ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop, 165Hz Display, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060, Intel Core i7-13650HX, 16GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11, G614JV-AS74

I received my new laptop today and wanted to share my initial thoughts.

**Delivery & Packaging:**
– The laptop arrived **on time**, which was great.
– The packaging was **decent**, though I noticed there wasn’t much protection for the screen—if something were to fall on that side, it could be a concern.
– Opening the packaging was **simple and hassle-free**, making the unboxing experience smooth.
– **Removing the laptop** from the packaging was effortless.

**First Impressions & Performance:**
– I was **pleasantly surprised** when the LED lighting turned on—it was a nice touch!
– The laptop **works as intended**—no issues booting up, and everything was pre-installed as expected.

I’ll continue using it and update this review after more extensive use. So far, things are looking good!

My sister and I were both getting new laptops and my sister chose this one. Right off the bat we noticed how much smaller it was than anticipated. For reference, I previously had a 15inch computer and quickly saw this looked much smaller and I was correct.

We measured and it’s approx 13.5 inches with an active screen of about 13inches.

This was really important since we needed laptops that would fully utilize the cintiq 16 aspect ratio and laptops of a smaller size usually results in a smaller working area on the tablet.

My sister still wanted to try and see if 13 inches would be enough and sadly it was not. It’s a big shame too because the laptop seems very well made. I’ve had an ASUS in the past and it lasted me a while so I trust the manufacturer. The silent fans really ARE very silent. The quietest laptop we’ve ever seen. The logo sound is a bit of a jumpscare when turning on the laptop though (it’s the sound of two blades), but I’m sure there’s a way you can turn that off if you’d like. We didn’t get past the set up since we just wanted to see if it was compatible with the Cintiq.

Making this review so that other people know about the incorrect size listing. If you don’t mind getting a laptop that’s three inches smaller than anticipated then this seems like a good choice. If size does in fact matter to you then please look elsewhere. But also keep in mind, this isn’t the only wrong size listing. The Acer 17 laptop I got was in fact 15 inches despite the description. 15 at least uses the full Cintiq work area so I didn’t need to return mine but again it’s weird that you have to assume that what’s listed in the description is going to be off by two to three inches. This is, technically, false advertising.

Vengo de una Asus TUF A15 Ryzen 7 con una RTX 3050/16GB de RAM. Esta Rog G16 i7 RTX4060/16 GB RAM la supera por bastante.

La laptop me llego en perfectas condiciones, sin backlight bleeding ni problemas en la tarjeta grafica. Tampoco el famoso “coil whine”.

La pantalla representa mucho mejor el color y da un poco más brillo que una laptop gamer de gama baja. Bocinas decentes con cierto bass a mi parecer, unas dos rayitas más de volumen y es perfecta.

La sensación del teclado y la construcción general de esta laptop es superior a lo común.

Juegos AAA me los corre excelente. Entre 40fps(high/ultra) a 80fps(medium). En donde se vuelven notables los ventiladores pero tienen un sonido que a mi parecer es acostumbrable.

En tareas básicas en Adobe e internet es realmente silenciosa y no se calienta.

En cuanto a programas de renderizado como referencia de una RTX3050 mobile me tardaban 15 seg por renders, Esta RTX4060 me tarda no más de 6 seg. (Renderizo mobiliario urbano)

En cuanto a la entrega tengo la teoría que me la abrió la aduana porque la caja venía con el sello cortado pero todo bien.

Es un poco más pesada que una laptop gamer básica, me he adaptado bien, sin embargo es algo que notarás.

Update: La laptop no ha presentado mayor problema. Sin embargo después de unos meses de transportandola ya me presentó backlight bleeding ligero. Lo considero normal dado el uso que le doy. Mi recomendación es que la transporten con cuidado.

The laptop performs well, with about 4 months of usage and it is still rock solid.

I buy this for my younger cousin and he love it the quality and the packing was so solid pluse the lightning is so cool ..!!

Received the laptop and it both looks great and works amazingly. I have only downloaded a few of my games to it but the few I did download look amazing! Loads pretty quickly and things look and run so smoothly! This is my first decently priced laptop so I my view may be skewed but I am loving my purchase so far.

Oh my god best purchase of my entire life

I’ve never had a legit gaming laptop so there’s so much I haven’t been able to actually do. This one does it.

The value is 100% worth the money, the performance is fantastic, it doesn’t even get that hot.

A good example for games are Sims 4. I’ve never truly got to play it due to it taking forever to load, and then I couldn’t even do anything when I got into it. With this laptop, it took less than an hour to download all 50 packs (my old computer took TWO DAYS), and takes a second to open it and get me to the house.

I so far have Sims, Sims 2 (and all packs), Sims 4 (and 50 packs), and House Flipper and it has no issues. Please please PLEASE get this laptop! It’s so worth the price!!!
