Finally got my new laptop… anyone else using the ROG Strix?

Picked up the ROG Strix G16 with 1TB, 32GB RAM, and an RTX 4070. Anyone here have experience with this setup?

Looks awesome! Hope you enjoy using it, it’s a solid choice.

If you haven’t done it yet, consider setting a max battery charge to 60-80% with MyAsus. It really helps.

Wait, you can actually do this? That’s really useful.

Yep, it’s an option! Basically, it’s a way to protect your battery. If you’re staying plugged in, it’s best not to keep it fully charged all the time.

G Helper app might be even better for that, at least for me.

What’s the point of this? I just got one too, and I’m trying to figure out how to take care of it best.

ROG family here! Good to see more people joining.

Is the 4070 good enough? I’m thinking of waiting for Black Friday for the G18 model. Any suggestions?

Depends on what you need it for, but it’s generally more than capable.

4070 is great! Just a heads-up though, the G18 is much bigger than you might think. It won’t fit in a standard backpack, and even the charger’s pretty bulky. A lot of people stick with the G16 for that reason, but if you’re cool with the size, go for it!

@Nile
Thanks! I’m studying civil engineering, so I prefer a larger screen for working on projects. I was tempted by the 4080, but my friend convinced me it might not be worth the extra money. And yeah, I’ll need a bigger backpack for sure!

@Pax
Sounds perfect for you then! Unless you find a great deal, the 4070 should be more than enough for your needs.

Can you share the full specs and price?

I gave the main specs. Not sure about the exact USD price since I’m in Asia.

What cooling pad are you using there?

It’s the K45 model.

I got the same one, but with 16GB RAM. It’s been awesome.

:fire: Congrats on the new setup!

Hope to get mine soon too!
