Ratings by Category
Engineering & Design:4.7
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is excellent for engineering and design use because it features a powerful Intel i9 processor and a high-performing Nvidia RTX GPU, enabling advanced computing and graphics handling.

General Use:4.6
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) excels in general use due to its high-performance CPU and ample RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and quick application response.

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."
