日本ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713P (2023) review – everything could be perfect if it isn’t for one thing
When we saw the first 16-inch and 18-inch ROG Strix laptops we really didn’t expect the company to still make a 17-inch version. Well, ASUS did, and it is called the ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713P (2023).
It is based on an AMD chipset and features the brand-new Zen 4 processors. They are built on the 4nm architecture, and we expect Team Red to finally put up some competition for Intel, after two years of mixed results.
This might be a “make it, or break it” moment for ASUS (and for AMD to be honest), but when you make an entire army of gaming laptops, you can afford to experiment, can’t you?
And what brand to try something new other than ASUS? The company that made gaming convertibles, tablets, and foldable business notebooks. This particular example looks like a piece of cake.
Also, it uses a year-old design, paired with a quite decent, but not so uncommon display – up to a 1440p 240Hz IPS unit.

What’s in the box?
Inside the packaging, you will see some manuals, as well as a 280W power adapter.
I would say that the biggest “Con” is that it doesn’t come with USB4 or even Thunderbolt-4. These cannot be easily installed as an upgrade. But also there is the fact that they’re trying to pass this off as a Mid Tier gaming rig but it’s actually only a little better than the RTX4060 which has the same amount of VRAM for less money (8gb). You should NOT buy a gaming computer with less than 12GB of VRAM today. Honestly if you can’t afford the 4080 then you’d do fine with a 4060.
