Expect 45W sustained in CPU only-loads, ~100W in GPU loads, and around 115W in combined CPU+GPU loads (15-25W CPU + 90-100 W GPU).

The Turbo mode ramps up the fans to levels of ~45 dB, which is quieter than the Turbo mode on all the other ROG laptops that I’ve tested lately. We have the mini LED option on our unit. This is a refinement of the AU Optronics mini LED panel implemented in the previous generation, with 2x more dimming zones and much smoother uniformity. It’s the same panel that Asus offer on the ROG Zephyrus M16 and the ROG Scar 16, but in a glass-covered implementation on this Flow X16. This means that potential glare should be accounted for, but it’s not really an issue on this sort of bright panel. For connectivity, there’s Wireless 6E and Bluetooth 5 on this unit, with a triple-band implementation. This sample performed well on Wi-Fi with my setup, although the wifi speeds drop a fair bit when going further way from the router, at 30+ feet with two walls in between.

Gaming aside, this laptop is a breeze with daily use, with light multitasking, browsing, or video streaming. Studio III mana yang akan digunakan.

The top-tier ROG Flow X16 GV601VI model reviewed here, with the i9-13900H, RTX 4070 Laptop dGPU, 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB of SSD storage, and the mini LED display, is listed at around 2999 EUR here in Europe and 2699 GBP in the UK. I couldn’t find it on the US market, for now, but I’d expect it to go for around 2500 USD, more or less. That’s expensive compared to the Zephyrus G15 and M16, which are both several hundreds of USD/EUR less for similar specs. Take these with a grain of salt, though, as prices might go down once the Flow X16 actually becomes available in stores. For storage, there are two M.2 2280 SSD slots inside, and our unit came with a mid-tier Micron 2400 drive. This is not as fast as the Samsung PM91A drives offered with other ROG models.That’s the QHD+ 240Hz 3ms panel discussed in this review of the Zephyrus G16, and is still an excellent display, just without zone-dimming and not as bright in HDR as the miniLED one. That screen is more affordable, though, and notably more efficient when using the laptop on battery power. Spec-wise, the 2022 ASUS ROG Flow X16 series is built on the latest AMD Ryzen HS and Nvidia RTX hardware available to date. The Ryzen 9 6900HS is an AMD Rembrandt 6000 processor, with 8 Cores and 16 Threads. It’s the more efficient bin of the standard Ryzen 9 6900HX found on full-size laptops, with almost the same capabilities as long as provided with enough power. It’s also a revision of the Ryzen 9 5900HS from last year, built on the updated Zen3+ 6 nm technology, with improvements in design, IPC, and efficiency.

We’re only looking at a 5-10% loss over the Turbo mode. That’s more than impressive, and the Silent mode is excellent as well on this laptop, especially for casual use and light gaming with a 60 fps cap, as you’ll see further down. For the GPU, the 2023 Flow X16 is available with mid-tier RTX 4000 chips. What we have on this sample is the RTX 4070 Laptop dGPU running at up to 120W with Dynamic Boost. For now, though, as long as you’re OK with the particularities of this series and you’re willing to pay the kind of money Asus are going to demand for it, this Flow X16 is the multi-purpose laptop to get in its segment and earns my full recommendation. The second key ingredient in the Flow X16’s cooling solution is the new Pulsar Heatsink. Comprised of ultra-thin copper cooling fins as slim as 0.1mm, this double-sized heatsink has total surface area of 110,902mm², making it extra dense without limiting airflow. Combined with the Frost Force cooling system and Thermal Grizzly’s liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU, the Flow X16 is redefining what thin and light gaming looks like. Bring in the XG Mobile's big gunsI’ll also add that I haven’t noticed any electronic noises or coil whining during my time with this sample. Keep in mind this unit is not the miniLED display option, so there’s no whining coming from the screen either.
