Republic of Gamers (ROG) is a well-known name among gamers that is always associated with limitless performance, and the ROG Flow X16 (GV601) is an amazingly thin and light convertible laptop that does not deviate from the values ​​of ROG and provides unmatched quality. performance in games and programs, despite the use of a case with a thickness of only 19.4 mm. At the same time, you’ll be able to fully enjoy all of this performance, as the notebook uses the Nebula HDR display for the first time, a mini LED panel with an extreme brightness of 1100 nits, which offers 512 local dimming zones for an unforgettable HDR gaming experience. .

ROG Flow X16 (GV601) perfectly combines the elements of a flexible laptop that adapts to different situations thanks to the presence of a hinge that allows you to fully open the screen to 360 degrees and implicitly use it in a laptop, tent, tablet or stand mode with the characteristics of a laptop, ready to games thanks to the use of the latest generation components.

ROG’s 16-inch convertible laptop that reacts quickly in any situation

Specs aren’t usually a hot topic, but they’re worth mentioning in the case of the ROG Flow X16 (GV601) as they highlight the level of craftsmanship and persistence required to use the latest generation components, more specifically the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor with 8 cores and 16 parallel streams running at up to 4.9 GHz and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070Ti graphics card, equipped with a physical MUX switch, so you don’t have to choose between performance and autonomy, both with a maximum combined TDP of 125 W possible thanks to the application of Dynamic Boost in the case, which weighs only 2.1 kg and has a thickness of 19.4 mm.

The processor and video card are not the only components that affect the gameplay, so ASUS engineers used the fastest DDR5 memory, which operates at a high frequency of 4800 MHz and can be configured up to 64 GB, as well as fast SSDs from the PCI-E Gen Generation 4.0 with a capacity of up to 2 TB, which provides users with a second free M.2 slot, which can optionally be filled with another NVMe drive.

ROG Intelligent Cooling, a cooling system that works quietly

The only solution to maintain proper temperatures without jeopardizing the durability of the components was a complete overhaul of the ROG Intelligent Cooling cooling system, which was rethought to be able to present a third fan in the Frost Force configuration, as well as a new updated Pulsar. radiator with 330 very thin copper plates, i.e. an impossible thickness of only 0.1 mm.

Tests have shown that the third fan reduces the temperature of the video card by about 7 degrees, thereby increasing the maximum GPU overclocking frequency. The use of Thermal Grizzly liquid metal thermal compound on the processor allowed to reduce its temperature by 10 degrees, which immediately led to an increase in performance when the laptop is working at the limit.

Several dust filters have been attached to the intakes to keep the cooling system components clean, especially the Arc Flow fans with 84 curved blades that are only 0.2mm thick towards the tip, which can automatically switch to 0dB ambient cooling mode when time is absolutely silent. when programs that require a lot of computing power are not running on the laptop.

Nebula HDR Display: The ultimate HDR experience

The Nebula HDR Display screen with a diagonal of 16 inches and an aspect ratio of 16:10 is the most important component of the laptop. AMLED technology, used for the first time, gives the mini LED panel with QHD resolution a response time of just 3ms, an image refresh rate of 165Hz in italics and a maximum brightness that rivals the best gaming monitors – 1100 nits – and works together with 512 local dimming zones to display an image with high contrast – 100,000:1. All of these features are Nebula HDR Display VESA DisplayHDR 1000 and Dolby Vision certified.

Color accuracy hasn’t been neglected either: the Nebula HDR display is capable of flawlessly displaying the entire DCI-P3 color spectrum currently used in cinema, with each model being PANTONE calibrated at the factory. And since we’re talking about a 360-degree convertible laptop, the screen can also be controlled very easily by touch, and it’s protected for a long life by a durable layer of Gorilla Glass 3 that prevents surface scratches.

The ROG Flow X16 (GV601) gaming laptop can be ordered directly from the ROG Romania online store.

Finally, we should mention the launch of the “Your Opinion Matters” campaign, in which you can also register by posting a short review of the use of your new ASUS laptop on any of the participating platforms, and in return you will receive the warranty on the product you just purchased continues for free for one year.
