[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm super excited to receive my first ever gaming laptop! I've always played my PlayStation on my TV and figured it would be a while before I could ever get PC setup, but luckily that isn't the case! I've been watching reviews and reading up on how to get the best use of the specs available for the optimal gaming experience. Can't wait to get everything set up when I'm not so busy with summer classes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the ASUS G614FM-WS94 for a few weeks now and it's hands down one of the most powerful and reliable laptops I've owned. It's part of the ROG (Republic of Gamers) line, so I expected solid gaming performance, but it's also been incredible for multitasking, video editing, and heavy-duty programs I use for work. The 16-inch QHD display is stunning – sharp, vibrant, and with a high refresh rate that makes everything from gaming to browsing look smooth. The RTX 3060 GPU and 12th Gen i9 processor are a powerhouse combo. This thing boots fast, handles AAA games on high settings without overheating, and easily runs multiple tabs and apps at once with zero lag. The build quality feels premium and sleek, with a customizable RGB keyboard that's not just for show — it's super responsive and comfortable to type on. Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, and the cooling system is surprisingly quiet even under pressure. If you need a machine that can keep up with your workload and your gaming habits, this ASUS model is more than capable. It's not cheap, but it's a smart investment if you need performance and reliability in one machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All our teenage children were looking forward to the delivery of ASU's ROG G16 and that day has come. The laptop is packed beautifully, safely and with delicate taste. Everything is harmonious and reliable. The screen quality is great, this allows you to enjoy a clear and bright picture even in bright daylight. This is important, as our teenagers often play not only in a dark room, but also in more illuminated rooms. The sound system with surround sound support creates the effect of full immersion in the game - whether it's the rumble of explosions, enemy steps or subtle sound effects in RPG. As our children say, this Asus "pulls out the most modern games". Tested on the following favorite games: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Fortnite, high screen refresh rate gives an advantage in dynamic battles and smooth gameplay with a high frame rate for competitive matches. I would also like to highlight a convenient keyboard with backlight and tactile return, a high-quality touchpad, optimal port location and a very good cooling system, which is very important for gaming laptops. The battery charges very quickly and lasts for at least 4 hours when used intensively.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this is a great gaming laptop! My husband is more of a gamer than I am but I play a lot of Roblox and Minecraft with our daughters and we've had no performance issues thus far. I've played without it plugged in a few times and the battery lasts a few hours while playing games. When not playing games, the bagger lasts for even longer. The display is beautiful and the matte screen is so much nicer blocking out the glare from any lighting behind me. For its size, it's actually quite lightweight and doesn't feel super bulky. The colors of all the lights and the customization capabilities make it feel like I can make it “mine” and not just another computer. So far, this has been such a great addition to our gaming experience. Absolutely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is my first gaming laptop I've ever owned, in fact it's one of the first laptops I've owned in over 15 years. I normally game on my desktop pc that I built but I've really been enjoying the convenience of this laptop. The build quality is awesome. Super sleek, thin, and just looks awesome. I've been traveling for work over the past few months and have been lugging around a ps5 to game while in hotels. This has been a godsend being able easily pack and bring in my backpack while flying. I've been gaming on older titles like dmc5, mortal shell and some apex legends and these games have been running well over 150 fps on max settings. For newer games it can struggle a bit but still playable at lower settings for a solid 50-60 fps. The screen is a perfect size (16”) for me to use while traveling. I've truly enjoyed being able to take this everywhere with me with ease and be able to still get some gaming in while on the go. If you're looking to play brand new titles I'd probably go for a model with a 5070 or 5080 but this has been perfect for the games I play. Display is great and battery holds up well. Can run warm while playing games but all gpus do in laptops, and the triple fans really help keep it cool while gaming for extended periods of time. I would highly recommend to anyone doing lighter gaming with titles a few years old and for those that want to do work and media on the laptop. No regrets with this laptop at all! 10/10!!!
