The build quality on this laptop is amazing. It is very portable for or a 16 inch laptop and can fit into any backpack. It is thin and lightweight but increadibly powerful. The Oled screen is very responsive and vivid with perfect blacks. The only downside of this laptop is the battery health. It runs down quickly and also gets loud under heavy load but quiet in light use. The keyboard his very bright and comfortable but mine has a defect on one key. It doesnt match the rgb with the other keys. The huge glass mouse is also very good and responsive. The 16 inch screen is worth the extra money so might as well. I would definitely recommend.

I've been using the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 for a bit now, and I'm seriously impressed. That 16-inch OLED screen with the 2.5K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate is just next-level for gaming; the visuals are so vibrant and fluid. Performance-wise, it's a powerhouse - the Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, and RTX 5070Ti handle everything without breaking a sweat. And the 2TB SSD is fantastic for all my games and files. The Platinum White color is a nice touch too. Only one minor issue; it tends to get hot fast. Most laptops do though, but I'm planning to invest in a cooling pad to help mitigate with this issue. Super happy with this purchase.

I purchased the 5070ti version and this has been a great work computer and gaming machine. I’ve played 10+ hours of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Ghost of Tsushima on this laptop with everything on Ultra, it runs these games just as good if not better than my desktop with a 4090 in it. The fans do kick out some heat so if you plan on gaming with it in your lap I suggest buying a $20 mesh laptop stand to keep the laptop cool and your lap from getting hot. Best things about this is the ability to play high end games with great graphics, the oled screen is amazing and the speakers really surprised me for how well rounded they are for a laptop. Definitely recommend! Make sure you update all of your graphics drivers and asus drivers, I built my own desktop so I may have a little more experience keeping these things to date. I can understand why some may be frustrated on why the laptop may not perform to their standard right out of the box, just make sure you have all your drivers from asus, nvidia and Microsoft up to date.

I'm not entirely sure why anyone is rating this computer 5 stars. Is it a "good" laptop? yes... Is it a high-end gaming laptop? No. The stats of this computer seem great...but if I can't even play basic games on ultra settings, and still drop frames on high settings... I don't see the point. I also edit 4k videos and photography. This computer at times struggled to keep up with editing and would overheat constantly. Mind you, the laptop is elevated AND on a cooling/ventilation pad. The Pros: The screen is nice, sharp, bright OLED. It's a nice portable sized laptop that has a good build and look to it. Very impressive looking at first glance. The speakers are incredible for a laptop. The Cons: Overheats very easily. They keyboard feels small, and who the heck gets rid of their right ctrl button?! GPU/CPU can't keep up with modern programs/games. Price is definitely not worth what you get. (I may be mistaken on this and will correct the review if I find out otherwise) RAM cannot be upgraded. Finally, I think if this laptop was priced under $2k I would probably recommend it more, but as of now I'm going to return it for a better computer.

The laptop words perfectly and runs all of my games smoothly with high graphics. One small issue is that it does run hot and the fans are a bit loud. I found that using a cooling pad helps. On one game I was able to knock down my GPU temperature by 10C.

The 240Hz OLED screen is the most beautiful display I have ever seen on a laptop. The colors are incredibly vibrant, and the smoothness is next-level. Combined with the insane power of the Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5070Ti, this laptop handles everything flawlessly. The Platinum White design is just stunning. It's perfect!

This laptop is extremely powerful, high quality, and performs very well overall. However, the model I received had an issue with the power button, and the battery life wasn’t great for my needs. Since I don’t do any gaming, the hardware ended up being more than I actually needed. I switched to the Zenbook and have been getting similar performance for the type of work I do, with much better portability and battery life. Still a fantastic laptop overall, just not the best fit for my use case.

So far so good on this one. Very fast response and boot up, which I really appreciate. I am not a gamer, but use this for audio/music/voice manipulation, graphic creations, keeping up with my husbands music website/music registration/publication and my Etsy store with everything that goes along with that. Soooo, I needed something that could handle several things at once. This one meets that requirement - so far. I really do not have any complaints with the product at this point.

I’ve been very happy with the Zephyrus G16. I wanted something powerful enough for gaming and productivity without having to carry around a huge, bulky gaming laptop, and this has been a great balance. The OLED display is easily one of the highlights. It looks fantastic, gets plenty bright, and the colors and contrast are noticeably better than a typical laptop display. The RTX 5070 Ti has also handled everything I’ve thrown at it very well. Games run great at high settings, and the laptop has more than enough performance for everyday productivity and heavier workloads. I was initially a little concerned about temperatures because of how thin the laptop is, but after testing it pretty extensively, the performance and thermals have been solid for a laptop this powerful. The fans can definitely get loud when running in Turbo mode, but that’s expected when pushing this much hardware in a thin chassis. For lighter use, it can be surprisingly quiet. I also really like the overall build quality and design. It feels much more premium and understated than most gaming laptops, and the Platinum White/Silver finish looks great in person. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the G16. If you want a laptop that combines a great OLED screen, strong gaming performance, premium build quality, and portability without looking like a traditional gaming laptop, I highly recommend it.

I bought the G16 2025 version when the G16 2026 version was released. The build quality is solid. 32 GB of memory and 2 TB of storage are more than enough for the next 4 or 5 years. The white color is gorgeous. I bought it for $ 2,599. The G16 2026 version has a much better screen, better cooling, and much better battery life thanks to the new Intel processor, but it costs $3399 with only 16 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage. The 2025 version has better value

Overall, excellent laptop. Only complaint is that the charcoal grey variant gets discounted and this one does not. Its very sleek and runs very fast! But annoyed that this model does not go on sale
