The Asus ROG Strix G17 shouldn't be among the best gaming laptops, but one configuration stands out as a supreme value.
Asus ROG Strix G17 MSRP $1,400.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “As long as you buy the right one, the Asus ROG Strix G17 is one of the best values you can find in a gaming laptop right now.” Pros Cons The Asus ROG Strix G17 isn’t among the best gaming laptops. Or, at least, it wouldn’t normally be. If you search for the laptop and pick up a model through Asus or a random retailer, you’re getting a powerful 17-inch gaming laptop with decent trimmings. Nothing to move the needle.
You trade that off, but this model also comes in at $1,400 — $400 cheaper than the lowest-end model Asus has available on its website. Even stranger, this version comes with 16GB of DDR5 memory, while the base version only comes with 8GB. For looks, The Eclipse Gray colorway is broken up by a silver ROG logo and a dotted matrix on the lid typical of Asus gaming laptops. There’s also a paint splatter look on the back shield, adding just a touch of personality to an otherwise drab design. It’s a good balance that I wish more gaming laptops would strike.
The story here is definitely USB-C power delivery, though. This is a feature mostly reserved for premium laptops, so it’s great to see it on a machine like the G17. You’ll want to use the 280-watt AC adapter for gaming, but a quick charge with the USB-C port can help you top off when you’re away from the charger.
One of the best gaming keyboards Asus has refined its laptop keyboards over the last several generations, and they’re among my favorites now . The Strix G17 adopts the same keyboard that I’ve typed literally tens of thousands of words on, which features a long travel along with dedicated media keys to quickly adjust your volume .
Even with access to 12 cores , this chip is fast. In Geekbench 6, it isn’t far behind the 14-core Core i9-13900HK in the Alienware x16, and it blazes past the efficient eight-core Ryzen 9 7940HS inside the Razer Blade 14 if we look at Cinebench R23. It’s not just the synthetic test, either. At 1080p, which our Alienware x17 R2 review unit was locked at, the two machines are offering basically identical performance in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Both Cyberpunk 2077 and Returnal support Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 . This includes DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, and that combo can make a world of difference for a laptop in this class. For proof, look at Cyberpunk 2077‘s Ultra RT mode. At native resolution, it’s locked to an unplayable 18 fps. With DLSS 3 on, you’re scratching 70 fps.
