In my experience with the ROG Strix G17, I did not notice abnormal heating issues. The company says that its CPU comes with Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal cooling tech that keeps the laptop from heating up to uncomfortable levels. It also comes with a thermal module with 4 four dedicated exhaust vents with Dual Arc Flow. The interesting bit is that despite the four fans, you won't hear a lot of noise from these exhausts, except when you're really pushing the GPU. Asus says that this is because of its 0dB Ambient Cooling Technology.
The G17 also features a 17.3-inch QHD display with a 240Hz refresh rate, so you can enjoy smooth and fluid gameplay. The display is sharp, offers punchy colours and the gameplay is quite smooth as well. The display also has a wide viewing angle, so you can share your screen with others. It also comes with support for G-Sync and Dolby Vision HDR. You also get a 720p webcam on the top bezel for video calls or streaming.
In terms of battery, it can last for up to 8 hours on a single charge, which is impressive for a gaming laptop. The battery supports up to 100W of charging. As claimed by the company, the battery did manage to go from 0 to 50 per cent in around half an hour.
The ROG Strix G17 (2023) is a well-designed laptop with a sleek and stylish look. It is made from high-quality materials and feels very sturdy. In addition to its powerful hardware, the G17 ticks a lot of right boxes that make it a great choice for gamers. These include a backlit keyboard, a comfortable wrist rest, and a long-lasting battery. There are no two-ways that it is aimed at just gamers.
Overall, the ROG Strix G17 (2023) is a great choice for gamers who are looking for a powerful gaming laptop. It is a well-designed, high-performance laptop with a premium gaming experience. At a starting price of Rs 2,15,900, it might not be the cheapest, but it is certainly worth considering.
