What Buyers Say
ASUS ROG Strix G16 16" G614JI-AS94 Eclipse Gray 2023
This ASUS gaming laptop earns high marks for its powerful I9-13980HX and RTX 4070 combo, offering excellent value and performance for demanding games and tasks. Users praise the upgradability to 64GB RAM and extra SSD, along with surprisingly good Wi-Fi speeds. However, battery life is very short (45 minutes gaming, 2-3 hours general use), the touchpad can be unresponsive after gaming, and the lack of a number pad on this model feels misleading. The loud startup sound and annoying RGB lights are also common gripes, though both can be mitigated with software tweaks.
