ROG Strix 16 G614PH Gaming Laptop | 16.0" WUXGA 165Hz Screen | AMD Ryzen 9-8940HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | 4-Zone Backlit Keyboard | 3 Month Xbox Game Pass | Windows 11

Absolutely amazing laptop definitely worth the money. Very fast and keeps cool. The WiFi is very fast and I can get 1500+ mbps via wifi

I'm leaving a 4 star review, only because Amazon used misleading marketing and imagery from the Intel version. The laptop itself is great, I watched plenty of reviews and benchmarks, read Asus' official product specs, and realised the AMD 8940HX variant uses the 2024 chassis, which has a WUXA display (1920x1200 @165Hz), and has the front light bar, only the intel variants have the full 360 light bar. Onto the product...fast, keeps very cool under load, I played Dead Space, and Calisto Protocol at Ultra settings (RT on) at native 4k (external screen), and easily got over 60fps (DLSS off). The internal screen is 1080p but has uniform brightness, and is ideal for a 5070ti which handles everything I threw at it easily. 300 - 400fps in Fortnite. I was worried that the 8940HX would struggle compared to a Core Ultra 9, but it's handling everything I play without any issue, while still keeping the laptop cool to the touch, and fans almost silent (AMD chassis has rear + side ventilation). Port selection is great, 2 USB A 3.2 Gen 1, and 2 USB4 (40gbps) one with display, one without. Intel variants have Thunderbolt 5, and the easy maintainance hatch, so if you need full port futerproofing intel may be a better option. I picked this AMD version up at £1800, which fit my budget, and with RAM prices set to skyrocket in 2026 I'd advise grabbing a 32GB+ and going for a 5070ti or higher (5070 has 8GB, 5070ti verion has 12GB). Ive only had it a week but very happy so far.

When it worked it was brilliant, however after having it only for a month it had frozen 3 times and blue screened 4. 2 of those times all I was doing was writing. The LED where also very fussy. Sometimes they refused to listen to the Armory Crate instructions. Returned it for refund, Amazon support were amazing. Two stars because when it was functioning, it was very good.

The laptop is exceptional and super fast. My one star is only because in the picture it shows the one that has the numpad on the touchpad, but Amazon sent me the one without it. After checking that the hardware specifications matched the listed item (and they did), I decided to cancel my return. I also have to say, getting a return ticket took me around 1 hour, speaking with 5 people in customer service who just bounced me from one to another because they couldn’t sort it out since it was an expensive item. Sound quality is ok-ish—nothing exceptional—but connectivity is pretty good. Overall, it’s a great laptop and I would rate it 5 stars, but Amazon’s service in this particular case is a 1. It arrived fast though, can’t complain about that. This was my only bad experience dealing with customer service; all the others were great and I had no complaints.

The laptop itself works and feels really good, but description and pics are completely wrong. My model supposed to have 240hz display and numpad on touchpad, it has none of those, plus it came with mcafee malware

Constant crashes: It would be a decent enough laptop if it wasn't for the twenty or so crashes in games and windows I've had with it since getting it a few weeks ago. Very disappointed.

Mains power cuts during heavy usage, like when gaming. This forces the laptop to use the battery which causes a huge drop in performance. This is likely the Power Supply that is at fault and not the laptop, but it is unacceptable from the company like Asus. Also the pictures on the website are wrong, they are not the laptop you receive in the box, and it only has 165Hz screen not 240Hz

SENT THIS BACK AMAZON KEEPS SAYING THEY WILL REFUND ME IN 5 DAYS AND THEY NEVER REFUND, BE AWARE CUSTOMER SUPPORT LIE OVER AND OVER

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!

La neta no tiene mamá esta laptop, estuvo a todo dar comprar la 5070 ti, queda sobrada en los juegos y no le cuestan nada Aparte la estética está de lujo, realmente se ve premium No te arrepentirás compadre, cada que la veas te darán más ganar de ir a trabajar xD

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.

Out of the box, this computer works great. I can play games like Fortnite and The Finals at 4k at 200+ FPS. The cooling system works well by itself too, the card is usually around 65-70 Celsius at the end of an hour or so gaming session. The laptop cannot show CPU Temps, there is a preinstalled app that lets you "see" it. But that is a pure guess. The only component that gives thermal readings is the GPU. The screen is bright and beautiful, the screen is also a WLED screen which isn't mention. So it's not OLED but it's still really good. It's a big size, although if you want a gaming laptop that is expected. The main issue I have with this computer is the bloatware that is preinstalled. It comes with McAfee anti-virus, which is quite possibly, if not THE, worst anti-virus software on the market. It also comes pre-installed with its own ASUS monitor program, which only has features that can be easily accessed in the settings menu. Said ASUS Program also takes up a ton of memory space by letting itself run by default on the computer. Overall, if you can get it on sale for less than two thousand. It's a good purchase. Otherwise I would hold off.

I mainly use it for gaming, video editing, and some heavy multitasking, and in terms of raw performance it absolutely delivers. Games run buttery smooth and rendering times are noticeably faster than my previous setup (which was also a high end gaming laptop from about 2019). The display, cooling system, and overall build quality here really stand out and make it feel like a true premium machine. That said, the built-in Bluetooth is honestly terrible. My Xbox controller and headphones would have interference issues and sometimes even disconnect even when I was sitting less than three feet away. I ended up disabling the internal Bluetooth entirely and used an external USB Bluetooth adapter, which immediately fixed the issue. Despite that frustration, I’d still recommend this laptop for the performance alone. Just be prepared to work around the Bluetooth problem.
