    Nice unit at the sale price. Display is great not sure how the 2-video card thing works but. Key board lights up Touch pad works. And believe it or not a lot of bloat ware. Even better after I upgraded the RAM to 64gb and added a 4tb M.2. Easy upgrade only real problem is a small cable covers the second m.2 slot, but it was easy to work the SSD under it into place.

    A reasonably light 2-1 touchscreen gaming laptop with an RTX3060 an over 8 hours of useful battery life. No other one exists. The screen is very good and both the RTX3060 and the AMD internal GPU perform well. Also has a connection for an external GPU which I personally do not consider to be important. Would not buy for $1999 but at BestBuy Open Box prices, it is a steal.

    I love this laptop. I picked it up. Open box not a scratch on it. Great screen quality. Great performance after upgrading the memory of course but easy fix! I love that there are two slots for NVME drives on this board and I have the option of upgrading down the road with the EGPU from ASUS. This laptop has been great for productivity and gaming.

    The Asus ROG Strix G16 is a gaming laptop that packs a punch in a surprisingly compact and stylish package. It boasts potent specs, a gorgeous display, and a cyberpunk aesthetic that screams gamer cred. However, like any machine, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Let's dive into the details:

    Build quality is fantastic, screen and speakers are really good on this laptop. 3060 which is older but can play just about anything.10hr battery life with the iGPU enabled for basic tasks. Got this laptop for $950 open box excellent, highly satisfied for that price.

    I bought this because the miniled version was out of production but overall returned it for an OLED Gaming laptop. The goods Battery life- Decent won't last a whole work day but then again its a gaming laptop I would get roughly 4-5 hours. Keyboard- RGB and very good tactility form factor- a 2-1 gaming laptop is unique they did a good job with it. bad- I had pretty bad backlight bleed on the IPS panel buggy- Even after bios update and all the windows updates I would get some random crashes to the point I ended up actually returning the laptop

    I love this laptop! One of the few glass screen laptops that folds into a tablet, but has the high quality gaming parts. It’s super fast and runs my sims 4 with all the packs and mods like a champ. I haven’t upgraded my computer in 7+ years so this was the best thing I could move up to. Definitely recommend.

    overall pretty good. nicely powerful, lightweight and versatile design. trackpad is smooth and lighting effects are nice. the plastic body is super fragile and gets scratched and oily easily. the software is a bit glitchy and unstable, like when waking from sleep, sometimes it won't wake or I lose all my browser tabs.

    Great Screen, but Issues With XG Mobile and Pricey

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the Asus ROG Flow X16 today and I am impressed at the screen, the RTX 3060 (Compared to the RTX 3050 Ti in Asus ROG Flow X13 and Z13), and its performance. Playing CS:GO, the 165 Hz Refresh Rate does not disappoint, and the mini-LED screen makes game play amazing. The reason why I am giving this product three stars are as follows: 1) Charging using USB-C (either independently or with XG Mobile) does not like to be charged. It constantly switches Power Supply-Battery-Power Supply modes at irregular intermittence. 2) When connected to the XG Mobile (RTX 3080 variant), in addition to the power supply issue above, the XG Peripherals (USB connection, HDMI/display port) would constantly disconnect as well. 3) The Price. Even with the $250 discount, I feel the price is too high for this laptop. The processor performance is in-between the 2021 Asus X13 and the Asus Z13 with Asus Z13 having the best performance (all three models have 16GB RAM). I bought this 2-in-1 to see if it is a worthy replacement to the MSI GS65 Stealth (i7-9750H, 32GB ram, RTX 2060). Aside from better battery, better screen, and slightly faster processing performance; the price, the amount of RAM it is supplied with, and the downsides listed above makes it hard to justify if I like the Asus X16 replacing my MSI GS65.

    Very smooth, fast, capable laptop, but it is slightly bulky/heavy for the tablet feature. The bluetooth device can be buggy at times, but this was mostly improved with firmware updates. Recommend expanding internal storage for gaming.

    A better 16" version of the X FLOW lineup! This laptop is both portable and powerful, with the ability to turn into a tablet and a full gaming laptop! This laptop was a great deal because the price at full was a little unaffordable, but wow, was this laptop a diamond in the rough! It can be on par to an ASUS ROG Strix computer lineup with an RTX 3070, even though this laptop itself has an RTX 3060, it's performance is even more better because of the MUX switch, capable of using just the graphics card directly instead of communicating with the CPU for even faster speeds and performance in gaming! On top of that, the touchscreen is a premium touch along with its 1440p/2K resolution that made every media even crisper! This laptop has even greater battery life in the ECO mode with GPU off, the Ryzen 9 6900HX is long lasting and powerful! hats off to TSMC for making the Ryzen chipsets even FASTER!

    I have had issues with this laptop since the day it arrived. I upgraded from a laptop with an i3 and 4 gigs of ram and the performance is better, but not nearly enough to justify the price or what you would expect from the stats this laptop has. Another huge issue with this laptop is that (even after updating the BIOS) it has a tendency to randomly restart with no warning. The touchpad is extra large which is cool and the touchscreen works great, picture is nice and sharp. Fan can get pretty loud. Not a bad laptop (aside from the restarting issue) just not what I was expecting.

    Works great, it’s pretty quick, great screen resolution and gaming action. Fan can seem a bit loud for some & screen turns off & on every time I either connect it to the power during low battery or disconnect it upon fully charged. It blinks off & back on. Not sure if that’s standard with these models. I also received heavier network security alerts on this device compared to others in the household. It was frequently targeted, not sure why? Otherwise I’d rated it higher but still recommend it.

    I purchased this item over a different brand, because I was looking for a device with good graphics. When I received it, it looked really good. However, the first night I had it, it did the infamous update and ever since the colors are off. I tried the settings but was not able to improve them. I sent an email to ASUS support, but never heard back. That was approximately a month ago. I am not impressed by ASUS support or the computer, but it is OK. I especially like the color of the hardware.
