Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ROG Strix G16 G614PP-RV021W

Cooled by ROG Intelligent Cooling technology using 3 Arc Flow fans (84 blades), heat pipes, Concuctonaut Extreme liquid metal and air vents, this versatile laptop targeting gamers and creators has a clearly gamer appearance with its dark angular Eclipse Gray design.

The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC is good, made up of Ethernet and audio ports, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, an HDMI video output through which it can easily be connected to a TV or a monitor for example but also 2 USB 3.2 and 2 very fast USB 4 Type-C for connecting peripherals such as a headset, a mouse, a gamepad, a printer or external storage.

Those who regularly enter numbers will notice the lack of a number pad which is detrimental for them.
Asus could have offered its NumberPad technology as compensation (a NumPad touchscreen numeric keypad is displayed in place of the touchpad when activated), but does not seem to have made this choice here, which is regrettable.
Fortunately, a backlighting system accompanies the keyboard. We will activate it in the dark and more generally when we need to better discern the keys.

Players will appreciate the screen’s 165Hz frequency because it provides better fluidity in games and more generally in all tasks than a classic 60Hz panel.
Especially since the sRGB and IPS specifications simultaneously ensure more faithful colors than average associated with significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
Thanks to its anti-reflective coating, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (eg near a window) than a shiny panel.
But High Definition fans will be left wanting more since here they will have to settle for a Full HD panel, whose 16/10th format however displays more information vertically than the standard 16/9th thanks to its higher height.

Performance, autonomy of the Asus ROG Strix G16 G614PP-RV021W

The Asus ROG Strix G16 G614PP-RV021W is aimed at those looking for a powerful all-round laptop for gaming and creating with premium components.

In fact, it is powered by the Ryzen 9 8940HX, a high-end AMD processor. Dragon Range which in addition to the Radeon 610M graphics solution houses no less than 16 high-performance cores!
Suffice to say that associated with the large quantity of 32 GB of RAM, the Ryzen 9 8940HX provides great overall power which will delight the most demanding users since it is incomparable to that delivered by the vast majority of models on the market.

The potential of these components is revealed in multimedia processing that is intensive in CPU and RAM resources and takes advantage of multi-cores, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing. Under this type of work, processing here is carried out much more quickly than with a Quad/Hexa/Octo Core 16/24 GB DDR4/5.

Creative people will appreciate it, especially if they use software that uses GPU computing power. Because then their processing benefits from the graphics acceleration provided by the dedicated on-board graphics card, which is particularly the case under Vegas, the Adobe suite or VSDC.

And it is the GeForce RTX 5070 ray tracing which is more precisely integrated into this versatile laptop, high-end NVIDIA graphics card Blackwell latest generation designed to appeal to demanding gamers who can play their favorite games, including the most recent ones that require 3D resources.
And all the better as they benefit from a higher number of fps in Full HD than in High Definition (eg: 2.5K) because Full HD requires fewer graphics calculations.

Concretely, NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically switches in real time between the GeForce RTX 5070 and the Radeon 610M, both of course allowing you to view photos and videos.
Despite its much lower performance, the laptop PC operates at maximum on the Radeon 610M because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.

Expect around 6 hours of battery operation in light use, which is not bad at all for such a powerful machine. Although it is much easier to transport than a desktop model, it is not the most portable due to its thickness and weight. However, you can take it with you from time to time and regularly lug it from one room to another in the house to be used for several hours without the need for a nearby power outlet.

Coming back to Optimus, it actually activates the GeForce RTX 5070 to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon 610M, typically for gaming.

Players and creators alike will appreciate being able to install and store many games, software and various files on the very comfortable 1000 GB storage space provided by the silent, energy-efficient and very fast SSD.

On a daily basis, this versatile laptop is very fluid and responsive, ensuring that you get onto the online gaming charts quickly, such as starting/stopping, processing and launching games/applications.

As an M.2 slot is free, a second SSD can be inserted into the chassis if necessary, an appreciable scalable aspect.

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