Chassis, Connections, Screen of Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JVR-N4040W

Cooled by ROG Intelligent Cooling technology using 2 fans, Conductonot liquid metal heat pipes and air grills, this versatile multimedia laptop targets gamers and creatives and has a gamer look with a dark eclipse gray design with its angular lines.

This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity – mainly located on the left side – which includes 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 axis wireless module and for connecting it remotely, HDMI video output It is practical to connect easily. For a monitor or TV for example, the Ethernet and audio ports also guarantee 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) transfers that are 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if peripherals USB 3.0 are plugged into them.

The keyboard can apparently be backlit in the dark so that its keys can be better identified. On the other hand, it does not include a numeric keypad on its right side, unlike the 15-inch standard.
Fortunately Asus makes up for this absence by offering its numberpad technology. Once enabled, NumPad converts the touchpad into a tactile numeric keypad for easy number entry.

An undeniable advantage of this configuration, the screen will appeal to both gamers and demanding creators.
Its frequency of 240Hz is much higher than the standard 60Hz, which obviously improves overall fluidity, including games.
As a bonus, its colorimetry is much more faithful than average and its viewing angles are remarkable, both horizontally, thanks to its DCI-P3 and IPS specifications.
Fans of high definition content are not left out because we are working with a screen whose definition is clearly better than Full HD, while its 16/10th format shows more elements in height than the classic 16/9th.
The panel’s anti-reflective treatment ensures better visibility in bright environments (eg outside) than a glossy coating.

Performance, battery life of Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JVR-N4040W

Asus ROG Strix G16 G614JVR-N4040W can appeal to those who have a good budget and want to invest in a versatile high definition high fidelity laptop in a comfortable format, powerful in multimedia, gaming and creation equipped with the latest components.

It may appeal to some people looking for a powerful multimedia student laptop for whom weight and thickness are not important criteria. Because it can last around 10 hours on battery with light usage as shown in our dedicated test.

Demanding users will be attracted by the great overall power it provides as it is much more than what is provided by most models in the market.
This multimedia creator gaming laptop PC is in fact powered by Core i9-14900HX, a high-end Intel Raptor Lake refresh processor with 24 hybrid cores and Iris Xe graphics solution, associated with a large amount of 32 GB RAM.

Thanks to this core, we clearly get faster processing than the classic quad/hexa/octo core and 8/16 GB DDR4/5. The difference is most noticeable in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing using multi-core.

Creative people will be even more delighted as applications that take advantage of GPU computing power like Adobe Premiere/Photoshop, VSDC or Sony Vegas will get a boost of multimedia processing through the embedded dedicated graphics card.

More precisely, we find the integrated GeForce RTX 4060 Ray Tracing, a dedicated high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card capable of running the latest games… if you are ready to make concessions for the heaviest titles.
Because the screen’s 2.5K definition requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 4060 is used by NVIDIA Optimus technology for graphics processing considered too heavy for Intel Iris Xe.

With GeForce RTX 4060 or Iris Xe, you can view HD photos and videos. Iris Xe offers the advantage of low energy consumption, which favors an autonomy that lasts about 5 hours on the battery in light use.

Optimus actually automatically switches between Intel Iris Xe and GeForce RTX 4060 in real time as needed.

On the storage side Asus offers 2 slots for SSD, one of them is free to expand the space if needed, which is commendable for scalability.
The 1000 GB of the basic integrated SSD will, however, be enough for most users to be able to install and store their games, software and files, including their personal creations.

SSDs provide undeniable advantages over hard drives, especially allowing faster access to online game cards or faster game/software launch, processing, and start/shutdown.

Fluidity and responsiveness are actually better on a day-to-day basis with an SSD than a hard drive.
It must be said that in addition to being more shock resistant, quieter and more energy efficient, SSDs are faster.

Finally, expect this versatile multimedia creator gaming laptop to heat up and make itself heard under heavy loads (eg games, processing).
To contain the temperature, it can be attached to a ventilated support (Remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
