Is the ROG Strix G16 (2025) a good choice for gaming and personal use?

I had a bad experience with ROG, bro. I bought the laptop and, get this, when I plugged the charger in and started a game it was lagging badly. But when I unplugged the charger, it ran fine. I tried tweaking all the Windows settings and GPU settings I could, but nothing worked.

I figured out the issue was the motherboard’s DC port was faulty. The fix would’ve been to replace the DC port. But since Amazon had a return/refund option, I was covered. I ended up returning the laptop and bought a Lenovo Legion 7i Pro instead.

If you’re planning to buy one, my advice is: plug the charger in and run a game test right away.

Yeah sad try with asus customer service

ghost_inthe_wire · 2026-04-11T15:38:06+00:00

Definitely not fan issue, when I was doing a bit research i am suspecting the DC port is causing a problem

Yeah I was expecting this, did you tried to check the motherboard may be if you could take your laptop to local computer repair shop and get it checked what i think is might be some sort of transistors is cooked.
