Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this laptop. It runs everything well enough for me. Obviously it runs better when it's plugged in and it can get pretty hot but it hasn't overheated for me yet. The fans can get pretty loud too but I just turn up the game volume or wear headphones if it's annoying. One example for fps: I've been playing Crimson Desert on it and I lowered the resolution slightly because it's barely noticeable on this screen size and it helps a lot with fps, with ultra settings I've been getting 65 - 75fps. The OLED screen is beautiful as well and completely worth any extra cost there might be. The battery life is great for light gaming and watching videos. I probably missed a lot of talking points but overall I love this laptop and I don't regret my decision to buy this one at all.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect balance between power, portability, and premium design After spending a lot of time comparing gaming laptops, I finally decided on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. The first thing that stands out is the build quality. The aluminum chassis feels incredibly premium, and it’s surprisingly thin and lightweight for a laptop with this level of performance. It looks professional enough for work or school but has all the power you’d expect from a high-end gaming machine. The OLED display is absolutely stunning. Colors are vibrant, blacks are truly deep, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes everything feel incredibly smooth, whether I’m gaming, watching movies, or just browsing. It’s one of the best laptop screens I’ve ever used. Performance has been outstanding. Games run smoothly with excellent frame rates, and multitasking is effortless. I also use it for productivity, photo editing, and other demanding applications, and it handles everything without slowing down. The keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, the trackpad is large and responsive, and the speakers are surprisingly good with rich, clear sound. Battery life is also better than I expected for a powerful gaming laptop, especially during everyday tasks. The cooling system deserves credit as well. Under heavy gaming it does get warm, which is expected, but it maintains excellent performance without excessive throttling. If I had to mention one small downside, it’s that the fans become noticeable during demanding games, but that’s a very reasonable tradeoff considering the amount of performance packed into such a slim chassis. Overall, the Zephyrus G16 is one of the most complete laptops I’ve ever owned. It delivers flagship gaming performance while remaining portable, elegant, and versatile enough for everyday use. Whether you’re a gamer, creator, student, or professional, I highly recommend it. It’s an investment that’s absolutely worth it.

The laptop is good overall. I'll start with the positives before getting into the downsides. The biggest strengths are the components. The RTX 5070 Laptop GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 are very powerful and can handle virtually any modern game at normal settings. You may have to make some compromises at max settings and 1600p in the most demanding titles, but gaming performance is still outstanding. I've primarily used this laptop for gaming so far, and it has exceeded my expectations. I also plan to try 3D art in the future, although I can't yet speak on how it performs under heavy professional workloads. The 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display is phenomenal. The perfect blacks, vibrant colors, and smooth refresh rate make everything look fantastic. It's genuinely one of the highlights of the laptop. Another major advantage is portability. Despite its powerful hardware and larger screen, it's surprisingly lightweight and easy to carry around. Throughout high school, I used a school laptop that weighed around four pounds and simply got the job done. This laptop weighs about the same while being significantly larger and better in virtually every aspect. I also really like the design and build quality. The rear LED lighting, color scheme, and materials give it a premium feel. It hits a nice middle ground in the lineup—more powerful than the lower-end models without reaching the extremely high prices of the 5080 or 5090 versions. As for the negatives, I've seen complaints about heat, fan noise, the lack of a numeric keypad, and the RAM configuration. Personally, I don't miss having a numeric keypad, but whether that's a drawback depends entirely on your needs. The lack of upgradeable RAM is definitely disappointing. In an era where 32GB is increasingly becoming the ideal amount for many users, being limited to soldered memory feels like a poor design choice. While 16GB is still sufficient for gaming and everyday use, future applications and games will only become more demanding, so the inability to upgrade hurts the laptop's long-term value. Regarding thermals and fan noise, I don't think the heat is nearly as bad as some people claim. The laptop does develop noticeable hot spots under heavy loads, but the palm rest area remains comfortable during use, at least in my experience. If you're particularly sensitive to heat, though, this may not be the laptop for you. Thin, lightweight, premium laptops inevitably involve trade-offs, and one of those trade-offs is increased heat and fan noise compared to thicker machines. The fans are noticeable, but I don't find them excessively loud, especially when using Performance mode. Turbo mode is noticeably louder, however. One issue I did experience is that after about six to seven months, the left speaker developed problems. It hasn't completely failed, but it cuts out or distorts at higher volumes. I'm not sure how common this issue is among these laptops, but it's worth mentioning. It's definitely disappointing considering the price and premium positioning of the device. Overall, this laptop isn't perfect, but it's very good. I really like it, and it has been one of the better purchases I've made. It has also raised my standards for what I expect from a laptop. If you're considering buying one, I'd absolutely recommend it, as long as you're willing to accept the compromises that come with a thin, lightweight gaming laptop. Ultimately, if you've found competing models that appeal to you more, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which trade-offs matter most.

Finally found the perfect hybrid! I needed something light enough for my daily commute but powerful enough to run Cyberpunk on high settings, and this hits the spot. It weighs next to nothing in my backpack, yet the build quality feels premium and sturdy. The OLED screen is stunning for both design work and gaming. It does get a bit warm under heavy load, but considering the insane performance-to-size ratio, it’s a beast. Best tech investment I've made this year!

I always love the zephyrus series but this is really good. It's very Portable and light but still keeps power and performance going. The OLED screen is great from any angle. I can pretty much run any game no issues I use it for work and home. This laptop is great

This laptop is a all in one!!! Movie theater check, gaming rig check, work on the go check, music on the go check! Anything you can think of this laptop has it all! Any use scenario this is it! Ive used all types of programs revit, photoshop, lightroom, after effects, it runs them all. I can run max settings on most games. Its light weight. Premium design. Speakers and screen are insanely good. Some cons would be its bayter life but its normal as its a powerful screen. And the terabyte memory fills fast if you are a gamer. But all you need is a portable drive and you are set.

Smooth 240hz refresh rate True black OLED quality Slim and very portable Decent battery life for a gaming laptop

This laptop is actually really worth it. Although the RAM is only 16GB I personally have not found any fps drops or issues while gaming triple A titles. The only thing that makes you take into consideration is that this laptop has 8GB VRAM. But besides that this laptop is a beast and is super enjoyable to use for daily use. I would totally recommend this laptop if you’re looking for a lower budget laptop.

Perfect for my needs, beautiful crisp OLED display, good battery life for a powerful laptop.

Great laptop plays anything I throw at it and looks great doing it. Gets kinda hot but that’s every laptop I’ve ever had so

The 16gb ram version is a little bit hard to work with but it has an i9 and the display is great.

Very good quality, lightweight and easy to carry around. Performs very well with gaming, coding and modeling. Screen is very clean and bright. Speakers sound good.

I’ve had my ROG Zephyrus for about a year now, and I use it every single day. I’ve also been gaming on it almost every day, and it has held up really well. The build quality is great, the performance is excellent, and everything still feels smooth after a full year of heavy use. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful laptop that can handle everyday use and gaming.

Has the best intel utra 9 processor, a great midrange graphics card, and decent amount of ram. Performance is awesome!

The fans can get pretty loud but otherwise no issues. Loads fast and doesn't get too warm

I think the 1600p resolution and 240Hz refresh rate make an incredible difference in most games. The OLED display, in particular, is a huge game-changer. With DLSS technology constantly improving, I actually think the Zephyrus is a better choice than the Strix. You might experience some FPS issues in newer, more graphically demanding games, but with a few tweaks to the settings and AI-powered upscaling, you can easily improve performance. I definitely recommend this laptop!

The laptop was a really good deal. I think the Asus ROG Zephyrus line is stupid expensive at this moment. So getting this laptop for $1699 was quite the steal. It would have a five star if it was allocated with 32gb. It does however play the games I like to play, and run the programs I like to run, so it is good enough. The laptop itself is a very thin an sleek design. The engineering of this device is subperb! Other than the lack understanding that 32gb should be the standard for memory when it comes to laptops at a price point over $1500, this laptop is a very nice addition to my tech.

This product is very slim and although it is a little big it still does the job, it can be very quiet when doing work and also when gaming it doesn’t overheat like crazy

Definitely a good gaming laptop. Doesn’t get as hot as others but still needs good ventilation if actually using it on your lap. Kind of overpriced- will shut down and leave your work unsaved if it gets too hot or has to work too hard. NVIDIA GPU performance options are helpful for when CPU is in overload. I wish got the 32G instead of the 16G to save the trouble of changing settings to save memory.

Laptop is amazing, and I got a awesome deal for a open box. Over 1,000 off! Screen resolution and quality is awesome. Keyboard, sound everything. This is my first gaming laptop most of the time I build my own desktop but this is the best portable gaming machine I've seen and it's up there with my desktops..
