If this laptop PC does not completely meet your needs, we invite you to consult our guides Gaming laptop And Student laptopyou will find other similar laptops that can be good alternatives to the Asus ROG Strix G16 G615JMR-RV171W.

Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ROG Strix G16 G615JMR-RV171W

This versatile laptop has a gamer appearance, targeting gamers and creators with its angular dark silver Eclipse Gray design cooled by a vapor chamber type system combining fans with Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal thermal paste and air vents.

Asus offers easy access to RAM and SSD, the latter adopting the tool-free Q-Latch system.

The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC is good, made up of latest generation Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 be wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, an HDMI video output thanks to which it can be connected to a TV or a monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports but also 3 USB 3.2 and 2 USB-C including 1 very fast Thunderbolt 4, practical for easily connecting peripherals, such as a mouse, a game controller, a headset, external storage or printer.

As the webcam adopts Infrared technology, you can authenticate biometrically through facial recognition, in particular via Windows Hello.

A backlighting system equips the chiclet keyboard, practical to activate whenever you want to better discern the keys, typically in the dark.
However, we notice the absence of a numeric keypad on the right although this device is standard from 15 inches to facilitate the entry of numbers.
Asus could offer its NumPad technology here, the presence of which is to be confirmed. If so, simply activate NumberPad so that a touchscreen number pad appears instead of the touchpad.

To appeal to gamers, the screen adopts a refresh rate of 165Hz giving much better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life than the standard 60Hz, especially as it is associated with low latency providing great responsiveness.
If IPS technology provides significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles combined with sRGB colorimetry that is more faithful than average, some will regret not having to deal with a DCI-P3 High Fidelity panel.
In any case, High Definition fans will be in for their money since they have to make do with a Full HD panel – which, however, does not only have drawbacks. Higher than the classic 16/9, its 16/10 format allows it to display more information vertically.
As it has an anti-reflective treatment, the screen also ensures better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).

Performance, battery life of the Asus ROG Strix G16 G615JMR-RV171W

The Asus ROG Strix G16 G615JMR-RV171W is aimed at those looking for a comfortable, versatile and high-performance laptop for gaming and creating with the latest generation graphics card.

In fact, it features the GeForce RTX 5060 ray tracing, a recent high-end dedicated graphics card. Blackwell recent through which players can play recent games.
And all the more so since the GeForce RTX 5060 is not restricted here (which is not the case in all configurations), quite the contrary since its maximum frequency here is above average.
Playing in Full HD is all the more comfortable as the number of fps delivered is higher than in High Definition (eg: 2.5K) since Full HD requires fewer graphics calculations.

Gamers will therefore appreciate the GeForce RTX 5060. And creators too since it provides graphics acceleration of multimedia processing under software using GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.

However, operation on the Iris Xe graphics solution housed in the processor is preferred as long as possible using NVIDIA Optimus technology. Even though the performance of the Iris Xe is significantly lower than that of the GeForce RTX 5060. The objective? Promote autonomy since the Iris Xe consumes little energy. Expect around 6 hours of battery operation in light use.

Depending on the tasks carried out, Optimus actually determines the necessary graphics resources in real time. If necessary, it activates the more demanding and, above all, powerful GeForce RTX 5060, typically for gaming. Then deactivates it when the performance of the Iris Xe proves sufficient.

It is the Core i7-14650HX which accommodates the Iris Xe in addition to 16 hybrid cores, certainly an old generation processor. Raptor Lake Refresh but still in the race, supported here by 16 GB of RAM.

This laptop thus delivers solid general performance.
The Core i7-14650HX will be of particular interest to creatives since it performs processing faster than a Quad/Hexa/Octo Core in areas requiring CPU resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

You can even benefit from even faster processing by adding a RAM strip to the free DDR5 slot.
This appreciable scalable aspect also affects storage since an M.2 slot is available to accommodate a second SSD if necessary.

Basic Asus still offers a 1000 GB SSD here, a very comfortable capacity for installing and storing quantities of games, software and files – including, why not, personal creations.

The quiet, energy-efficient and very fast SSD, like the aforementioned components, contributes to this versatile laptop being very responsive and fluid.
Thus, accessing online game cards is done quickly, just like launching games/applications, carrying out processing or even starting/stopping.

Finally, when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments), expect this multimedia gaming laptop PC to heat up and make itself heard.
A ventilated support can be used in addition to contain its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
