Asus ROG Strix G16 2023 G614JV

The lineup of gaming laptops is a family of high-performance portable devices. They are launched under the flags of the Asus ROG series, occupying an intermediate position between the affordable ROG Strix variations and the insanely powerful and expensive ROG Strix Scar machines. They stand out due to an interesting design with a focus on RGB lighting for the keyboard and body: each key of the keyboard is equipped with a separate LED, and a neat RGB strip is integrated into the base.

Otherwise, the ROG Strix G16 laptops boast high autonomy, support for quick charging, and serious power. The use of a modern 14/24-core Intel Core i7/i9 processor (13th generation, Raptor Lake) in tandem with 16/32/64 GB of DDR5 RAM and a fast NVMe SSD allows these laptops to deliver serious performance both in games and in professional applications for music writing, video rendering, compiling, etc.

Additionally, the manufacturer has left the possibility of independently increasing the amount of RAM and installing a second SSD. Thanks to the discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, representatives of this series are capable of providing a high frame rate in current gaming projects at high or maximum graphic settings. If the graphics card struggles with especially high demands, DLSS 3.0 technology comes to the rescue, artificially rendering missed frames, thereby increasing the average FPS.

For effective user interaction, excellent, though not perfect, 16-inch IPS screens with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, a refresh rate of 165 Hz, a response speed of 7 ms, natural color reproduction (100% sRGB coverage, Pantone-certified), as well as built-in systems for adaptive synchronization Adaptive-Sync and G-Sync are used. Other features of the series include a modern interface set (featuring HDMI 2.1, USB4, and Thunderbolt), support for Wi-Fi 6, quick charging, a LAN port, which many gaming laptop manufacturers skimp on, as well as quite decent stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
