ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) Gaming Laptop, ROG Nebula 16" 16:10 QHD 240Hz Display, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070, Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX, 16GB DDR5-5600, 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD , Wi-Fi 6E, Al-Nasr 11, G614JIR-AS94
Exactly what I wanted so far. I wanted something powerful, reliable, and fast to replace my old Dell G15. Many people have problems right away or have problems with dead pixels right from the start. I don't have any of these problems.
I've been using it for about a week and so far so good no issues. The screen looks great, the sound is great, and the performance is excellent. One thing is that the CPU temperature is high because the i9 runs very hot, but you don't feel anything because even if I heat it up to 80 degrees Celsius while gaming, I won't even feel it. The port selection is also great, and I had everything I needed. I don't use it with batteries, so I can't comment on that, but I've heard it's not the best unless you set it up specifically for that. This thing should be able to basically handle any game you throw at it. You may just want to upgrade the RAM to match the rest of the specs. I don't know if I'll have any problems in the near future, but so far the laptop has been pretty perfect.
New buyers should know:
1: Simply select the GPU manually in the NVIDIA Control Panel instead of the integrated graphics card which is enabled by default for some reason (this doesn't happen on other laptops).
2: Uninstall Weapon Box and install G-Helper. Not only does this free up resources and extend battery life, but the G-Helper is also a lighter, more user-friendly version of a gun holster with the same function (gun holsters suck).
3: You buy a 13th gen i9 that runs extremely hot, UNDERVOLT! Download Throttlestop (this and g-helper are very safe and verified, don't worry). Throttlestop and g helper are set to not start at startup. So, if you make any mistakes, just restart. Check out what others have done with the i9-13980HX and see what works for you. My low voltage performance was amazing, ranging from 80 fps when playing high fps games to only 60-65 fps, mostly ranging from 61-63 and only reaching very low performance (350-550 fps 300 -400). Not only does this help extend the life of your CPU, but the fan is not too loud. So far I've seen that the max temperature of my GPU is very low or not turned off, at 60°C.
