So far so good, still need more time to find out if it is as good as I think or not.

better to but this product , which is working fine battery good backup

This laptop is very fast and has great graphics. Good for gaming

Havent had any issues with it i did add another 2tb 990 pro m.2 and upgraded the ram to a 32 gb kit

Nice laptop. Buy on sale to maximize value. Otherwise, there are better ones.

Good soup. Would soup again. Probably made of soup.

I got a used laptop from Best Buy the physical condition was good but the inside was messed up their was problems with the GPU drivers and with the storage when I first got the laptop but I got those problems sorted out and it runs perfectly

Is do nice that i bought two, my friend love it also

This PC will run your games however constant crashes and lag that i didn't have on my older laptop on the same games. I only upgraded so i could launch and play newer titles, which it does just horribly. Fortnite worked fine on my Strix Advantage however crashes after about an hour of play consistently now no matter what settings or Driver updates/ reinstalls i do.

Great computer, super fast and a huge upgrade! Ready for school and games!

High quality, love the view of how it looks. Expensive but worth the price.

A very good laptop with good memory and the quality is excellent.

Good overall computer, bulky, but performs well. Keyboard feels nice too

I got my new Asus ROG Strix G16 about a week ago and I have been very impressed with its performance. I have been playing new and old games alike and having a blast taking some of my old saves to higher levels with my new found access to this laptops superior processing capabilities. Before I get into all that, I want to take a step back. I have been an avid PC gamer since the release of The Bards Tale in 1985 when I was 13. But it wasn’t until 1990 and 91 when Simcity and then Civilization came out that I really found my gaming passion. Those potentially massive, sprawling simulation type games that though awesome would often expand to the point that my poor computer would be on the verge of a meltdown. Did I finally find a computer that can handle all I can build? I don’t know if it can handle anything, but it’s handling everything I have ever built better than any computer I have ever owned. As soon as I took this beast out of the box it felt like I had a well engineered piece of technology in my hands. Everything about it feels sturdy and solid. The hinge action between the base and screen feels so smooth yet strong. The overall aesthetic is charming. I like the whole Republic of Gamers motif. First thing I did was to test the speakers. I started off listening a variety of musical artists and then chunks of a few of my favorite movies. I have probably owned 7 laptops in my life, by far and away the best sounding laptop I’ve had. Of course it’s not going to compete with top shelf headphones or some high end gaming speakers, but it sounds decent. I could watch a movie on this thing and not be overly pining for my other audio options. I’ve never thought that about any laptop I’ve owned. Speakers exceeded expectations. The video quality is also solid. I don’t think I would say exceeds expectations, but meets the high expectations I had going in. I started with movies, then sports and ultimately my library of my favorite games and I was satisfied at every step. The screen always looks bright and crisp with no screen tearing or other visual bugs of any sort. I am however someone who only uses my laptop indoors. It doesn’t look bright outdoors in the sun, I have had laptops do better in this one area. As far as the rest of the features, I would have to say meets or exceeds expectations in every category. The keyboard is large, responsive and satisfying to the touch. The cooling, oh the cooling capabilities! Those fans can get a little loud once on high spin but the work very well. I had the laptop on my tray on my lap for a few hours while pushing it with some intense gaming and it never got what I would consider “hot”. The battery life is also solid. When using it for non gaming activities I was able to keep It unplugged all day using it off and on with no issues. I love the little LED light bar that wraps around the front of the machine. It’s a fun little aesthetic pleaser. The final area I wanted to touch on was game performance. I have been doing this long enough and seen so many changes and upgrades and new benchmarks that all I really care about anymore is…how do my games perform? As I mentioned before my preferred gaming options are simulations where you continue to grow your city, theme park or intergalactic empire! When playing on the largest maps, all of these games seem to eventually slow at some point. Eventually there are too many people, guests, planets, units, farms or trees swaying in the wind. This laptop gave me the best performance of any computer I have owned on many of my games. I was particularly curious to see how one of my all time favorites, Planet Coaster, would do. This game doesn’t take advantage of the multi threading capabilities of modern processors. I loaded up the largest park I ever built and removed the guest cap. It ran smooth and I could easily continue building on the map! Every game I love playing performs fantastic on this machine. Games I tried old saves on where I new felt I could expand further include Planet Coaster 1 and 2, Planet Zoo, City Skylines 2, Tropico 6, and Civilization 6. Games I tired that just performed better include Out of the Park Baseball (sim time noticeable cut) and Dragons Dogma 2. All in all I am a huge fan of this machine. Sure, the fans can get a little loud at times and the screen could be a little brighter as to be able to use it better outdoors. But at the end of the day this is a very powerful and impressive machine that is beautiful and feels well built. I have had enough quality Asus products in my life now that they are really starting to build up some brand loyalty with me as well. If I knew someone looking for a solid gaming laptop in this price range I would absolutely recommend it to a friend. Well done Asus!

Very glitchy. The screen went black for no reason. Keyboard backlight went out for no reason and the only way to turn it back on was to restart the laptop.

the laptop is awesome but has a small screen size for the graphics card. also, during the promotion you could get doom the dark ages for free on purchasing a 50 series laptop and i still have yet to get my copy. after countless days and hours and money spent they still wont give me my game...

I'm digging this new machine. ASUS has really drilled down and made a serious gaming laptop at this size, I'm impressed. This is my first 16" gaming machine, I've always stuck with the 17 and 18 inch machines. The case is sturdy and chunky, feels good to pick up. It has nice lip to open the screen and on the back for your finger to catch for carrying- the base has a lot of underside air space to pull in cool air. The plastics used for the case are sturdy and don’t offer any obvious causes for concern. The power connection for the 280 watt adapter has a looser feeling to it straight out of the box, but it makes a solid electrical connection- perhaps the power connector has some play in it to reduce wear or damage from the cord moving around? You'll need the power adapter for full tilt gaming, but it can also accept up to 100 watts from a PD 3.0 charger or dock via the rearmost USB4 port for more mundane uses. The AMD Ryzen 9 8840HX in this model is not the latest from AMD, but it’s quite enough for everything I can throw at it. With 16 cores and 32 threads being fed up to 65 watts with manual mode, the ASUS factory software seems to have minimal effect on performance, I didn’t notice any chugging, freezes or hiccups that I almost experience from other factory bloatware. This machine comes with the NVIDIA "5070ti Laptop" graphics chip with an available 140 watts from the computer to allow it to run at it’s full potential. While it's not on par with a desktop 5070ti (NVIDIA, please stop it), this is a massive step up from my previous 4070 Laptop chip. The GPU has 12GB of DDR7, so it's able to play newer games at higher resolutions than something that still has 8GB. While playing Battlefield 2042, the Strix G maintained 145 fps playing on a 1440p monitor for more than 2 hours. The new Star Wars Outlaws game looks gorgeous and is glassy smooth on the built-in 1900x1200 IPS(ish) panel with roughly only a 20% fps hit when I connected it to my monitor. This GPU seems like it should be able to handle almost everything out there, I was even able to play Civilization VII at high settings maintaining great frame rates and fast AI turns. The 5070ti in here makes this machine worthwhile, and I'll be ignoring the 5060 and 5050 lines, they're not worth it. All of that power going to the CPU and GPU in this tiny case makes a lot of heat. Cooling on this laptop is great. I do not have to put it up on my fan stand to keep it cool, which I need to do on my other gaming laptop, the ASUS never seems to heat soak, so I’ve seen no throttling slowdowns at all. The fans on this ASUS are loud like most gaming laptops, but the fans do not have quite the same dentist's drill quality of others I have used - seriously, it's the most bearable fan noise since the 17" G752 of old. I would still recommend gaming with headphones for the sake of your hearing and sanity. The Armoury Crate software is fairly intuitive but RGB controls are stuck in the system settings from the main page, not the Aura tab where it makes sense for it to be. None of the controls in there do anything on this laptop, likely due to the cut down RGB set up. The problem is it doesn’t work the way it should seem. Not a big deal for me. The controls for Turbo mode switching are there, you can set profiles for each of your games, it does a good job recognizing my games from different launchers and stores, bringing them together in one spot. The MyASUS software included for warranty, system info, and other things has a nice looking feature that claims to be able to talk to my ASUS router, but it doesn’t work unless the router is on the default port, so I passed on that. It’s a good idea though. There is no Windows Hello camera or fingerprint reader (it’s 2025, boo!), the RGB is 4 “zone” rather than the per key RGB on the ASUS site. This model does not have the light up numpad in the trackpad which is also on the ASUS site. The higher end models of this machine have more features as well as the latest 9955HX3D processor coming sometime soon. I don’t think any of my gaming would even be able to make use of that processor and the one ASUS chose to use for this rig is more than I think I’ll ever be able to use. The backlighting for the keyboard is...bad, the keyboard itself is a laptop membrane keyboard with improved feel and shorter actuation, but it's overly flat and slippery. It seems like a waste, as Cherry makes laptop switches. The keys are not shot through, they are painted on top and will likely wear through with use. However, in my use, none of this matters because the machine is so good at gaming off to the side connected to my monitors and keyboard/mouse. I have a feeling that's the kind of use ASUS had in mind when they made this model. I'm only going to be using the laptop keyboard when traveling. Even with what I consider missing features, the ultra smooth gaming experience using the ASUS G614PR makes it worth the treasure and trouble, recommended!

Returning it. It is a gaming laptop but you cannot play games with it. Keeps freezing all the time. It started with momentary freezes in every second. Then it became worst. It stucks and I need to reset it. There is a major issue with something I don't know.

The computer had an excellent open box rating but it restarted and threw a blue screen every time I tried to play something

I really wanted to like this laptop: great specs, solid built, aesthetically pleasing, and fast. However, blue screen of death (BSOD) appeared on the second day. I thought that things would get better with updates, etc. Instead, BSODs became more frequent within a week, reaching 8 occurrences on the day before I returned it. Also, it seemed to get worse with ASUS's awful Armoury Crate application. I hope that other customers had better experiences than mine.
