplied with the laptop was out of date........ (what??) This afternoon I called Asus technical support (who answered very quickly) and after a couple of attempts with a Windows troubleshooter told me to send the laptop back to the seller.. Largely I write with a "buyer beware" review but also to bring the problem to Amazon's attention. Amazon clearly listed this as a 2023 model but I was unaware (as I am sure Amazon do too) that there would be this Windows issue. I am disappointed in Asus because I suspect that this issue could probably have been resolved by issuing a new Windows activation code. Amazon have been outstanding in understanding the problem and arranging for a return. I would have liked to have kept the laptop but obviously the Windows issue would likely have caused me problems in the future.

So far its been working great, thermals are good with its cooling. The manufacture site states it only supports 32gb RAM but that's in correct. I've installed Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 4800MHz CL40 Laptop Memory CT2K32G48C40S5 with no issues all 64GB show up and usable. My only complaint is all the attention went into its performance and screen quality but its speakers are very lacking in sound and quality! I had ordered the Creative Pebble V2 - Minimalistic 2.0 USB-C Powered Desktop Speakers and at 30% volume on those Pebble speakers equaled the laptops speakers volume at 100%. Its got built in Bluetooth that I've used with headphones and its sounds great. Has room inside for a second M.2 drive. You get two usb type a A plugs and two usb type c one of which can be used to supply power to the laptop or fast charge your phone from. Also has an HDMI and LAN port. Over all im pretty happy with it, I have it setting on the IETS GT500 laptop cooler at Idle GPU temp stays at 32c and CPU stays around 40-45c. Playing 7 days to die on steam GPU temps are around 55-57c and CPU stays around 70-78c with spikes upto 85c. Haven't benchmarked it much but on Cinebench R23 the I9-13980HX CPU in this laptop got 3rd scoring 1336 pts on (single core) with the I7-1165G7 taking 1st and 2nd with 1st place score of 1532 pts. It got 2nd in (multicore) with a score of 24514 pts the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990wx had 1st with its score of 30054 in (multicore).

Nice laptop, does everything I need it to, just wish the battery lasted longer.

Producto de buena calidad, el envío se hace rápido

El equipo es un equipo muy completo. Por el precio al que la compré fue una excelente realación costo-prestaciones. Algunos detalles que puedo compartir son los siguientes: Los materiales de construcción son muy buenos. La sensación al tacto del prástico utilizado es muy buena. Se siente muy bien construida. La bateria a configuración máxima de trabajo dura aproximadamente 2 horas sin estar jugando. Jugando Fall Gays por ejemplo dura algo así como 1 hora 20 minutos. Para hacer que dure la bateria obviamente hay que reconfigurar el equipo. Bajar la frecuencia de pantalla, configurar la tarjeta de video en modo standar, bajar la retroiluminación del teclado, etc, permite que la bateria dure hasta 5 horas en un uso "de oficina". La tecla enter de pronto se confunde con las teclas que estan junto a ella por que el enter en pequeño. además de que cerca del enter se encuentran las teclas de flechas de dirección y a veces presionas las teclas de las flechas en lugar del enter. Nunca he usado las teclas multimedia que estan al final del teclado del lado derecho. Con el cargador conectado, cualquier programa que yo utilice (simuladores de electrónica, office, juegos, etc) funcionan de maravilla y extremadamente todo muy fluido al reconfigurar todo el sistema en configuraciones de máximo desempeño. obvimanete cuando se tiene conectado el cargador (que parece un ladrillo y pesa como un ladrillo) se puede usar la frecuencia de pantalla a 240Hz y la experiencia visual es muy buena. Los ventiladores en general son muy silenciosos. Obviamente cuando se está jugando, se ponen a maxima capacidad pero el ruido no es tan molesto como otros equipos que he tenido. El diseño del equipo es muy compacto respecto a otras laptopgaming. Es decir, no es tan voluminosa como otros equipos; obviamente el peso es mayor que una laptop de tipo slim. En conclusión, es un equipo bastante completo con prestaciones extraordinarias

After a year of using this laptop, I am honestly impressed with it I brought it to an Asus Service center (🤣just for a Bio update) and was reassured that everything was up to par, only difference was that this is a USA model Thus far, these are the main points of consideration for future buyers: - trusted brand and quality - a solid year of usage without issues - no overheating or freeze frames - tried on multiple games including Triple A titles - prolonged usage on streaming platforms (binge watching 🤣) - overall excellent and quality product So conclusion is, just buy it

I edited my comment as i am having problems on this design. Plugging in the power when the battery almost low, shuts down the laptop and won’t turn back on. Had it repaired as it was still under warranty. mother board was damage and had it replaced. From time to tine Monitor black out and had it hard reseted 3 times before monitors display something. 3 months after buying problems starts to appear. Pretty much disappointed on this laptop.

اللابتوب مكملش 6 شهور وكارت الشاشة نيفيديا باظ ومبقاش يظهر فى ابلكيشن اسوس وبيظهر رسالة الخطأ التالية والدعم الفني لم يفدنى فى شئ There is a problem with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU device. For more information, search for 'graphics device driver error code 43'

Contrary to the shown images, the laptop does not contain a numeric keypad!!!
