If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that gaming laptops are a dangerous game in themselves. Every year, new models drop, promising better specs, faster refresh rates, and GPUs that make last year’s machines look like they belong in a museum. So when a gaming laptop like the ASUS ROG Strix G16 drops to $1,099.99, my wallet starts sweating.

This 2024 Strix G16 model is stacked, featuring an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU that can hit 140W max TGP. It’ll handle anything you throw at it, including AAA games, high-FPS shooters, video editing, or having 37 Chrome tabs open for no reason. Pair that with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, and you’ve got a machine that won’t slow down when things get intense.

The 165Hz Full HD display means buttery smooth gameplay, which is great if you care about winning (or don’t want to feel like you’re playing on a PowerPoint presentation). And because ASUS actually thought about thermals, the ROG Intelligent Cooling system uses Thermal Grizzly liquid metal and an extra intake fan to keep things from getting toasty (unlike my last laptop, which doubled as a space heater).

Here are the secifications that matter:

• Price: $1,099.99 (Was $1,399.99)

• Retailer: Amazon

• Display: 16-inch FHD, 165Hz, 100% sRGB

• Processor: Intel Core i7-13650HX

If you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you get 90 days free, meaning you can instantly dive into over 100 games without spending extra. It’s almost like ASUS is actively encouraging my bad habits.
