Asus ROG Strix G16 2023 G614JU

A line of stylish, powerful and reliable gaming laptops with an unusual approach to lighting design. In addition to the individual backlighting of the keys, RGB LEDs are built into the base of the laptop, so that during operation it seems to glow from the inside. The backlight can be customized to your preference and synchronized with other RGB components using the Aura Sync software.

In terms of performance, features, and attention to detail, these laptops outperform most of the competition in the sub-$2,000 segment and should in fact be at the top end. However, compared to other damned 2023 ROG Strix laptops, this is more of a confident middle class. The 13th Gen Core i5 processor with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and fast NVMe SSD is ready for any challenge of today's graphics engines and is ready to provide a stable 50-60 FPS in most gaming blockbusters of recent years.

However, it is important to understand that the GeForce RTX 4050 video card installed in this series is more of an entry level, so the potential owner of such a laptop will often have to lower the graphics settings to avoid severe frame drops. To display the image, all Asus ROG Strix G16 laptops are equipped with high-quality 16-inch IPS displays with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 240 Hz.

In addition, the display has high-quality color reproduction (100% DCI P3 coverage), supports HDR10 / DolbyVision, and the built-in NVIDIA G-Sync synchronizer eliminates glitches and frame tearing, which often occur in especially fast and dynamic action scenes. The set of connections includes HDMI and 4 USB ports, one of which is USB4. A gigabit LAN controller with support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 is responsible for processing network traffic. The presence of fast charging makes it possible to replenish up to 50% of the battery charge in 30 minutes. A comfortable touchpad and backlit keyboard make it easy to control your laptop.
