Amazon Prime Day 2024 sale saw the ASUS ROG Strix G16’s price reduced to $1,099.99, making it one of the best ‘price to performance’ gaming laptops with an RTX 4060. The machine continues to remain discounted, but at a slightly higher $1,164.99, which is more expensive but it is still $235 less than its original price, making it an attractive deal for those that want to experience AAA gaming sessions on something relatively portable.
ASUS is typically known for pricing its gaming laptops higher than the competition, but there is a reason for that, particularly with the ROG Strix G16 series, as the company’s engineers have revamped the cooling solution to include not two but three cooling fans in the same 16-inch footprint. Normally, when an elaborate cooling solution like this is used, the gaming laptop would be made with compromises such as having RAM soldered to the motherboard or fewer SODIMM slots to accommodate the redesigned heatsink.
On this occasion, the ROG Strix G16 has no such drawbacks, as it is equipped with two M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD and two SODIMM slots to deliver the optimal upgrade path for gamers. The display is a 16-inch, 1920 x 1200 IPS LCD with a 165Hz refresh. If you have noticed, the resolution is in the 16:10 aspect ratio, meaning more vertical real estate for those who need it.
The RTX 4060 features 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and while that will be insufficient in some titles when maxing out the graphics settings, you can simply lower the texture quality to free up some of that framebuffer. The GPU is paired with an Intel Core i7-13650HX CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD. For wireless connectivity, you get a Wi-Fi 6E adapter, Bluetooth 5.2, and more.
If you want a slightly more powerful variant of the ROG Strix G16, ASUS has an RTX 4070 version available on Amazon for $1,699.99 after a $200 discount, so you could look into that deal if you do not mind paying a premium to get higher performance.
