great laptop for gaming no issues at all would recommend for light gaming

I use this laptop to produce music and play videos games and it does a good job in both, I really recommend it.

Works great. It's on par with my nephew's pc. Get some headphones if you're gaming it gets a little loud.

Overall nice laptop i like how responsive it is and i love using it for my games

Amazing computer that can run anything. No problems with it what soever

Really a 4.5. Battery life isn’t great, only decent after tweaking and it’s disappointing Best Buy is the only place it’s available and it comes with 8gb soldered RAM + 8gb stick. I knew these two going in, hence only 1 (.5*) star off. Best Buy needs to start carrying models with larger capacity RAM. If we’re willing to buy at this price, of course we’d buy the better RAM option. Debated for a long time between the 2022 G14 and M16. I wanted a white laptop and good battery life. But screen size was important too. Ultimately I decided on the M16 because of the screen size and quality. The G14 wasn’t bad, but it felt cramped. I have a 16:9 15.6” Dell XPS 9570, I wanted my next laptop to be 16:10. The dimensions are very similar with only a couple millimeter difference on either WxDxH. It’s crazy how much a screen size looks/feels different even by just 0.4” going with the M16 (more pronounced going from 15.6” to 14” with the G14). Battery - Keep on Eco Mode, Silent or Windows fan profile and screen at 60Hz when on battery. After some tweaking, I’m able to get on average 6hrs web browsing with 6 tabs of chrome and MS Word. Screen between 50%-70% depending on my environment. Keyboard lights were set to lowest and maybe get another 10mins of battery with it off the entire time. I disabled boost on battery. I noticed enabling energy saver in Windows gave about ~15-30 minutes depending on tasks I was doing. I need to do more tweaking as I know there are some processes I can disable or uninstall and maybe get me up to 7hrs. I still need to play around with the max power setting in Windows Power Plan to see if it’ll work in tandem with boost disabled to squeeze out more battery and without completely gimping the system. I use hibernate when not in use and plus sleep drains battery with Windows’ 10/11 standby sleep. I only put it to sleep when I step away for a short while; >5 but <10 minutes. I think I’d still only be able to get 7hrs at best after doing those other tweaks. Gaming - Turbo Mode. I don’t do benchmarks because those numbers don’t really do anything for me except comparing it to my desktop or other laptop. Also I’ve only had time to play around with FFXIV a bit. Before any tweaking, I was getting between 105-135 FPS in the starting cities Limsa and Gridania. Large fluctuations just depending on how many NPCs, players and objects it had to draw on screen. I jumped into the Aglaia alliance raid to test during actual gameplay. I was able to get 115~120 fps with a mix of high and medium/normal settings (personal preferences). CPU & GPU temps in 90-95 range. Both during raid and city-states. After tweaking power plan for CPU boost: Efficient Aggressive, it had same FPS as before but temps improved a little with CPU maxing at 85 and GPU around 75-82. I played one match on BLOPS: Coldwar with ~160fps with a mix of high and medium settings. Temps were about the same. Great laptop overall. But if you need all day battery life, you can either carry around a battery pack or charger that’ll do 100w PD USB-C or look for another laptop.

Amazing laptop not just in pure performance but also in asthetics as well with an amazing looking screen.

Overall, I'm simply astonished at what levels of power companies have figured out how to cram into laptops. The Asus ROG M16 Hits it out of the park with easily one of the most powerful portable devices you can get your hands on. The only the device that seems to be more packed and powerful than this laptop ends up being almost double the price. Starting out with the unboxing experience, you'll be greeted with a magical tilting up presentation of the laptop when you fold open the box. The laptop simply presents itself for you to easily grab out of the box. Inside you'll also find a surprisingly compact 240 Watt wall charger. The overall exterior design is mostly plastic and there are some different textures, but the chassis can at times feel a little too flexible for how expensive the laptop is. I would of liked to see a little bit more metal on this build. Starting off and powering up the device, it has a very quick boot and the setup process for Windows 11 runs very smoothly. There are some Asus branded applications installed however it was refreshing to see a lack of bloatware on the fairly clean install of Windows 11. Before doing anything I made sure all the drivers and Windows 11 were fully up-to-date. Jumping into things, the display is one of my favorite things on this laptop. The screen is simply outstanding! There’s more than 1080P resolution which makes everything very crisp, it supports up to 165 Hertz refresh rate, it covers 100% of the DCI P3 color space, and has a peak brightness of 500 nits. All of these specifications work well for a vast amount of activities from video editing, photo editing, to gaming. The contrast ratios are great, the black point depth is fantastic, and viewing angles are not bad either. The ability to support display technologies like Dolby vision, adaptive sync and variable refresh rate, and full display calibration, this display really gives this laptop an edge. Getting into performance, this laptop is absolutely packed with power. The new 12th generation Intel chip features a total of 14 cores: 6 high performance cores, and 8 power efficient cores. The CPU can boost to 5 GHz and has a maximum TDP of 115 watts. The combination of the different core types allows Windows 11 to completely optimize power consumption. Windows will seamlessly transition processes and programs between the performance and economy cores as necessary to keep power consumption down, which decreases heat, and increases battery life. The RTX 3070 TI has a peak power consumption of 120 watts and will handle anything you throw at it. Any game I threw at this from Forza, War Zone, to Valorant, the laptop had absolutely no issue blowing the graphics and frame rate out of the water. These two high power consumption devices when combined and running full tilt will definitely stress this machine. Your 240 Watt power adapter will be running full tilt to keep up. Getting into a couple of the minor negatives on this device, it all mostly boils down to the obvious tradeoffs and compromises when you cram this much power in a portable laptop device. You're limited on battery life, but mainly it all comes down to heat. A device like this that generates as much heat as it does is going to be LOUD, there's absolutely no way around it. The fans operator at a speed of MACH 5 and sound like they will levitate the laptop right off the desk. With the plastic design of the case, there’s only so much heat you can dissipate off the CPU and GPU and exhaust out of the machine. For the times you do struggle to dissipate heat, you will definitely run into a thermal throttling issue. Battery life was acceptable when you were doing normal non-gaming activities such as web browsing, watching YouTube videos, listening to music, etc. Launching a game on battery power however very quickly ate up battery life and required plugging in the power adapter. One last minor negative, which is the only one I truly don't understand and have a problem with, is the fact that they soldered 8 GB of RAM to the motherboard. You can swap out the second 8 GB stick of RAM for up to a 32 GB stick of RAM to give you a total of 40 GB, but then you will have mismatched RAM sizes, and obviously won't be able to take advantage of dual channel technology, or simply have perfectly matched memory modules. This seems like a really dumb move on Asus’s part, but in my book it's not enough to take a star off the rating. Other convenient and nice features to highlight: the webcam is only 720P, however it does support Windows Hello facial recognition so you can unlock and authenticate into windows without actually typing a password. The microphone array is touted as performing well, but I found it lacked some clarity and depth in most settings. If you happen to be attempting to use the microphone array while the jet engine fans are running, it will definitely make it worse and make it hard for people to hear you. Noise cancellation will only work so well. The speakers sound great for a laptop, actually get relatively loud, and have a good amount of clarity as well. The the keyboard is laid out well, has good key separation and action, but is a little odd that there's only one zone of RGB LED color. The addition of 4 macro keys is a welcome surprise too. There’s also an additional M.2 NVMe PCIe 2280 FF SSD slot available for storage expansion inside. Overall, if you’re looking for a lightweight, compact, and extremely powerful gaming laptop, you don't have to look any farther. While you’ll have to deal with the compromises and tradeoffs of jet engine loud fans and limited battery life, you can't argue with how much power is packed into this laptop. The amount of tech and features you get in this size is simply unmatched and will continue to blow the competition out of the water. I would have liked to see a little more metal unibody features to help with heat dissipation and cooling and add some rigidity, but that would definitely of added to the cost of the laptop. I’ll continue pushing this laptop and bringing it with me wherever I go.

Very nice quick lil laptop, was disappointed to see that half of the ram is solder on the board, it is very hot after a hour of gaming on it so a table or stand is a must but over all enjoying my new laptop

This has been an amazing laptop so far! The fan is a bit loud at times but that’s only when I’m running a lot of things at once. Love it

This is a dream computer for gamers.But if you added mouse and keyboard and mouse pad varius items as a free part that would be great.

First off the laptop is .78” thick and weighs 4lbs. Secondly this thing can produce over 100FPS in almost every AAA out right now that combo is rare

This laptop is a MONSTER. Haven’t even flinched at anything I’ve thrown at it. Battery life is actually more impressive than I expected.

What a beast of a computer when I bought it. Would buy again once the technology is worth replacing.

im a college student and mac doesnt work for engineering so i decided to get this and works smoothly and runs fast

It is a nice laptop. Nothing super special. Works as it should. You can upgrade RAM and SSD. Battery doesn’t last too long.

Been using it for about 2 weeks now; i tend to pick it up over my Alienware x17 r1. The screen is beautiful, perfect for viewing content and gaming. The Asus Armory software runs really smooth compared to other companies first party software for their laptops. The 3070ti runs the games i play "overwatch" "MW2" perfectly. Like any other gaming laptop it does get loud and hot under heavy load, but a good headset should help with the noise. Only complaint would be having to restart the pc when changing gpu profiles. If you get this on sale its totally worth it!

Awesome computer runs warzone very good I love this

Great for college and gaming. Had this for a little over a year now. Excellent gaming laptop!

One of the best gaming laptop i ever had 10/10 runs smooth
