The ROG Strix G16 is the third Strix we've reviewed in a still-ripening 2023. Based on recent experience, the choice to downsize to a 16-inch model is a good one. We see that the 4080 fits perfectly between the RTX 4090 and RTX 4070. In the ROG Strix G16, the GeForce graphics card is finally able to show off its capabilities.

The Asus ROG Strix G16 is an excellent sub-$2000 gaming laptop. Its closest competitor is the Gigabyte Aorus 15X, which cost a little more but gives you a higher resolution display at 2560 x 1600, but the ROG Strix makes up with an additional three hours of battery life. In addition to impressive gaming performance, thanks to Nvidia’s latest RTX 4070 GPU, the Asus ROG Strix G16 emphasizes the power packed into Intel’s new Raptor Lake mobile processors, particularly when paired with Nvidia’s flagship GeForce RTX 40 GPUs. To the impressive performance, the laptop rocks a solid build quality, modest RGB lighting, and a comfortable keyboard. Granted the 1920 x 1200 resolution is a bit awkward given the kind of hardware that this laptop is packing, but you have the option to upgrade to 2560 x 1600 for a little more money.

The Asus ROG Strix G16 is a great gaming laptop — as long as you’re not looking at the display. It’s not a terrible panel, but it doesn’t deserve to be in a $2,000 laptop. Yes, the performance is great, the battery is long, and the keyboard is comfy, but I need pretty in my life. If you care more about the display, check out the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15, which offers a more competitive display for a similar price. However, you’d be losing out on some sick performance gains from the Asus ROG Strix G16. If you’re someone who doesn’t bother too much with your display, then this gaming laptop might be for you.

Asus also misses a few marks on the speakers and webcam, but they don’t affect gaming performance at all. Even with these tradeoffs, the Asus ROG Strix G16(2023) deserves a top spot on your shopping list as a capable, 16-inch gaming laptop with a stellar design and lots of gaming firepower at a reasonable price. The Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JI-AS94 (2023) is a powerful gaming laptop that packs the latest Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU and Intel Core i9-13980X Raptor Lake processor in a stylish, durable chassis.

This generation of the Asus ROG Strix G16 is one of the most powerful notebooks available in the mid-tier segments this year. In fact, this is a simplified variation of the Scar 16, with similar barebones, but fewer bells and whistles. And a more competitive price. Potential buyers will, however, have to accept the somewhat questionable aspects of the aesthetics and ergonomics of this series, as well as the fact that the internals run quite hot with demanding loads.

On balance the Asus ROG Strix G16 hits all the right notes for performance, functionality and style. Not only does it deliver excellent CPU and GPU performance, all the ports you need, and a slick cyberpunk attitude, but it also has a gorgeous display and is priced considerably lower than at least one key rival. Sure, it has some shortcomings, like the average battery life, more plastic in its chassis than some competitor laptops, and a low-resolution webcam. But with performance this good, those quirks fall by the wayside.

The ROG Strix G16 (G614, 2023) is a proper gaming device. Its memory and storage can be upgraded – as it should be. Also, the cooling solution is spectacular – it doesn’t need to run the fans too fast, which results in not too much noise during gaming. After all, this is what you expect with that much copper. Let’s not forget the third fan. To be frank, we doubt that it makes much of a difference in terms of sheer cooling performance. However, it is definitely helping with the noise situation, taking advantage of the large heat spreader located on the back of the device. Despite all of that, the Acer Predator Helios 16 (PH16-71) performs slightly better during gaming. And let’s not forget that either of the two laptops is meant for playing games. On the bright side, the ROG Strix G16 features a super comfortable keyboard. It has long key travel, clicky feedback, large Arrow keys, and a Per-key RGB backlight.
