ASUS [Smartchoice] ROG Strix G16, 16"(40.64cm) FHD+ 165Hz, 13th Gen Core i7-13650HX,Gaming Laptop(16GB RAM/1TB SSD/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 /Windows 11/Office 21/Eclipse Gray/2.50 Kg), G614JV-N3474WS

Writing the review after 12 months of purchase. The Asus Strix G16 packs all the punch 👊🏻 if you are really into moderate gaming aspect.I'll definitely not recommend this for 2K or 4K gaming especially for modern games.The LCD screen was Ok with no or minor burns in deep black.The front camera is not so great ( just OK).The dual speakers sounds great but with a moderate base.The battery life is better in this laptop as compared to the other in this price range, but conditionally you need to enable Nvidia Optimus & enable Optimize mode in the Armoury crate software when doing normal tasks (not gaming).The laptop comes with a tri-cooling fan solution, which surprisingly helps heat dissipation, giving temp. around 68-78 ⁰C when playing UHD games or 2K.Laptop comes with a 280W charger.Note : I recommend to enable Battery 🔋 Care Mode from Asus software, keeping low brightness level if not on gaming, to essentially save the battery life.Coming to the price.. & just my personal opinion... Now this is a two year old laptop & without a doubt I'll say the best price if your a fan of "ROG moniker" laptop that has a great design, liquid metal and power to really play future games for at least 4-5 years considering if you are a moderate gamer. There are gaming options available from other brands with same specs or newer, those can be suggested as well because of price. So, I will suggest to judiciously make a purchase as per your requirement !!

The media could not be loaded. Amazon and Asus both are worst, Amazon is worst place to buy, today I received my ASUS ROG G-16 4060 i7 13th Gen 1TB SSD for worth ₹1,34,9900 and my laptop was not even opening I just tried each and everything to turn it on but it won't, even it was not showing any light of charging while plugged it on and not even opening after holding power button for 40,60 seconds. Then Amazon is also not accepting replacement just after 30mins of receiving product and their costumer service is worst the technician talked to me and I told everything about my laptop then they were saying to talk to Asus support team and they are not even responding my call on their customer support number. I even recorded the unboxing video of it and when I open the box and saw that charging cable was already plugged with it's adapter. If they tried this only then I am going to customer court for sure.

This laptop is really good, build quality, performance, display is all top notch at this budget, and the fan is very silent.

The media could not be loaded. Have face no problem with the product and is performing as expected for well over a month with no decline in functionality. Please note the battery life may not be as good as expected especially when you are running demanding applications. Make sure to maintain adequate ventilation to prevent product detoriation. Build quality feels solid and metal like though it is not made of metal. There is no privacy guard for webcam. There is no numbpad on the keyboard. Charging is quite slow even at 280 watts. The charger came with a AEH plug which is not essential but you can switch it for any other cable don't be alarmed.

The device is really good, but I had to return it, I bought it twice and both times had horrible backlight bleed in the i7 variant of the laptop. Went to the exclusive ROG store and saw that even in those devices there is a backlight bleed. Not to this extent, but still there. If it concerns you, better to avoid it.

Best product worth it.

This laptop is absolutely perfect for CS/CSE students. Because, the processor and graphics card. And the laptop is in top position in upcoming 20years for comparison with any other laptop. No other laptop can beat this in that price range and performance. Better for both the EDUCATION like heavy rendering, programming and GAMING like GTA5 and any other steam games.

Disappointed 👎👎. Half of the screen has horizontal lines from the moment I received and started the laptop. After putting so much money in a laptop and still receiving defective product, its not acceptable. And amazon is saying contact the company we'll not replace this. Stuck in a gruesome time consuming and stressful process.
