Released in May 2022, the original ASUS ROG Flow X16 came first. This laptop is just as capable as the newer edition and now comes at a slightly lower price point too. It can do pretty much all the same things as the model above, but maybe not as fast or efficient with an ever so slightly downgraded GPU.
As for the price, this laptop is much more affordable than its 2023 replacement model, but the downside is it can be tricky to find now that the spotlight has been cast on another device. The best place to find the 2022 ASUS ROG Flow X16 is on Amazon by looking for Ryzen 9 in the description, as the latest model is Intel i9 instead. You can also tell by the GPU whether it's a 3060 or a 4060.
In our ASUS ROG Flow X16 review, we found that the mini-LED screen stole the show, and had excellent all-round performance with a reliable battery life. If you're looking for a laptop that can do it all for a mid-tier price then this is the one. Although, if you want only the absolute best from Asus then consider the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED which is now our reviews editor's favourite laptop.
See our clever deals widget below to keep tabs on the best ASUS ROG Flow X16 deals, for both the original and new 2023 models. Remember that prices also vary depending on the spec that you choose, so for a more affordable option you'll want the minimum choice of RAM, storage, and processor.
What's the difference between the Asus ROG Flow X16 2022 and 2023 editions?
Aside from the processor and GPU upgrade, there are a few other minor differences that make the 2023 model better than the original. These include improved brightness levels and screen upgrades with a 240Hz refresh rate versus 165 Hz on the 2022 model.
The 2023 edition also boasts a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 4, plus a 2MPx FHD IR webcam offering better webcam recording quality. The latest model is equipped with an ambient light sensor, and the original has a slight advantage in being less heavy and more affordable.
