Why we like it

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is an excellent gaming laptop that strikes a great balance between price and power, coming in at $1,399.99 (down from its $1,499.99 list price). While that $100 drop isn’t the largest cut out there, it’s solid value when considering what you get in return. 

For starters, ASUS ROG is a premium gaming brand that has a reputation for reliable build quality and gamer-focused features. Under the hood, it packs an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor and a beastly NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, backed up by 16GB of fast DDR5 memory and a spacious 1TB Gen 4 SSD. 

Together, that’s a spec sheet that can comfortably handle modern games at high settings — whether you’re into competitive esports games like Fortnite and Valorant, or AAA hits like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong — all at blisteringly high frame rates. If you’re also a professional creative, this gaming laptop also works brilliantly for other technologically intensive tasks like video editing, too. 

What’s more, the 16-inch FHD+ display offers a smooth 165Hz refresh rate with a 3ms response time, making it even more ideal for fast-paced shooters. With intelligent cooling, Wi-Fi 7, and customisable RGB touches, this is a laptop designed to keep up with both serious gamers and creators without breaking the bank. With an extra $100 off, you can stack up your backlog with Steam’s Autumn Sale, which runs through Oct. 6.
