DAY 01
Asus has been on something of a hot streak when it comes to gaming laptops with mainstream appeal –and from the moment I took the new G16 out of the box it was obvious that streak is only getting hotter.
The aluminium chassis is a touch of Apple-esque class, with all the ventilation holes (of which there are plenty) hidden either on the underside or by the hinge. I spent a good few minutes playing with the customisable LED light strip on the lid, which looks particularly striking on my Platinum White model, but the general branding is as subtle as it gets for a gaming laptop.
