ROG Strix G16, Gaming Laptop Review

ROG Strix G16 is a mouthful, isn’t it?

I’m not a PC gamer by any means, apart from some Mac based Football Manager or CM 97/98 in Dosbox. The last gaming PC I bought would have been back around 1998, it was a pentium something and came with a CRT screen so big I could barely get it through a door.
