The ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop has returned to its attractive low price of $1,164.99 on Amazon after a brief amount of time, marking a $235 discount that we have seen on just one other occasion. Sure, the portable powerhouse might not be as affordable as it was during Prime Day 2024, but it is only just a handful of bucks more expensive and brings incredible value to the table for the hardware it packs.
The 16-inch, 1920 x 1200 IPS LCD screen supports up to a 165Hz refresh rate and boasts a 16:10 aspect ratio, meaning that ASUS is giving you more verticle real estate with the ROG Strix G16, which not only helps in your gaming sessions but also during productivity-related tasks. Its specifications include a Core i7-13650HX CPU, which sports 14 cores, along with an RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD.
The highlight of this gaming laptop is that despite its smaller 16-inch footprint, ASUS and its engineers successfully crammed in a unique cooling solution comprising of not one, not two, but three fans. Typically, we hear about these robust heatsinks in gaming laptops that are significantly larger and thicker in size, but ASUS has thoroughly impressed us on this occasion. What is even more mind-boggling is the fact that this triple-fan cooler was designed without compromising on the RAM and storage upgrade path.
This means that you can install two PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs and two SODIMM RAM sticks without running into problems. Of course, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4000 series of graphics processors support exclusive technologies such as DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation, driving higher performance so you have an enjoyable time for hours. ASUS is typically known for pricing its premium gaming laptops at a higher asking price, but here is proof that the company has bucked that trend.
However, if you want more performance, then you will have to pick up the more powerful variant of the ROG Strix G16, one that features a beefier CPU and an RTX 4070. Thankfully, Amazon has slashed $200 off of this version, bringing its price down to $1,699.99.
