First off, with the laptop sitting on the desk, the Ryzen 9 processor stabilizes at ~67W of sustained power on the Turbo setting, which translates in frequencies of ~4.1 GHz, temperatures of ~95 C, and scores of ~2230 points. The fans spin at ~40 dB at head-level in this mode, in this test. The CPU runs hot and slightly thermally throttles, but still performs at nearly its maximum capabilities, as you’ll see in the next testing scenarios. 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 That’s the QHD+ 240Hz 3ms panel discussed in this review of the Zephyrus G16, and is still an excellent display, just without zone-dimming and not as bright in HDR as the miniLED one. That screen is more affordable, though, and notably more efficient when using the laptop on battery power.

The first panel is identical to the one offered with the 2022 Zephyrus M16, while the second option is also available in the 2022 Zephyrus DUO 16. For the Flow X16, though, we’re looking at glossy implementations with a touch layer, digitizer, and protective Gorilla Glass on top, while the Zephyrus models are all anti-glare and non-touch. On the other hand, switching over to the Balanced profile translates in the CPU stabilizing at just sub 60W, with temperatures in the low 90s, and quieter fans at sub-35 dB at head level. The CPU ends up scoring around 2150 points in this mode, which is less than 5% lower than on Turbo, thus this Balanced mode is perhaps the ideal profile for this sort of loads on the Flow X16. For the RAM and storage options, the laptop offers two accessible memory DIMMs and two M.2 SSD slots. Our unit shipped with 32 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM in dual-channel and a single mid-level PCIe gen4 Micron 3400 SSD. This is gen4, but only a mid-level performer and not one of the fastest gen4 options available out there.

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. Update: An updated generation of the 2023 Asus ROG Flow x16 series is available in the meantime, with updated specs and display options. Here’s our detailed review of this 2023 Asus ROG Flow X13 update.

Looks like the Flow X16 is going to demand a premium over the existing clamshell ROG Zephyrus designs of this generation, and that’s getting you the convertible form-factor with a touch-enabled mini LED display, paired with a sturdily made chassis, uncompromised inputs and ports, and the excellent balance of performance, cooling and noise levels for a thin-and-light performance ultraportable.There’s a MUX on this design, for uncompromised gaming performance, with support for Nvidia’s Advanced Optimus technology and GSync on the main display.

Furthermore, when opting for a mini LED configuration of this laptop, you must understand that the mini LED panel takes a toll on battery life, so this won’t be able to last as long on a charge as a configuration with an IPS display. Here’s what we got on our review unit in terms of battery life, with the laptop on the Standard GPU mode and the screen set on single-zone lighting mode and a brightness of around 120 nits (~50% brightness).

Getting inside to the components is a fairly simple task. For that, you need to take out the bottom D-panel, held in place by a few Philips screws. There’s no pop-up screw in the corner on this model, though, as on other Asus laptops, so prying the panel open is a bit more difficult and requires you to work your way from the front with a plastic prying tool. If there's one thing that makes the Flow X16 stand out, though, it's the stunning Nebula HDR Display. It adheres to all the specs of our Nebula certified panels: 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, Pantone Validation, high refresh rate, Adaptive-Sync, and a response time of 3 milliseconds or less. But the Nebula HDR panel goes one step further. 512 Mini LED dimming zones and a peak brightness of 1100 nits create stunning contrast and allow vibrant, colorful images pop off the screen, while ROG’s Nebula HDR engine works alongside AUO’s AMLED technology to reduce haloing, thanks in part to a polling rate of 5400Hz. We’ve introduced the Nebula HDR Display­™ before on the Zephyrus Duo 16. But with the Flow X16, the HDR experience is taken to a whole new level, thanks to the versatility afforded by a fully convertible laptop and the mobility that you can only get from a tablet. When you need to curl up on the couch or in bed to catch up on your favorite shows mastered in HDR, the Flow X16 is the perfect companion. Cooler than cool The Turbo mode ramps up the fans to levels of ~45 dB, which is quieter than the Turbo mode on all the other ROG laptops that I’ve tested lately.The Core i9 processor stabilizes at ~90W of sustained power on the Turbo setting, with temperatures of around 94-96 C and scores of around 2850 points. The fans spin at ~45 dB at head level in this mode. As far as the IPS panel option goes, that will be available in some markets with the lower-specced configurations. Here’s what we got in our tests of this panel with single-zone lighting, with an X-Rite i1 Display Pro sensor: The CPU performance is still alright, at 80-85% of Turbo mode, while the GPU is at about 70-75% of what this configuration can do on Turbo. Gaming performance We tested a couple of different types of games on the various available profiles at QHD+ and FHD+ resolution, all with the MUX set on the Ultimate GPU mode.
