2023 Asus ROG Flow X16 - Still Amazing?

Рет қаралды 119,424

Күн бұрын

The 2023 Asus ROG Flow X16 is a gaming laptop that folds! Whether you're using it as a tablet, in tent mode, or just a standard gaming laptop, it's got something for everyone in a truly unique and one-of-a-kind package. Touchscreen, QHD 1600p, glossy Mini-LED "Nebula HDR" display with 1,100 nits of brightness, Nvidia RTX 4060 or 4070 graphics, and this year they switched from AMD Ryzen 6900HS to Intel i9-13900H. It's got plenty of juice to run your favorite games at max settings, but is the 2023 model really worth it over last year's? We're here to find out!
We'll also compare it to other laptops like the Razer Blade 15, Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, and Zephyrus M16.

@meorir19 11 ай бұрын

This is exactly what was desperatly looking for. The review is very well made, but the most important thing for me is your the noise / performance spreadsheet and commentary. There is no place online where one can find side by side comparsions of performance and noise levels of laptops in different scenarios. The performance of GPUs is so good nowdays, that many people are willing to sacrifice some fps for more quiet laptop. Another thing is work. Ofc there are some ppl that will benefit from 100% i9-13990XXHK processor, but many more (I belive) will use it in some middle-of-the-road scenarios. And for them it is very important to know how the laptop behaves in low load, medium load and high load scenarios (noise wise). I think this will be one of the most important aspects now and I will be watching your channel closely! I cant wait for RB16 review. Btw, I have 2022 X16 that I had some problems with (turned out it was SSD drive) - and i was wondering if I should change to M16 or 2023 X16 or RB16. And this good balance of performance, build quality and noise was the most important thing for me - but I could not find any place that would give me any answers. Until now ;) GW!

Last year, the darker finishes were mostly the ones with RTX 3060 and IPS display while the grey finishes were the ones with 3070 and Mini-LED display. Thank you for the wonderful review as always! You deserve much more subscribers than what you have now. I hope you do not change the way you are so detailed with your reviews while incorporating comparisons with similar laptops, and previous versions of the laptops. I ended up returning my Strix Scar 16 because of how obvious the blooming is with the 2023 Mini-LED panels. I thought it was a panel issue, but it turns out to be more of a dimming algorithm problem. I'll probably reconsider it when they get it perfect or as close to the Macbooks.

Well done! You got the like and subscribe! Came here for the x16 (2023) review, but will be replaying the Armory Crate portion a bunch. I think I found my new laptop! GREAT REVIEW!!! I'm still working on a surface pro GEN 1, for mobile stuff.... yes the first one that came out about 10 years ago. On my desktop I've been having issues with Lightroom being sluggish and I believe it has to do with my settings in Armory Crate and probably the BIOS. I'm not sure if I have it set up properly. I upgraded my desktop with the idea that I wouldn't have to do it again for another 8-10 years and built using the following: ROG crosshair viii dark hero AMD 5950x 128gb gskill 3600mhz RAM (ddr4) 1tb m.2 nvme drive, 850w PSU 1070 (weakest component) Whenever I am using the clone tools it just feels slow, also, whenever I use a new windows explorer window it takes a couple seconds to pull it up. The whole experience just doesn't feel snappy. I'm running windows 10 pro, not many 3rd party programs opening on startup besides my LG monitor and some of the motherboard Asus programs.

Lovely review, very well put and organized congrats! Got this bad boy with 4070 for 2.7k euros here in EU and I couldn't be happier since it checks every single mark that I've wanted from a 2in1. Big mini led screen, nice h/w (not the best but I wasn't expecting nor looking for 4080/4090) in these more slim dimensions while keeping the weight good AND being able to use it as a huge tablet with touch screen. You can virtually sit it at every possible place no matter how small it is, keep it in your hands and have a very respectable desktop replacement in your hands to do virtually everything on the go. The fact that it is highly upgradable is the icing on the cake for me. Yeah for this amount of money you can buy a bulk(ier) 4080 gaming laptop but I wasn't looking for something like this since gaming is important but not the top priority for me in a 2 in 1 laptop like this. I wanted a machine to be able to take it in my hands and use it in vertical or horizontal mode with touch screen, put it wherever I want in an airplane/train/bus or somewhere where space is limited while also having the ability to game decently in it.. Having the XG mobile option is nice also. I was able to o/c the GPU quite well also with 350/1200 so a welcome 10% increase in performance can come handy if needed! Such a great laptop..

Something that few reviewers have talked about is music production, which the AMD CPU makes such a difference that an intel CPU is more or less a dealbreaker. I have the 2022 now and I have just ordered the 2023 and plan to do a side-by-side comparison for music production with Ableton. I am suspecting that the 2023 version might be going back because of the intel CPU.

I believe my Flow X16 has uneven CPU paste application. I'm experiencing excessively high CPU temperatures, even when playing games like League of Legends. One incident that convinced me of a poorly applied liquid metal was during a CPU burn test, where the temperature instantly spiked up to 95 degrees Celsius. I've modded and repasted several laptops that I own, so I know this isn't normal. Unfortunately, I can't repaste my Flow X16 due to the warranty sticker. The thought of returning my laptop just because of a poor paste job is frustrating. Additionally, I've been facing issues with the trackpad's ribbon cable seating. The poor connection sometimes renders my trackpad partially or completely unusable, showing a "hardware missing" message. I had to remove the battery (ignoring the warranty sticker) and reseat the trackpad cables because they were initially seated crookedly. Asus seriously needs to improve their QC. Great review and keep it up.

They also tend to be a bit smaller and lighter of course.

Cheers for the review, I have a 2022 x13 and am looking to upgrade, the big stuff for me is the dual 2280 m.2 drives

@yurymleh 11 ай бұрын

Beware. x16 is much bigger. The screen alone is like 45% larger area-wise so the chassis is too if not more.

Great review! Have u had a chance to use a stylus with it? If so, would it be smooth enough to use everyday? Thanks

@JoshCravesTech 11 ай бұрын

I’ve used the Surface Pen and it works great! Very smooth and I’d feel comfortable using it daily.

Congratulations for the completeness of 'excellent review. Smooth, precise and focused on each chapter of the video. The only suggestions I could give you, would be to be able to devote more space to energy efficiency, as well as more tests regarding temperatures, for example a synthetic stress test, involving CPU and GPU simultaneously, to understand the maximum temperatures, in the worst possible scenario recreateable, for example using Furmark at the same time, and CInebench in loop for 40 minutes.

Just got a Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and those fans sound like a jet engine taking off. You might have just convinced me to return and get this!

@JoshCravesTech 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I wouldn’t blame you 🤣 the cool thing too is you can easily lower fans even more using something like G-Helper on these. G-Helper has been a lifesaver and is way easier to navigate and figure out than Armoury Crate or Legion Vantage!

Hi JOSH! Any plans to do the Zenbook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602) 2023 with 4080?

@electricmiragemedia 7 ай бұрын

Your reviews are amazing, Josh. Thank you so much. They are more informative than any I have found. BTW, I highly recommend G-Helper as a lightweight utility that replaces and even supersedes Armoury Crate. You can even undervolt AMD with it.

Mahn.... i can't even count how many times i've been watching this rog flow x16 laptop videos, just another video you watch of things you love but can't get, and just wish santa is actually real so you can make a wish and get one🤣🤣 Great video by the way, i've been wondering how well it handles heat when playing triple A titles, by what we've seen in the video, its amazing

Superb review as always! Do you know if the display issues you’ve described are relevant in IPS displays? Or is it solely a mini-led problem?

@JoshCravesTech 10 ай бұрын

It is unique to mini-LED only! The standard IPS display models do not experience any of that.

@MaxDrougge 3 ай бұрын

Great review. Any idea if there will be 2024 versions? Thinking of getting one along with an XG-mobile. I think a model with lower end GPU for better battery life and when I plug it into the XG-mobile it gets great gaming performance.

@JoshCravesTech 3 ай бұрын

They put out a roadmap of laptops to be released this year and sadly the Flow was not in there. Which makes sense because the improvements would be basically nothing. This a bit of a “skip” year for Intel, AMD, and Nvidia. But that makes it a great year to buy a 2022 or 2023 laptop at a heavy discount!

@MaxDrougge 3 ай бұрын

@@JoshCravesTech thank you for the quick reply. Alright. Well, maybe it's worth buying then anyway. I will use it as a work laptop. But privately I have an Asus Rog ally, which also can use an XG-mobile. I am either getting a Rog flow x16 with 4050 and 6850M XT XG mobile, or only the Rog flow x16 4070.. Getting the XG mobile will of course make it possible to game better on my Rog ally. Although, I can also game on the work laptop, just a little bit less convenient. I assume the 4070 is a bit better than the 6850M XT... Unsure what to get, what do you think?

@jairbear1188 10 ай бұрын

Would you recommend an x16 (4070), a g16 (4070), g14 (4080) or a m16 (4080), all of them found on best buy? I am a student who wants a very vibrant screen balanced with portability and gaming power. Price is out of the question.

@arianaskari1502 3 ай бұрын

Hey Josh I have just bought flow x16 4070 I have installed all the drivers but I am not able to change the gpu dynamically to 120w. There is only the fan customization for Gpu and Cpu. In the video you have recorded I figured out this armoury crate you are explaining is not rlated to the Flow x16 since the gpu is 4090. could you help me to how change the Gpu wat? By the way Thanks for your amazing video.

@liamhill1702 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! Your video is the reason I bought this laptop. the details you provided were top notch. Although I did swallow a hard pill and get the RTX4060 version, but the display in it is still sooo much better than my old laptop, so I don't care, I'm super happy with it.

@JoshCravesTech 5 ай бұрын

Sorry I didn’t see this comment! But the stylus support is very good! I’d say it’s very comparable to an iPad, maybe just a tiny bit less smooth. The pen matters a lot. On the Flow Discord people have shared REALLY good drawings and stuff they could do on it.

Another winner - just love your videos, Josh. You deserve a bigger crowd! I am about to decide between these 2 laptops: ASUS Flow X16 RTX 4070 versus Yoga Pro 9i 16 RTX 4070 (Here in Germany, the Flow 16 2023 is not available up to this point) What is your take on the Yoga Pro 9i 16 RTX 4070? Especially, noise and heat emissions!

@JoshCravesTech 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! I think the Yoga 9i looks awesome this year. it looks super thin and the 4070 is cool. I hate that it has the stupid numpad and typical Legion-style keyboard (personal preference). It also will fall behind in performance due to the GPU hitting 20w less and I think the CPU is a bit lower performing too? Idk too much about the 13905H. Now I know I mentioned that TGP doesn't matter as much on the 4070 and that is true, but 100w MAX is something to note, because that means it will probably run at like 70-80w most of the time unless the CPU isn't being used at all, and that will cause a bit less performance. Matt Moniz also pointed out that the Extreme Performance mode hits 53dB which is quite a lot louder than the Flow's Turbo mode that only hits like 46-47dB. And if this is the score that the Yoga gets (at 6:18 in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLSSfLJ8u5e0hnU.html) while in that Extreme mode then it definitely offers way less performance per decibel than the Flow. The Flow scores higher than that even its silent mode. The difference between a graphics score of 8k and 12k in games and gpu-heavy programs will be pretty noticeable. Also I couldn't find if the Yoga was touchscreen or not, or if it had the mini-LED single-zone toggle like the Flow has, which would be pretty important as well. I don't think it looks like a bad laptop by any means but if both were around the same price, I'd probably pick the Flow X16 personally.

@aaeriam 10 ай бұрын

I thought this was a great and thorough review 👍 I'm currently on the fence between getting the new Flow X16 or Z13 with an XG Mobile Dock for either choice. Do you think the smaller form factor of the Z13 will significantly limit the CPU performance when even when it's connected to the dock?
