In our Asus ROG Flow X16 review, we love its sleek, convertible form factor, drop dead gorgeous display and strong performance. We also like its stellar battery life which lasted 7 hours in our Laptop Mag Battery test.
In our lab's Geekbench 5.4 overall performance test, the Asus ROG Flow X16 produces an impressive Geekbench 5.4 score of 9,570. Video editors will appreciate its performance. This powerhouse transcoded a 4K video to 1080p in 5 minutes and 48 seconds on our HandBrake benchmark, which sped past the category average (6:38).
Unlike many big screen gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Flow X16’s battery life is pretty good. In our testing, it managed to hit 7 hours and 5 minutes in our non-gaming Battery Informant testing — beating out the Alienware m17 R5 (6:07) and annihilating the MSI Vector GP76 (2:45).
Now $500 off, the Asus ROG Flow X16 is worth considering if you're in the market for a poweful laptop for gaming and video editing.
