2023 Asus ROG Flow X16 - Still Amazing?
Переглядів 116,812
День томуThe 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.
I hope you enjoyed the video! If you did, please like and subscribe to help the channel out, so I can continue making videos like these (and hopefully put them out quicker).

@meorir19 10 місяців тому
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.
@d4ydr33m3r 9 місяців тому
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..

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.

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.

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.

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

Amazing review, seriously probably one of the best review videos i've ever seen, but one thing not mentioned is how much does it weigh? Going to be traveling with this laptop as well so weight is always a factor.
@JoshCravesTech 7 місяців тому
Thank you so much! Yeah I really gotta start putting the dimensions/weight in the video lol 😂 but yeah this one is 4.4 lbs or about 2kg. Very light for the specs it’s got!

Great review, honestly you cover almost every question that anyone could have. The only thing that I'm curious about ghosting/tearing of the panel... if you have a high speed camera, it may be nice to compare its display with the 240hz golden standard (which I think is the ZOWIE XL2540K, at least according to the CSGO community afaik :D).

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

Hey there awesome review I’m curious how are the thermals in tablet mode compared to tent mode?
@JoshCravesTech 7 місяців тому
Tablet mode dials back performance a bit so that things stay cool! About the same as tent mode, but tent mode has the most airflow so it allows the power draw to go higher.

I was also not too happy they switched to intel, but I was it was ok, perhaps the 4000 you are just efficient it’s ok? I was kinda kicking myself for getting the 2022 flow x16 with rtx3060 version in nov last year, Then they came out with 4060 version after a few months and pretty much same price. Oh well. You should emphasize about stylus, cause for school I really need something I can write homework, extendable , and quiet yet powerful, this is the only one that check all boxes

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 10 місяців тому
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: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/on6TfYWCjWeBt3U.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.

Hey man, fantastic review, thank you! Have you had a chance to check out/test the Asus ProArt Studiobook 2023 model? Particularly curious to hear your thoughts on that screen, since it's OLED. There's a 4060/4070 version, both with the same screen. Also FYI, not sure if you mentioned it somewhere in this review (didn't watch the entirety), but the 4060/4070 versions of the 2023 Flow X16 come with different screens. Cheers!
@JoshCravesTech 7 місяців тому
Yeah I’ve heard the studiobook is super solid and premium. A friend of mine bought it and he loved it. Would love to get my hands on one if I can. But yes I did mention that those two have different screens!

Laptops that are getting more performance while being slim, quiet and having great battery life are the ones I'm excited about. Chunky desktop replacement are not the way to go.
@JoshCravesTech 10 місяців тому
100% agree!
@billychen3349 9 місяців тому
True but true. I have had a lot of different laptops over the years. Laptop performance and laptop durability/heat can never truly balance out. Most slim but powerful laptops tend to overheat or break easily. After three slim high performance laptops ($3-4k each), Ive come back to medium size high performance laptops again.

Is that a lenovo legion pro 7i in the vid? I’m just a casual gamer and I am wondering if this is a good casual gaming laptop?
@TylerNessss 5 місяців тому
What Im also wondering. Are the alternatives offering the 360 degrees panel that you can draw on and use in tablet form? Im looking into all the 360 degrees laptops and ended on a review of the X13, which did go into the drawing and tablet options. But most laptops dont go beyond 16gb of ram and just a shitty GPU. They also tend to be a bit smaller and lighter of course.

Thanks for your very informative review! I bought this thing because I need a 2-in-1 device with 2 M.2 slot, and you see, this is my only option on Earth. It’s a shame that you didn’t test Asus pen though-I pretty need it.
@JoshCravesTech 10 місяців тому
Yeah it’s definitely one-of-a-kind! Yeah I’ve tested the Microsoft Surface pen and it works perfectly! Unfortunately the US configuration doesn’t come with a pen for some reason.
