Asus ROG Strix G16 - 2024

Overview

This generation of the Asus ROG Strix G16 is one of the most powerful notebooks available in the mid-tier segments this year. In fact, this is a simplified variation of the Scar 16, with similar barebones, but fewer bells and whistles. And a more competitive price. Potential buyers will, however, have to accept the somewhat questionable aspects of the aesthetics and ergonomics of this series, as well as the fact that the internals run quite hot with demanding loads.

Expert reviews and ratings

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 offers outstanding gaming performance. Its 14th Gen HX CPU and NVIDIA GeForce discrete GPUs deliver high frame rates, and its 240Hz QHD+ display has a fast response time, resulting in minimal ghosting in fast-moving scenes. There's also G-SYNC support to help minimize screen tearing. You also get Wi-Fi 6E wireless connectivity and an Ethernet port to ensure a fast, reliable internet connection when gaming online. RAM and storage are user-upgradeable, so you can upgrade or add more later. Thermal throttling is very minimal, so you won't notice it; however, the laptop gets hot and loud.

El decantarse por un diseño que combina metal con plástico, junto con una RTX 4070 permite que este ASUS ROG STRIX G16 (2024) G614JIR-N4004 no dispare su precio y se quede rondando los 2.399 euros. No obstante, ahí tenemos el Intel Core i9-14900HX, uno de los procesadores más potentes del mundo. Tenemos, por tanto, un cierto desequilibrio entre la CPU y la GPU, quizás una solución con un Core i7-14700HX nos daría una solución más equilibrada y barata.
