ROG Strix G16 (2025) Gaming Laptop, 16” ROG Nebula 16:10 2.5K 240Hz/3ms, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080, Intel® Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, Wi-Fi 7, Windows 11 Home, G615LW-AS96

Blazing fast, powerful CPU and graphics card, plenty of RAM and disk space, and so much more! I absolutely love my new laptop! It is fast, easy to setup and get fully updated, and runs games better than my desktop does! I purchased the laptop during Amazon's Prime day as a little bit of a splurge. My previous laptop was nearly 10 years old and was really showing it's age, so it was time for a replacement. I will mention a few items that I'm less than pleased with. First is the number pad that overlays on the mouse pad. This is just a bad idea all around. Sometimes I press the Num Lock button on accident and when that happens the mouse pad stops working as a mouse. Plus, when I have a Bluetooth keyboard attached and activate the Num Lock, it actives the one on the mouse pad as well. Second, unlike other laptops of this price range, it only came with Windows 11 Home edition instead of Pro edition. So I had to pay to upgrade it as I prefer the Pro version as I have more control over the configuration of Windows itself. Last, I wish the display was a touchscreen display. But alas, it was not included with this version. But, all-in-all, I am pleased with the performance, quality, and appearance of this laptop. My hope is that this laptop will provide me with years of use and enjoyment! So far, it's off to a great start!

Been using this for a little over a week now, the RTX 5060 performs superb! The screen is beautiful! Especially for being a laptop screen compared to an OLED display or monitor, it looks GREAT, the colors and overall image are very sharp looking All of my games( AAA titles or otherwise) run at high or ultra settings with high frame rates and no stutter! Going to be upgrading ram and storage down the line Runs GTA V Enhanced on High RT over 100fps in most scenarios I’ve also run Warframe with the “high preset” and runs over 120fps it looks beautiful and performs beautiful! I’m very picky when it comes to frame rate/graphics(coming from an avid desktop user…I have high expectations) and this laptop performs as good or better than it looks! I’m impressed The speakers aren’t super impressive, and aren’t super loud or anything I wish they were a little better, but they’re not terrible by any means, just not super LOUD, most gamers would probably be using a headset anyway for voice chat/streaming/gameplay anyway…don’t let this steer you away, this is a great laptop despite not having “the best sound system in the world” I Don’t notice any excessive fan noise or overheating issues of any kind I’m using it everyday for gaming and I can’t leave it alone! When I have lan parties at friends houses, my trusty machine comes with me! I’m always excited to open the lid, plug it in and start gaming! The RGB lighting is gorgeous! It’s also fun to show off to friends and family ;) I’ve owned many gaming laptops over the last 12 years or so, this is my second machine with an 5060 in it, and this one has been my favorite! Better than any of the rest!

Could be a bit cheaper but for the price and what it can do this is a fabulous piece of tech. It does get hot a bit quick even with its cooling system, I purchased a nice laptop cooler that helps it stay within safe operating temperatures. I love that you actually able to upgrade the ram on this things, although it would be nice to be able to upgrade all hardware when the time comes. The screen is beautiful I was initially a little disappointed I didn’t get the 4k version due to the price difference but the quality of the screen is incredible, very bright and colorful. Fan stays quiet can’t ever hear it over my headphones. Battery lasts about as long as you would expect, but whenever I do take it over the charger it lasts a solid 2-3 hours before needing to be plugged in and that’s with high intensity gaming. So could potentially be used to school and other activities.

This is a pretty great laptop. I've had it for a few months now- though I would recommend running a few benchmarks when you get it. I've found a few problems that- had I properly tested things, I likely would have requested a replacement. Namely: For some reason, randomly, the keyboard just... stops accepting key presses. The "M" keys at the top of the keyboard still work, and connected keyboard/peripherals work properly, but for a fairly strange amount of time the keyboard just kinda stops, as if the system 'disconnects' from the keyboard. After a period of time (anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes), it works properly again. This can be problematic during intense gaming sessions. More recently- after a LOT of troubleshooting. I had to completely remove the keyboard drivers and install (while using a separate connected keyboard). It also gets pretty hot, Granted it's a gaming board, so it's expected- it doesn't hit the same temps as my previous MSI setup, nor my girl's Acer. Though it's a bit higher than comfortable. The keys are also in a bit of a strange configuration, so if you play anything that utilizes the 'Alt' key- here's a tip, using 'Fn' + 'Windows key' disables the Windows button until you use the shortcut again. Now that I'm done with the few things that have caused discomfort- I can throw ANY game at this and play it at high or Ultra settings (including Borderlands 4, this is before there has been any optimization done with that pile- so where everyone else is frustrated over the fact that they're stuttering all over the place after an hour, I'm still good- hopefully that whole thing is fixed by the time you pick this up, but if not- you'll be good) I upgraded my SSD and added a second, so I'm swimming in storage space, so I swap between games often. The reason I bring this up, is the way they've setup the keyboard lighting, it's killer. I've never liked RGB, but this changed that. I've got a different lighting setup between each game and I have full control over which lights are on/off and which colors are being used in which locations. The weight is a little over what my last rig was, but it's a much higher spec system, so that's a trade-off. Oh, and I would sincerely suggest, if you use a PC connected VR headset, you'll likely need some adapters, this has a great graphics card for VR gaming, but it likely won't have the connectors you need out the box. I feel like this review sounds more negative than I intended, but honestly, I'm STILL stoked that I have this rig, And in the future, when I upgrade to whatever the future holds, I'll be keeping this around as long as it's anywhere remotely as good as it is today.

It’s very good gaming laptop

Good quality as expected, just the power cable plug abit loose and sometimes not detecting for charging.

Excellent for gaming. Performance is as good as you can expect from a high end laptop.

Llevo un par de meses con ella y estoy muy feliz con el rendimiento que está dando en tareas exigentes como juegos en calidad maxima (le aventé Silent Hill F, RE 2 y 3, RDR 2 y Expedition 33, y ninguno pudo con ella jaja), Unreal Engine, Blender, streaming, renderizado de escenas y edición de video. Los probé en balanceado y turbo y me dio casi el mismo resultado (todo en 80-200 fps) y tiempos de renderizado mucho mejores de lo esperado). Solo el CPU se calienta un poco (a veces sube a 85-90), pero el GPU se mantiene a buena temperatura (55-70). Aún así me parece que son buenos números considerando que está funcionando a máxima potencia con varios programas en segundo plano y por horas seguidas. En cuanto a las demás características: La resolución de la pantalla es muy buena y se aprecia que tenga varios modos de display. El RGB es precioso y muy customizable. Me gusta que el aire salga por atrás y no por los costados como otros equipos con los que te quemas a cada rato sin querer. El fácil acceso a los componentes permite que no sea tedioso hacerle limpiezas seguido. La batería carga bastante rápido y dura un par de horas trabajando en modo silencioso, eso sí es necesario que bajen los fps, pero tampoco llega a molestar (50-60 dependiendo del juego). Las bocinas no son una pasada tampoco, pero aún así suenan muy bien y no se saturan a máximo volumen. Y el teclado se siente genial, muy suave y fluido. He escuchado quejas sobre el teclado numérico pero para mí resultó muy cómodo. No me parece que sea fácil de activar por accidente como he visto en varias reseñas. Los únicos problemas que he tenido es que a veces se desactiva el teclado (quizás sea alguna función que he presionado sin querer) y llevo 2 semanas sin poder actualizar el Armory Crate. Pero fuera de eso no he tenido problemas de throttling, incompatibilidad o fallos críticos inexplicables.

excelente equipo, pero me gustaria saber como puedo solicitar mi factura
