Far Cry 5, 6, Metro, Red Dead Redemption 2, Tomb Raider games – recorded with the included Benchmark utilities; Now, this chassis has been available in stores for almost a year with the 2022 Flow X16s, and I haven’t seen complaints about the armrest scratching or denting around the corners, in the same way as with the smaller Flow X13 models. Those small rubber pads in the corners might eventually peel off, though. You’ll want to ask Derek more about the reliability of his unit, as this Flow X16 has been his daily driver since last summer, so shoot him any questions in this review of the 2022 ROG Flow X16 or this more recent comparison between the Blade 16 and the Flow X16. That aside, this panel is also a high-refresh and fast-response option, and supports GSync on this notebook, all must-have features on a modern gaming device– it’s not as fast as the standard IPS panel, though, due to the technical particularities of the miniLED technology. As far as the hardware goes, this Flow X16 series is built on an AMD processor and Nvidia graphics. Our review unit is the mid-tier option with the Ryzen 9 6900HS processor, 32 GB of DDR5 memory, and an RTX 3060 dGPU from Nvidia, while our review of the 3070Ti Flow X16 configuration is also available here now. Plus, as a member of the ROG Flow series, this is compatible with the XG Mobile external enclosure, in case you’re aiming for even better gaming/graphics performance, which is also a topic for a future article. The layout is fine, with proper sized and spaced keys, slightly spaced arrows, and the extra set of multimedia keys at the top left, characteristic of ROG laptops.

Armory Crate membuat penyesuaian dalam sekejap agar sesuai dengan The ROG Flow X16 remains one of the best portable all-purpose laptops that you can buy today, and pretty much without a direct-tier alternative even in 2023. Here’s what we got in our tests of this panel with single-zone lighting, with an X-Rite i1 Display Pro sensor: We’ll update once we know more, and in meantime, follow this link for updated configurations and prices in your region at the time you’re reading this article. Final thoughts- 2022 ASUS ROG Flow X16 review As a ROG Flow model, this X16 is compatible with the ROG XG Mobile external GPU, available with up to RTX 4090 graphics in this generation.The thermal/power design of this Flow X16 allows the processor to run at up to 80W of sustained power in demanding CPU loads, ensuring the maximum multi-threaded performance that this AMD platform is capable of. That’s only possible on Manual mode with maxed-out fans, though. We’ll get to that in a bit. I am a fan of this particular laptop (2022 Asus X16 RTX 3060) and even bought two for my family. While Armoury Crate has been fine for me, some strongly dislike it. Fortunately, there is an alternative in a third-party app named G-Helper which is a lightweight replacement. It's made by an individual developer – and being an IT professional myself – I can say he has done an amazing job with G-Helper. The keyboard on the Flow X16 is a standard Asus implementation, similar to the one offered on the Zephyrus G15 and Zephyrus G16 lineups over the last few years.

The 2023 Asus ROG Flow X16 is listed in some markets at the time of this article, but not all the configurations are available everywhere. This variant ran more efficiently, and that’s all due to the less power-hungry IPS display. Thus, if runtimes are that important to you, aim for an IPS display configuration (if available in your region, for either the 2022 or 2023 generations). Aside from these main power profiles, there are also some GPU options to choose from: Ultimate (dGPU only, requires a restart when selected), Standard (enables Advanced Optimus), Optimized (enables regular Optimus), and Eco (regular Optimus, but disables the dGPU). I mostly kept the laptop on Standard for daily use and tests, and opted for Ultimate for gaming.

Thing is, the performance difference between these three scenarios is within a few percent, so the only noticeable benefit of the Manual mode is the fact that it allows a decrease in temperatures, something worth considering if you’re going to run demanding CPU loads for long periods of time on this device.
