This laptop delivers excellent performance and has an appealing design. The touchpad illumination works correctly when activated via NumLock, though this feature may vary by model based on other reviews. Performance is exceptionally fast, making it ideal for demanding applications. Major Concerns: The AC adapter presents significant portability issues. It measures approximately one-quarter the size of the laptop itself and adds considerable weight to the overall package. However, my primary concern involves connectivity limitations. Connectivity Issues: Despite specifications indicating Thunderbolt 4/5 and DisplayPort capabilities on both USB-C ports, direct connection to USB portable monitors fails. Multiple attempts to resolve this through ASUS Support resulted in case escalation but no follow-up communication to date. Workaround Required: Currently, connecting two portable monitors requires additional adapters and HDMI cables, significantly increasing the total system weight and connection complexity. This defeats the purpose of a portable gaming setup. Battery Performance: Battery life is limited, which is expected and acceptable for a gaming laptop in this category. Conclusion: While the laptop's performance and design are impressive, the connectivity limitations and oversized power adapter may necessitate a return. The inability to utilize advertised Thunderbolt/DisplayPort functionality directly impacts the intended use case for portable multi-monitor gaming setups. Read more

on the one hand, as stated, everything works great, but (as asus assures - asus rog strix g16 2025 rtx 5070ti that this model has HDR - this is a lie, it is not in the settings, I looked everywhere, it is not there), also disappointed with the package: a standard charger and a laptop, no stickers, no mouse, no charger for tupe-c either - for $ 2400 you can put it and not be greedy. Overall rating 4 out of 5 Read more

Blazing fast, powerful CPU and graphics card, plenty of RAM and disk space, and so much more! I absolutely love my new laptop! It is fast, easy to setup and get fully updated, and runs games better than my desktop does! I purchased the laptop during Amazon's Prime day as a little bit of a splurge. My previous laptop was nearly 10 years old and was really showing it's age, so it was time for a replacement. I will mention a few items that I'm less than pleased with. First is the number pad that overlays on the mouse pad. This is just a bad idea all around. Sometimes I press the Num Lock button on accident and when that happens the mouse pad stops working as a mouse. Plus, when I have a Bluetooth keyboard attached and activate the Num Lock, it actives the one on the mouse pad as well. Second, unlike other laptops of this price range, it only came with Windows 11 Home edition instead of Pro edition. So I had to pay to upgrade it as I prefer the Pro version as I have more control over the configuration of Windows itself. Last, I wish the display was a touchscreen display. But alas, it was not included with this version. But, all-in-all, I am pleased with the performance, quality, and appearance of this laptop. My hope is that this laptop will provide me with years of use and enjoyment! So far, it's off to a great start! Read more

We ordered this ASUS ROG G16 Laptop to be used mainly by our two young adult kids who are in college. Both have very good computers but so often an additional one comes in handy. Our daughter is studying 3D and 2D animation at our local university and she can always use a second PC. This ASUS laptop is amazing! It is heavy, which is expected given all its capabilities. The screen has vibrant colors, sharpness, and beautifully bright. When gaming or watching a movie the screen stays sharp even in action scenes! The majority of the time we keep the computer plugged in since, as others have mentioned, this PC is a power hog and drains the battery quicker than I am used to seeing in a new computer. Its not a big deal, but something to be aware of when you are untethered from an outlet. My only complaint with the computer is concerning the graphics card. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card is a good choice for a middle of the road, thousand dollar gaming laptop. But it does not belong in $2,400 gaming laptop! It does a decent job when you are playing games like Fortnite and Monster Hunter World but when you get into the demanding games like Ark or Cyberpunk 2077 the computer will begin to show its limitations. Even Star Wars Jedi Survivor can cause it some small graphics issues if anything else is running simultaneously. Our daughter wanted to use this computer for doing rendering of some of her 3D animation files for school. Rendering is a process that can take hours to complete. Unfortunately, this system is unable to handle anything to heavy when it comes to 3D rendering. If ASUS had equipped the RTX5070 with more substantial memory then it would handle rendering far more smoothly. I have removed one star from my review for the reasons I have just mentioned. Otherwise this is an awesome laptop and for the most part a very good video gaming system! Read more

When I got the laptop it looked great. I ran a few games on it and ran great. But when I used any of the USB's on the right one would not recognize anything I put in it. And the other just didn't have any power to it at all. The only USB that worked was on the left side. I never tried the USB type C's. I returned it for a refund. I don't know if it was just a fluke or not but im not going to pay $2300 and only one USB works. Read more

Great laptop, but loaded with McAfee, the world's worst antivirus malware. I unchecked "install McAfee" during installation and it still installed it. That upset me. Great laptop otherwise. Read more

This is a really good future proof laptop had another 1070 strix back in the day. Then move to another brand that went pretty badly. Back to strix and temperatures are great depending on the mode you use you can get this laptop setup with really good performance and good temperatures (~70 Celsius on high load performance mode) and less noise than what I’m used to on gaming laptops.
