ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop, 16” Nebula Display 16:10 QHD 240Hz, GeForce RTX 4060, Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX, 16GB DDR5-5600, 1TB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11, G614JVR-ES94

This thing is powerful. Definitely gets hot, so I'd recommend a cooling pad. Performs better than my desktop (3070ti, ryzen 7 3700x). Haven't seen any info on whether or not it has an additional m.2 slot, so I'd like to know that before cracking it open (did so on my 2022 version). Tampering with Armorycrate and power saving settings allows me to get a good 6+ hours of battery life, totally serviceable for school use though I keep the power cord and a battery bank close at hand anyway. Somewhat annoyed by the lack of USB A connectors, there's only 2. There are 2 USB C connectors which is nice, but I don't have anything to leverage those at the moment. I preferred having the ports on the back rather than the sides as they now interfere with the workspace, but understand the sacrifice for cooling. Haven't run into any issues as of yet, a month after purchase. Very satisfied.

Amazing capability for a laptop.

Runs hot regardless of what you're doing on it so I added an underneath fan stand but other than that, does whatever it needs too. Functions great. Weight is just light enough for an on board graphics card, battery life is adjustable to what you want it to be set to but I haven't had issues. A little on the high side price wise but you get what you pay for. Definitely not a 3k dollar iCrap even has easily accessible virtual machine if you like to run stuff outside your o.s. set up was as easy as it gets for tech these days.

Screen went wash washed with swirling colors the first day I got it, which is today. I shut the lid and when I open it it's white washed. I tried turning it on and off, nothing. So now I'm trying to reset it to see if that works. For the amount of money I paid for. 14gen gaming laptop that I was very excited to get, I shouldn't have to go through this 1st day. This is insane. Reset brought my screen back, but I am worried it's going to do it again. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. I hope I don't have to return it. To be continued.....edit: 9/12/2024I've had it for a few months now, and it's starting to feel like I've had it for a year with these tech issues, and bugs. I seem to be having some issues. Armory crate Aura sync I wouldn't be able to access it after my laptop sleeps or is restarted, and I would have to restart it a second time to be fixed. Even unable to change dynamic lighting setting would be stuck on one of them even if I click the others the light wouldn't change over, and I have to restart. Sims 4 keeps crashing no matter what I do. Sometimes my lockscreen picture would be met with no picture and a black screen, and I would have to restart to get it back. It just feels buggy.update. 4/13/2025I had to send it in to be repaired back in December 2024. It works fine now. The whole motherboard had to be replaced along with the hard drive and fan. Good thing this came with a warranty because all these issues happened way after the return date. For a brand new system this was insane. Do not get this product.

I love the fact that the laptop has a desktop-level processor along with a 4060 driver to unleash its potential (Although 4060 is bare minimum for gaming in today's market). I love the flashiness (USP of ROGs) and opted for an ROG as I had one before (Strix Hero 2) and the compliments I got along with my usage experience has been top-notch - Decided my next rig should be a ROG device as well and well, here I am with the new one! Oh, and the display, ROGs display has been one of the best I've come across and this rig with its 240Hz WQXGA display is stunning!The only reason I'd mark it down by a star is for the logo being engraved and not supporting RGB and the trackpad on a high-priced device not getting the numpad feature. Numpad and RGB logo is something I'd miss from my Hero 2!But overall, a nice and much awaited update! I am happy with the purchase and I'd say, if you need a laptop which is amazing for its use case, has an amazing quality and great design that could turn heads (trust me, this is one of the reason I stick with the ROG), this is a fabulous device you could spend on.

Amazing laptop

I don't have too much to say about it. It runs about as well as my PC at home, if not better.I've used it to play AAA titles and MMOs in the late evening while on trips out of town, to do work for college, coding & my job. It's a great laptop.A few things to consider. While the numpad that's build into the touchpad is neat at first... it's just a nuisance when your catch your hand on it while gaming & then you're hitting random buttons on accident. Also, the resolution isn't 16:9, it is 16:10. You're going to have issues getting the full screen to be filled for some games & you're going to lose 1-2 inches of screen to black-bars in games such as Elden Ring.However, I feel like the 16:10 resolution provides for a more compact laptop shape. I have a 16:9 laptop & it feels so lopsided to use or carry around. This one feels great. Plus you have more vertical space for say, writing a program in VSCode or the like. So it's a bit of a give & take there.PSA - I'm told ASUS customer service is horrible these days. If you have any issues with your laptop, please be warned you might be best off seeking other routes for repairs. Even if you are in warranty. There's plenty of videos on Youtube about it. Gamers Nexus is the one that alerted me to the potential issue.

It’s exactly what it stated for me specs n all no trouble ordering n receiving, runs great looks amazing. My first laptop was well worth the moneyi9 14900 4070Not bad
