On paper at least the ROG STRIX G16 looks like one of the best laptops in 2023 due to its specs and price. But there's a lot you need to know about this device before you buy it since the RTX 4070 laptop GPU has some serious limitations even though the Intel 13th gen CPU is one of the fastest laptop processor you can buy.
