Great but not perfect…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid laptop but with a few simple complaints from me. I received an open box package by choice but so far I’m already scheduling a repair on the hdmi port. The performance is pretty great but I do feel like I’m doing something wrong because I feel like it should be better still. For instance, my performance is surprisingly stuttery in Fortnite… a game that should at this point be optimized to work on many devices. (Keep in mind I am using the built in turbo power plan in hopes of having the best performance). I am currently having a problem with the hdmi port causing flickering on my display but the warranty should take care of that. This is not deal breaking as it is still a very solid laptop in factors such as build quality and such and I’m confident my problems have a resolution.

Ram eater
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely beautiful computer! Only issue I have with it is that’s the 16gb they gave with this computer for the price you pay isn’t worth it. Also the computer eats ram horribly.

great for gaming, ok for video editing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.one of the best laptop screens for gaming and handles them pretty well. Used mostly for video editing and handled intensive presets like Dehancer but it did take awhile to render but for basic editing projects with simple cuts, it will work well but I decided to just get the m3 max.

Great and disappointing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the G16 for 2 days and im going to return it. Yes, the screen is great and the audio is great. The power is adequate as well. The main problem is the RAM. And it’s not the obvious complaint of there only being 16 gb of RAM. it’s worse than that. So far I’ve only installed steam, the Xbox app and a few games. With no tabs open and nothing running, with the laptop at idle, around 9 gb of RAM are always in use. This leaves you with only 7 gb of RAM to try and run games with. I know there are things you can do to cut that down, but the problem is that in the task manager there are hundreds of tasks running at like 20 MBs and that makes up the vast majority of the applications that are using up all that RAM. There is no single application using up huge chunks of RAM that you can shut down to free up some memory. Aside from that major deal-breaking issue: it does run pretty hot after even just 5 minutes of gameplay. Gameplay that stutters constantly because you’re out of RAM, I should add. It seems manageable if the RAM wasn’t such an issue. Also, I should mention that the fans aren’t nearly as bad as some reviews and YouTubers have suggested. They are just normal sounding fans. Anyways, i think the laptop life just isn’t for me. Its too expensive for lesser performance and a smaller screen. Id rather just take the money I spent on this and put some of it into upgrading my pc and getting an oled panel while still having some money left over.

Posted .Dear JaysWay13,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if it didn't meet your expectations. On the contrary, lots of satisfied customers, having positive experience using the product, will agree that this laptop will run popular games without compromising system stability and performance as long as Windows is up to date. The preinstalled 16GB RAM is adequate. Surely, upgrading the RAM size will enhance system performance.
It is normal that excessive heat is generated while under heavy load especially during gaming, WINDOWS Update and antivirus scan. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. Please ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While gaming, please ensure no resource hungry applications are running
in the background, this will definitely spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
