Title: Amazing performance, beautiful build
Review: The new ASUS ROG STRIX G16 gaming laptop I tried out has exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and graphics capabilities. The sleek but robust metal construction of the laptop provide durability and luxury, making it a standout choice for gaming enthusiasts. The graphics performance of this laptop is exceptional from the graphics card and delivering stunning visuals and smooth gameplay that enhance the overall gaming experience, much better from a laptop than i expected. The high-resolution display and advanced graphics technology bring games to life with vibrant colors and sharp detail. Overall, the ASUS G16 has exceeded my expectations, keeping cool under heavy loads, running games well, and a bulletproof build.5/5 from a gamer.

Title: Very fast and reliable for business and gaming
Review: I had to replace my 10+ year old laptop and researched many brands and processor types. This one seemed to be the best in terms of a fast processor, large disk space and decent memory with the bonus of an awesome NVIDIA graphics cards for playing the newest games. Also very affordable at around $1000. I loaded several memory and processor intensive games like Call of Duty and others and this PC kicked butt. I am very happy with this purchase and hope to use this baby for another 10+ years.

Title: Excellent Deal! Great Gaming Laptop!
Review: 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 SSDWorks 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 TGP2. i7-13650HX - beats my Ryzen-7 5800H on my Legion 5 Pro3. RGB bar looks awesome!4. Battery 90WhNeutral: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!

Title: Amazing machine
Review: It's a big and beautiful laptop that slurps up all games like jam while staying very quiet by laptop standards. Expect high framerates and few frame dips thanks to high CPU limits, but with a few caveats.Pros:1. It is insanely fast and quiet. Balanced mode fans are around 40 dB (about as quiet as a desktop) but you can make them run much louder in Turbo mode.2. Good display. The 165Hz screen is quite good and fast, slightly better gamut then my previous laptop. The 16:10 ratio is also really nice for games and productivity apps. Mine has a slight green tint but only when using the iGPU, switching to Nvidia removes it. Which means it's probably a software issue (see "Cons" below)3. It runs cool. While playing endgame Dyson Sphere Program (basically a CPU stress test) the CPU doesn't even reach 80 degrees and manages to squeeze out 60+ fps where my old Ryzen 7 4800H would crap out and struggle to cough up 35 fps.Cons:1. Asus software is horrible, it's like it was coded by interns. This is the main reason I took one star off the review, out of the box MyAsus and Armoury Crate hog CPU and RAM and are constantly fighting against Windows' settings and each other. They can cause constant freezes and weird bugouts like the screen colors going haywire. Even after replacing them with G Helper, there are still a few lingering issues I have to be wary of.2. Bad battery life. Out of the box it runs like 5 hours max, 4 hours if you disable the screen battery saver (60 Hz is nauseating). Definitely going to need to lug that huge power brick around.3. The middle fan is very high-pitched like the ones you'd find in thinner laptops. It can be distracting for some, personally I'm on the fence. It is still very quiet and even gets drowned out by external speakers or headphones.4. Gaudy design. The lightbar is obviously annoying and the keys are pretty much unreadable without backlight on, which I really hate. The 4-zone RGB keyboard is also poorly executed, it looks patchy and has very limited color range. Typing on it feels very good though, it has full-size keys, high travel and good feedback. I just wish it had a numpad or a dedicated Home, End, PgUp and PGDown keys, there's a lot of wasted space on the deck.Overall I'm still very happy with my package, would recommend it to anyone who wants a well cooled laptop with insanely high performance with a tradeoff of portability and battery.And Asus, please fix your damn software.

Review: A mis casi 3 meses de uso (creo) , ya no recuerdo bien haha vale cada centavo calidad-precio , me corre todos los juegos a tope sin problemas a mas de 80 y con DLSS pues mucho mejor , eso si no uso ray tracing, en monitor 2k tambien la he probado un par de veces y los juegos no bajan de 60 obvio no superan los 80 pero pues esta bien para el precio repito, en mi caso solo la queria para cuando saliera de viaje y estoy mas que satisfecho, no he tenido ningun tipo de problema , tiene un poco de fuga de luz pero nada del otro mundo , la mia tiene un casi imperceptible coil whine,pero tienes que acercar la oreja para poder darte cuenta de el , y no , cuando juego tampoco se esucha .Muy buena laptop.

Review: 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 âcoil whineâ.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 teorÃa que me la abrió la aduana porque la caja venÃa 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.
