ASUS ROG Strix G16 2025 Review

ASUS ROG Strix G16 2025 (G614JI) is a 16-inch gaming laptop with a Core i9-14900HX, GeForce RTX 4070 (140 W), 16GB DDR5-5600, 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and a 2560x1600 240Hz IPS display.

A mainstream gaming laptop with a high-end CPU. The Core i9-14900HX has 24 cores and the RTX 4070 can draw up to 140 W with a MUX switch. The 16-inch 2560x1600 panel runs at 240 Hz with 100% DCI-P3 colour. Upgrade room is good: 1 of 2 RAM slots is free (32 GB maximum) and 1 of 2 M.2 slots is free. It weighs 2.5 kg and uses a 280 W adapter with a 90Wh battery. The main limitation is the lack of Thunderbolt, which matters if you rely on fast docks or external drives.

Overview

The Strix G16 brings ROG's 240Hz panel and Raptor Lake Refresh HX silicon to a more accessible price than the Zephyrus line, with a free SO-DIMM and M.2 slot.

Our verdict

Expert rating8.3 / 10

The ROG Strix G16 pairs a Core i9-14900HX with RTX 40 series graphics, 16GB of DDR5 and a 16 inch 2560 by 1600 IPS screen at 240Hz. It has a free memory slot, a free second SSD slot and a 90Wh battery, so it is well set up for high-refresh gaming.

It weighs 2.5 kg and has no Thunderbolt, which matters if you rely on docks or fast external drives. Plan on using it mostly at a desk.

Best for
