    Slim, powerful, and just beautiful!

    For how compact, lightweight, and absolutely stunning the OLED screen is, this is MY perfect gaming laptop! Sure there are other 4070s or even some 4080 gaming laptops in this price range (without oled), but I am very happy with my purchase! The laptop is incredibly fast!!!! It turns on in literally seconds, its astonishing. The gaming performance is perfectly fine for me! I average 100+ fps on gta 5 with everything on ultra. Yes it gets hot but thats expected for so much power in such a compact chassis. I have an rgb $30 amazon cooling pad and that helps a lot! The laptop is just so beautiful and feels very premium. I absolutely cannot stop staring at the OLED screen. I got an absolute steal with open box excellent(thank you best buy!!) so I just cannot be happier! The customizable slash lighting on the back is just beautiful as well! Its not too flashy but an amazing touch! It would have been nicer to have more ram or the ability to upgrade it myself, but thats not a deal killer for what you get. 9 out of 10 I love this thing!

    It wasn't even close

    I needed to buy a gaming laptop as I'll be moving overseas soon and won't be bringing my desktop. I was between getting the Asus Zephyrus G16 and the Lenovo LEGION 7i (Intel i9, 4070, 32gb RAM). I had originally bought the Lenovo because I couldn't find the G16 in-stock. The day after I picked up the Lenovo, my local Best Buy restocked the G16 so I ended up grabbing it as well to compare both computers side by side. It wasn't even close. To be clear, both laptops are excellent and accel at gaming. However, The G16 had several differences that made it stand out. The G16's OLED display was a night vs day difference vs the Lenovo's. The OLED's vibrant colors made the Lenovo's 240Hz monitor appear dull (please note the 7i does come which different monitor options, but not an OLED as far as I know). It didn't stop there. The Lenovo's speakers were surprisingly thin with very little bass. Even by adjusting the audio settings in Nahimic I was unable to get the sound to the quality I wanted. I felt that my iPhone's speaker was actually better than the Lenovo's speakers, which was shocking since the Lenovo has Harmon Kardon speakers. The Lenovo also seemed to absolutely eat through battery. While setting up the Lenovo and performing basic tasks (downloading spotify, steam, etc), I watched the battery life decrease from 100% to 40-45% within an hour or so. I was able to improve this by switching the Lenovo's battery settings to a battery-saving mode. I've been spoiled by my Macbook Air so having a good screen, audio, and decent battery life is important to me. The G16 was an immediate difference. The audio is punchy, full-bodied, with detailed highs. The audio quality rivals or maybe surpasses my Macbook Air, and is essentially the best laptop audio I've ever heard. The aluminum body feels higher quality IMO and the laptop overall feels more premium. The thinness is also very nice. The G16's touchpad is huge as well and allows for more hand positions during use. While the Lenovo's specs are technically better (32gb vs 16gb ram, better i9, etc), the G16's user experience was the deciding factor for me. I do have some criticisms for the G16. The fans are more quick to active vs the Lenovo, and being unable to upgrade the 16gb of RAM in the G16 is a big downer. I primarily use the laptop for gaming and entertainment so this should not affect me too much but somebody who needs more RAM would need to purchase the more expense model of this laptop or consider another laptop such as the Lenovo, which has upgradeable RAM. I also felt that the Lenovo has superior key shortcuts, such as the FN key which revealed shortcuts via lighting upon pressing. The Lenovo also had a FN lock option which is missed in the G16. Overall, the G16 matched my needs and preferences and I ended up returning the Lenovo. I hope this review is helpful for anyone deciding between the two laptops.

    A Great Laptop, if Thermals Weren't Terrible.

    Unfortunately this laptop suffers from heavy thermal throttling. Gpu thermals run around 84-86c (ambient room temp is 72 Fahrenheit), so the card will never reach full power. Cpu thermals are high 90's to 100c with turbo fan mode. Armory Crate isn't too bad, but I also tried G-Helper to see if I could fix the heat issues, but only at a substantial loss to framerate (again, throttling). Fan noise is fine even at higher rpms. Extremely hot to the touch above the keyboard, even when in "sleep" mode. Fans stay on in sleep?? I recommend using hibernate when closing the lid. Another big con is that the mouse track pad is way too big and your hand may periodically touch it, effecting your aim while gaming. 16gigs soldered ram is a non-issue. It has a high clock speed and hasn't had a noticeable effect on performance. (Maybe because it's not the bottleneck). Pros: -Great screen and color accurate, but I am concerned about longevity due to OLED. -Wonderful speakers (With a little tuning in Dolby Access) see attached photo for EQ adjustments. Overall, I would NOT recommend this laptop to anyone, and would return the laptop if I could. It is too expensive for what it has to offer, performance wise.
