The Asus ROG Flow X16 brings together the best of the ROG line-up. From the G15 to the X13 it really highlights all that was done right in each of the ROG laptops and puts together an incredible laptop. Can't wait to see how it performs during the benchmark tests.

@bballcrazeddan23 11 месяцев назад

There is one thing most of the review's I've seen on this thing are missing: the tent mode is billiant for gaming in controller based games such as FIFA or NBA 2K. What's more, if you're planning on gaming or watching movies on the go, especially in trains, this is the perfect format. That's why I will probably pick this over the otherwise fabulous Lenovo Legion Sim 7i 2023 and pick up the X16 4070 instead.

@JohnSlaughterND Год назад

The difference in speed between the internal 3070ti and the external 3080 is not worth the price. IMHO. I think it shaved a few minutes off of an hour render. Just meh. Where it excels is being able to render a large/complex scene AT ALL that won't fit in the internal 8GB card's VRAM. 16Gb of VRAM is insane, and absolutely worth it if you need it for GPU CompSci AI or 3D Rendering.

@JohnSlaughterND Год назад

This might be a dumb question but, can you increase the RAM more, like for example, I bought the G14 with only 16Gb of RAM. The 8Gb is baked on the motherboard so only 1 is swapable..So common thought would be my max RAM is only up to 24. But I want to increase it more than that.. so, is it possible?

2 in 1 should be standard in every laptop be it so much bigger and heavier even then x16, or even much smaller, with sturdy hinges ofc, even if you/barely any1 would ever use them in tablet mode, the tent mode is the sleeper killer feature which would be great for any devices for additional cooling and practical placement...

Tbh. laptop is decent, but 16" size is kinda killed it for me, also it kinda overlaps itself with XG mobile GPU. It's not portable enough to be a daily go-to laptop, and when docked, it's already strong enough with 3070Ti and won't benefit much from XG mobile, hoping Asus throws in Flow X14 next year. X13 is okay, but it's too small, especially battery life for an on go laptop, IMO Flow X14 would be the sweet spot for me, but if not, I'll wait if they refresh X13 next year with improvement on battery life.

Pros: 1. I don't have to wait until I get home to a desktop with an Ultrasharp to edit photos. And given the age of the desktop (still on Skylake) not only will this be faster on HDR and, with the right GPU/XG Mobile, also faster on games. 2. Either I just upgrade to a faster monitor even without the same color range for HDR, or just go completely semi-mobile and have this on tent mode or screen mode (bonus: if it's cold then it will blow air towards my hands) on all video gaming at home given I use an extrernal keyboard at home. And I can also just ditch the laptop cooler with a fan if this will be oriented either way. Either way there's less of a need for a bigger monitor if I can sort of compensate for the smaller laptop display by having it closer to my head, if set a bit lower (as long as it doesn't make my neck hurt and I can lower my glasses enough, no problem). 3. If it's a more casual trip we can just set it on the dinner table folded instead of always having to hook it up to the hotel HDTV (which sometimes has inaccessible ports, and I've set off an alarm just hooking up an HDMI cable) to play Mortal Kombat etc. 4. XG Mobile. Possible to upgrade to an RX8700m or RTX5070 mobile later on. Con: Why no AMD Advantage Ed. I would have thought a 6700m or 6800m with 10gb or 12gb would be more useful if anyone's getting this with more creative uses in mind. Not to mention AMD and NVidia drivers have a tendency to go haywire when they're in the same machine starting with the old G14 not switching over to the 3060/3050 or in the review I can't seem to find, some kind of issue with either 6800m or 3080 XG Mobile.
