0:49 THAT SPACE BAR LOOKS SOO DAMN COOL!

The NumberPad and per-key RGB backlight are only available on some models of the Strix G16. In North America region currently only the G614JI-XS96 model has them, the other models have 4-zone RGB backlight and no NumberPad. Also for integrated AMD and Intel mobile chipsets, PCIe tunneling requires the port to be routed through the iGPU, so Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports are always connected to the iGPU. ASUS SOP is to leave Thunderbolt 4/USB4 off of at least one USB-C DP port to use as the designated direct-to-dGPU DP alt mode port on their gaming laptops. Asus also tends to opt for the PD to be on that port, out of consideration for single-connector solution USB-C monitors with PD on their USB-C ports (such as the _awesome_ new ProArt PA278CGV), meant to be used with USB-C PD+DP alt mode tablets, convertibles, MacBooks, Mac Minis, Zenbooks, and handhelds like the RoG Ally.

I've got this one, and so far so good. This is a solid choice for those who are keeping the device for a long time. One cool thing about this device is that it's so quiet. I am not a hardcore gamer but it does not disappoint! I suggest upgrading to 32 gb ram for max performance.

I'd say it depends on which year's model, which configuration you got, and most importantly your intended use case. I assume you'd use it both for gaming and school work (since it's a discreet gaming laptop) and that your school work wouldn't benefit from the 16:10 aspect ratio screen of this year's model. So, if you got last year's model, it might be a better value than this year's model depending on the specs and whether you got a good deal on it. If that's the case, then the RTX 3070 Ti model is the best bang for your buck (and a better value than thE new model with the RTX 4070). This is in addition to it having enough power to run anything you throw at it for the next (I'd say) five years at least at medium to high settings. If it's the 3070 (plain) model then it's not bad and should run most AAA games smoothly for the next three years (maybe at lowered settings for some; or maybe not, since I don't know the future ofc). I expect the 3060 wouldn't be able to run upcoming AAA games unless you're willing to lower the settings way down for some games, especially since it had only 6 GB of VRAM. This is of course assuming you're not planning on doing anything too CPU-intensive and single-threaded, since last year's AMD CPUs didn't have the best single-core performance; and if that's the case, then you would have been better off getting this year's model with a 13th Gen Intel CPU. And then, the RTX 4060 model is preferable to the 4070 model since the latter is a ripoff. Hopefully you bought smart and you're happy with your purchase. And may it serve you well either ways.

@@doge-of-venice G16 was released this year.

My only complains with this laptop is coilwine and the usb-c charging, it's hard to game with it, it keeps using the battery despite having a 100 Watts input. it should be enough energy for playing simple games or when limiting the performance of the device.

The G16 with a 4060 isn't far behind the M16 with a 4070 for Davinci tests. That's wild!

Maybe the biggest dealbreakers for me are the typical Asus QC issues and the lack of biometrics

Why does your face suggest you have bowel issues?

Jarrod please make a video about the ASUS Strix Scar 16 with a 4080, it's a very competitive machine!

Just got the 4070 version of this from B&H photo for $1999 (USD) almost 400$ cheaper than New Egg had it advertised for. Black Friday sale.

Nice, I got this for Christmas, my first gaming laptop

So glad I was able to grab a 2022 Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (i7-12700H/3070/16gb DDR5/1tb Nvme) from Amazon for $1199. I love my 2019 Helios Predator 300 but the sheer amount of heat/noise it produces now a days just wasn't worth it anymore.

hey bro, which laptop should I buy? 1,ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023), 4060, i9 13980HX 240HZ, orS ROG Strix Scar 15 240Hz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Intel Core i9 12900H

with some laptops offering HDR or dolbyvision now, I wish you would talk about how well the display handles HDR gaming, or at least point out witch models are capable of HDR gaming and witch are not. When done well HDR can make a HUGE difference in visual quality while gaming, but when done poorly..... much worse.

Just got the G18 with the same specs. Very good laptop! 👍🏻

I have one question, have you ever heard of the asus vivobook x16 2023. I was planning to pick it up but i want to know your opinion bc i dont see any other review online

More saturated purple colors is looking better than the earlier faded one. 👍

As a DevOps engineer, I require a powerful Intel machine for both work and gaming. I recently tested the G614JV model, equipped with a 13980HX processor, a 4060 RTX GPU, and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, all displayed on a 1920x1200 16:10 screen. After a two-week trial, I can attest that this device is a beast. Running on the latest version of Revyos Windows 11, it flawlessly handles all modern games, including Cyberpunk, on their maximum settings. I'm considering the purchase of a Samsung 990 SSD, which I believe would further enhance the system's loading speeds and overall performance. my price was 1500 usd in thailand

Could you please tell that where did you buy with such a spec as you mentioned with this (1500$) price? Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JV-N3122W is the only model in Thailand with Intel Core i9 13980HX and Nvidia RTX4060 and it comes with 16GB (8GB x2) DDR5 4800MHz (not 32GB) and 165Hz FHD display with Dolby Vision (not the premium Nebula 240Hz QHD display), and the price is 59990฿ (~1740$) for this model anywhere in Thailand officially.

closing p cores from armory creator is have any effect on battery life ?

Hey Jarrod! Amazing review. I have this laptop, and it's wonderful. I was thinking on how I could overclock my GPU just to get the maximum score on TimeSpy. I'm afraid that i might damage the CPU and GPU if I tamper with the settings. Do you have any thoughts with regards to it? Great video!

I was gonna buy an Acer Nitro 5 with i5... but the promotion ended and I'm now considering this Asus with i7 13650HX for €1199 instead of €1949. Not disappointed with this situation and the chance I had to consider this model. t looks sick both for gaming and machine learning. I'll be using it for both tasks.

I need your help. I'm currently finding new laptop to buy and Im considering this laptop. Would you recommend this over the Legion pro 5i? They are similar prices in my country. Thank you!

Found a Asus tuf A16 for 1,099...added a 2tb m.2 for $70...only had a 512 m.2...good power with in my budget...

Excellent review, from what I can see laptops with 4060 gpus don't have much difference from laptops with 4070 gpus, as far as I can tell it's not worth paying $250 more for a laptop with 4070 gpus

Hey jarrod make comparison between 4090 laptop vs 2080 max q to show how far gpus have come in laptops

Hey Jarrod, would you recomend this for around 1200 USD (with FHD+ panel) or the Zephyrus G14 2023 with 4070, 7940HS and QHD+ for 1600 USD (Bestbuy deal)?

So are you saying, I can just add a 2tb Evo 980 ssd in the empty slot and it works fine with the factory 500 GB? Because I thought I was limited to 2TB max between both slots.

I have my eyes on legion slim 5 gen 8 amd. Do you plans reviewing it? If so I would rather wait for your review before buying.

I also bought this during Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale because of this review! got a RTX 4060, Intel Core i7-13650HX, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD

Hello, Jarrod it’s hard to choose a laptop. I’m looking into Lenovo slim 7i 4060 16gbram and 1tb ssd. The price right now on sale is 2135 cad. While this one you reviewing on sale on Best Buy for 1799 include tax would be 2000 cad. It’s hard to decide, it’s a g16 “16 inch. 32 ram and 512 ssd 4050 rtx? Please help me decide as this is my first time buying a gaming laptop. I’ll wait for the reply as the sale will ends soon.

Looking for something decent for video editing that is not too expensive is the i913900h paired with the RTX 4090 laptop enough for editing da vinci or alternatives?

what are some good cheap options for getting a new gaming laptop

Hello! Excellent video!!! I wanted to share something that happens to me, the day before yesterday I acquired this laptop, same processor, 16GB of ram, 1Tb capacity, and an nvidea GTX4050 The issue is that according to the PC, the video card drivers are updated, but when I upload a KZread video at 1080p 60fps, I can see that the image is not sharp, in fact, it has some micro vertical lines, and it looks only when there is movement in the image. The laptop is in standard mode and not connected to its charger. I'm new to gaming laptops and I don't know if I should configure any option first. Greetings!

Thank you for the great review, bought my ROG Strix RTX 4070, Core i7 (13), 1T, 16gb for €1500 today. I could not resist the RGB bar

Hey, looking to buy a new laptop. What would you recommend to be the most powerful laptop that would cost $1500 or less?

How do you clean cooling fans of dust if you can not remove the cooler because there is liquid thermal paste? They intentionally make harder maintenance just to take our money?

compared to hp omen transcend 16, which one should we choose thanks in advance

I saw a brand new one for 500 with the i7 processor, for the graphics card info they just put "dedicated" I asked them to clarify, thinking about buying it

Does it have coil whine ? Thanks jarrod I pressed like on all your videos and I use youtube premium ;)

I got the g16 13650hx rtx4080 model for 2500$ including tax. It was the cheapest 175w rtx 4080 laptop available in my country.

I've picked this up with the 4080 as there was a deal on an it's a hell of a laptop, sadly got the lower end panel though and it's awful for backlight bleed and a bit washed out. Couldn't get a nebula display over here in the UK. I wish you could buy the panel as an upgrade or something as I could replace the top panel rather easily 😅

I don't know if you remember my comment on your other video last week(what to do first after buying a new laptop) This is the laptop I bought last week😅. Legit, for me, this laptop is really nice, though the price is quite high, but I guess that's where we are all going due to inflation or whatever😅. Thanks for the video, it confirms what I felt🫡

Just got one for CA $1250 absolutely a Beast of a Machine and elegant, smaller bezel screen just makes it more pleasing.

I think the NumPad built in the trackpad is only available on the premium Scar model.

Can we get update on the Gaming ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814JV, I am considering buying it but I would like to see one of your very detailed reviews to make sure that is a good laptop before I order it. That will hold me for the next 5 to 6 years. The laptop is with Intel i9-13980HX and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060 8GB GDDR6

Can you test more Gigabyte laptops? Would like to see more of those

Which is better for Gaming as well as for video editing purposes Strix G16 or g15 advantage edition need good suggestion from the experience. Thank you
