The world of gaming laptops is complicated. It's never easy to find the perfect balance between the price, performance, and portability of a laptop in a single product. But since performance is the ultimate goal of a gaming laptop, price and portability seem to always take a back seat. The Asus ROG Strix G16 is here to disrupt that age-old notion. While it's not a small laptop by any means, it seems to have figured out a formula that works for a rational price range (by gaming laptop standards). Let’s have a detailed look.  Key Specifications of Asus ROG Strix G16  Design   The Asus ROG Strix G16 comes in 12 different configurations out of the box. That is a lot to take in even for hardcore gamers. For the sake of simplicity, this review uses the standard G614JI-N4175X model. This unit has specs that can be considered right in the middle of the lot.  The design of all the units is exactly the same with size and internal configurations differing in each model. By the external looks, the design principle from the G15 of last year has been carried on to the G16. The hinge has been staggered below onto the base in a typical ROG design. The back hinge has been updated with a new grill.  Read more: Best MacBooks in Bangladesh: Which Apple Laptop Should You Buy? Speaking of grills, there seems to be no end to them. The ROG Strix 16 has an aluminum top, a plastic body, and a hard plastic base. The sides and the base have been crisscrossed with air vents in all types of different designs. This has been done to let the hot air pass from the CPU and keep the laptop cool. The G16 has an intelligent noiseless cooling system but more on that later.  The aluminum top of G16 has some aggressive ROG branding which may not be to everyone’s preference. The Scars model, which is a much higher-tier variant of the G16 has a more toned-down back with the Aura Sync ROG eye logo. The standard model doesn’t have the Aura Sync on the logo.  There is a white bar along the front edge of the laptop. This time Asus has included RGB lighting for the device on the edges which gives it a quite futuristic look.  Read more: Laptop Buyer’s Guide: How to choose the right one  The choice of ports on the G16 is abundant. All of the ports are placed on the right of the laptop. There is the power port, RJ45 LAN, HDMI 2.1, and two USB 3.2 with one being a Thunderbolt one for PD support and a headphone jack. The HDMI port will be able to project up to 4K at 120 fps max on an external display.
