Asus ROG Strix G16 review: fast and more affordable, at a cost
- The Asus ROG Strix G16 is a fast laptop featuring AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX3D chipset and Nvidia's midrange RTX 5070 Ti.
- It offers solid gaming and creative performance, with a reasonably affordable price point starting at $2,000.
- However, the laptop disappoints with its IPS display, average keyboard and touchpad, and being thick and heavy.
- Configurations include different chipsets, RAM, SSD sizes, and display options, with the reviewed model priced at $2,500.
- Design-wise, the ROG Strix G16 features plastic external chassis, aluminum lid, and aggressive gamer aesthetics with venting.
- The laptop's cooling system includes Asus's Tri-Fan technology and Condoctonaut Extreme liquid metal to keep internals cool.
- The keyboard lacks a numeric keypad but offers comfortable typing, while the touchpad is decent, but most gamers may prefer a dedicated mouse.
- Connectivity includes USB4 and legacy ports, an Ethernet port, and a 1080p webcam, though some users may find the wireless connectivity slightly outdated.
- In terms of performance, the ROG Strix G16 with Ryzen 9 9955HX3D chipset and RTX 5070 Ti provides solid gaming and creative power at lower prices compared to higher-end models.
- While gaming performance is strong, the display on the ROG Strix G16 falls short in brightness, color accuracy, and HDR capabilities compared to premium laptops.
- Battery life on the ROG Strix G16 is decent for a gaming laptop, lasting up to 5 hours in typical usage scenarios, but extensive gaming or creative work will require the power brick.
