A really fast and powerful laptop with great storage. Runs most triple A games on high with a pretty good monitor that can display hdr but unfortunately can’t run it, the only other complaint is maybe the battery life that lasts around 5 hours or less depending on whether or not your on power saving mode.
But overall I highly recommend it this product!

This laptop has been amazing, I use it for VR titles like Assetto Corsa (modded), BeamNG, and more. Absolutely no issues. Cooling is rather impressive, using GHelper on the turbo preset, GPU and CPU temps usually max out around 75c. If you have a gaming laptop, you know these temps are low!
Display is fine, nothing special. I use it docked anyways 90% of the time so I don't need OLED or 1440p.
Battery life is fine, nothing special, you shouldn't expect long battery life from a gaming laptop, they love to be plugged in.
Overall an amazing laptop for the price, even a better laptop for the current sale price :D

This thing is amazing. Being a gaming laptop I was expecting it to be big and heavy, but it's not. It is a nice size and not overly heavy, I already took it on one work trip.
My only complaint would be the amount of ram 16gb seemed low considering the rest of the specs. Thankfully that was easily fixed by removing the old ram and adding in 64gb. All you have to do is remove a few screws on the bottom. There is also an extra spot to add another ssd.

I bought this laptop almost 2 weeks ago because I was going out of town for a few months and I wanted something that was similar performance wise to my desktop at home, and thats exactly what I got! So far ive had no issues, performance is great, and the build of the entire laptop is gorgeous. I would recommend to anyone that gets this laptop or any asus branded laptop to uninstall armoury crate and install G helper. Its a lot of a less bloated software and super easy to use. Ive tweaked my fan curves easily and undervolted my cpu. It does basically everything armoury crate does except its less of a hassle. If you are in the market for a laptop, this is the one.

Strix G16 5070ti 9HX, 30 day review

Sick laptop! Went on sale a couple weeks after I bought it, lame. Plan to put 32gb mem in it, other than that it's a beast! Plays Ark maxed out settings, it's amazing! No issues at all. Asus always comes through for the win, I won't buy anything else when it comes to laptops. Battery lasts over an hour playing Ark or Fall Out 4. It's quiet at full speed. Best Buy shipping is NEVER on time, always 3-5 days late, always an issue. This laptop makes me happy, can't wait to tell the wife what I bought! LOL!

The computer is very fast, the fans keep the computer at a maximum of 80 degrees, and games can be played at maximum quality without any problems.
I use it for architecture, and it supports rendering and 3D modeling programs perfectly. In short, it's a very good machine.

A laptop for those with disposable income, a strong desire to leave the laptop docked/attached to a charger and does not want to use cloud gaming – ever?
What was impressive with this device?
Keyboard and front edge lighting, transparent qwerasdf keys and space bar.
Movie & streaming playback quality and sound was phenomenal.
Downloaded or emulated games played very well. No hiccups playing Goldeneye or Crusin’ on project64 or playing any downloaded games through my xbox app. Using a wired controller was best for response time and had no input delays, but I did have a few issues when bluetooth connecting my xbox remote.
What is bad?
ASUS Support: I contacted them 3 days ago to see what I could do to fix or reduce all of the problems I have listed below, and nobody has reached back out to me yet.
Battery Life: No matter what I did on this laptop, while not connected to a charger I was losing 2-4% battery life PER MINUTE. For 3 different use cycles, a 100% battery was drained down to less than 30% battery in 45 minutes. The first test, I just had windows updates, ASUS software updates, and a game downloading in the background. 45 minutes later, power saving kicked in and I had to connect the laptop to a charger. For the second test I went through some emails, played Microsoft solitaire for 20 mins, and had the keyboard backlight on, which produced the same results (after 45 minutes, I was prompted to plug it back into the charger.) For the last test, I have been trying to take some screenshots while writing this review…I’m at the 20 minute mark and I lost 40% of my battery life already ☹
Cloud Gaming: These aren’t the non-downloaded games you are looking for… I tried to use xbox cloud gaming three different times, with 3 different games and all of them were blurry/choppy, had severe input lag, and were entirely UNPLAYABLE.
So, why 2 stars?
Since the retail price of this laptop is $2,000, and is touted as a gaming laptop, how is it this device cannot play any games from the cloud, and no matter how you use it, you can only leave it off a charger for no more than 50 minutes before you hit critical battery drain levels?
If you have a really short attention span (to stop what you are doing to run and plug this back into a charger) or if you hit it big on crypto or in the last bull market cycle on some stocks, this might be the laptop for you. If you had an expectation to play all kinds of games with this laptop or actually be able to use it for more than an hour off the charger then my suggestion is to keep looking.

Great performance! with a solid build. My only issue is the display brightness and quality. For the price point I would have liked at least a QHD display at least 400 to 500 nits but I believe they probably downsized the RAM & screen quality to keep the costs down all while getting into the RTX 5070TI GPU. I recommend getting a higher-quality external monitor to take full advantage of the GPU's abilities. Other than that, it is a powerhouse & runs AAA games very smooth.

Handles AAA games with ease.
165Hz refresh rate gives smooth, responsive visuals.
Ryzen 9 and NVIDIA GPU deliver fast, consistent performance.
16GB RAM is enough for gaming, streaming, and multitasking.
Thermals are well-managed but fans get loud during intense use.
RGB keyboard adds a clean touch.
Great pick for serious gamers and creators.

Bought this just to try out if gaming laptop is for me or not but ended up loving this little machine so much that I’m keeping it instead of building a PC. The 5070 ti in this thing handles most of the games I throw at it at max settings, granted the resolution in this model is only 1200p but the screen looks fast, crispy and nice enough for me and no issues at all. The CPU is super capable as well no complaints and it compliments my he you well. Only cons I can think of is maybe how loud the fans are when you set it up to Turbo or Manual but it’s a laptop and it’s a beast for the price so not really a deal breaker for me. Upgrading the ram and ssd is super easy as well so overall, I’m super happy with this thing. Most likely last me a few years before I even think about upgrading or build another PC

I adore this laptop. It's so beefy and can handle just about anything currently out at high settings or better, but most importantly to me it is quiet and cool. The fan system ASUS created for this beast really cuts down on noise and heat, making it very comfortable to use at home near my family. The screen is good but just good, not great. Older LED tech and it shows.

This laptop is amazing! It can run any game on high to ultra settings, and the CPU and GPU stay cool even under heavy load. The 165Hz refresh rate on the screen is also fantastic. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to game on the go.

So far this laptop has worked wonderfully. I can play games easily without lag, or shutting down, the graphics are great. The best part is it doesn't heat up like crazy even if I play for over an hour. This is a great gaming laptop.

An absolute fantastic machine. I bought it after buying the HP Victus 16.1 /w 4070 a few months back. It feels like another device completely, no chunkiness but feels sturdier, fan noise is by far lower, performance are over the top, not that I can compare - the specs here are a lot better.
Also, it's a lot nicer in looks and general feel.
It's the cheapest and best gaming laptop available in the world by a known brand name.
I'm thinking about anything negative to say, and just can't.
What a piece of technology that brings such light to a gamer+creator+local AI user's life.
I can't belive I got this miracle into my life for 1600~$ after shipping and tax.
Oh, also, it has a dedicated battery care feature as I don't leave home with it much, to only charge to 80% so it won't hurt the battery after two years of constant charging to 100%.

Coming from an hp victus, this laptop is great. Its able to handle triple A games at high and even ultra settings while getting over 60fps. The screen is good for me as I’m not very picky on what screen I use as long as I can see everything and it’s very smoove. Also having a 3ms input latency is great. Battery life is what you expect from a gaming laptop. It can handle everyday tasks with a couple hours left over but most wouldn’t get a gaming laptop without trying to be plugged in during gaming sessions. Overall a great laptop that exceeded my expectations. Would definitely recommend for any gamer if a screen is not the biggest deal in the world to you
