ROG Strix G16 (2025)

ASUS shared the G16 Strix platform between Dragon Range Refresh 8940HX and Fire Range 9955HX, so the platform baseline needs to be low-cost to hit the Zen4 price points and that means corners cut on peripherals, cooling, and power delivery. People that think there's a conspiracy behind ASUS's decisi

So grateful my t14 g1 and asus rog zephyrus g16 have separate power buttons, none of this “built into the keyboard” garbage.

I have the G16 version and also had heat issues. I believe every single ROG model that rolls out has thermal issues. I have still not had a good Asus Liquid Metal application. If you open it up and change to PTM7950, most of the time you will have better thermals.. The real take away is the temperat

I have both the macbook pro 14 and an asus g16 for software dev. The macbook is a better overall iser experience imo. The asus however is still a great laptop. Probably the closest to a macbook for a windows laptop. You might find some deals on a zephryus as the 2025 models are released.

Between the two, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 is definitely the better choice overall. Here’s why: The i7-13650HX is a more powerful CPU than the i7-13620H — it’s part of Intel’s HX line, which is built for high-performance gaming and productivity, with higher core/thread counts and better sustained perfo

Bro keep up with the fan fiction, one day you could write something that is believable. Also, a Asus G16 is not thinner than a MacBook Pro lmao Also also, you are talking about the G16 a $4500 laptop where I assume the MacBook he bought was at worst 2500. I hope your laptop performs or has better sp

I got my 4090 G16 for $2300 last year as an Open Box - Fair. Couldn't find a defect anywhere on it, but saved like $1k. Amazon open box is more of a gamble, but worth it when it pays off and easy to return when it doesn't. I got my Asus Z790 Hero for more than 50% off because there was damage to the

If you are stripping laptops screw then you lack experience… use appropriate screwdriver size and wrap your screwdriver with a plastic film… Scar 16 5090 user here. I personally opened mine and respreaded Liquid Metal. Sad you used ptm7950 that’s not as good as LM , moreover heatsink is nickel plate

If you were building yourself 2k would be doable, but I doubt you’ll find a nice prebuilt for <2k, especially one without a bunch of tacky RGB. Might as well just get a laptop. Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, Gigabyte G6X, etc. And do not listen to the people telling you to buy a computer, charge your compan

Literally why I grabbed an Asus Strix G16 2024 a couple of days ago to replace an older machine, figuring something this was coming. At a minimum I figured I could head off prices being jacked up on existing supply (or new models coming in the next few month). But I figure scarcity would be a factor
