ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 16" OLED QHD 240Hz Gaming Laptop - Copilot+ PC - AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX - 32GB RAM - NVIDIA RTX 4070 - 2TB - Platinum White

As a previous owner of a Macbook Pro M1, this laptop makes switching no problems at at all. The performance this laptop offers is immense even when running on battery alone. The Oled screen makes enjoying watching videos amazing with accurate black and vibrant colors, with barely any glare from light showing. When it comes to gaming the colors look amazing and the 4070 gpu performs well. Fan noise on this laptop can get bit loud but only when pushing heavy immense software, when on battery or plug in it is silent. The weight of the laptop weighs less than macbook pro making it easier to carry around to college including with the battery brick. Even the laptop is under heavy load, keyboard remains cold to the touch only above the keyboard it builds up heat but there is no need to touch there. Speakers is another amazing part of this laptop. This G16 comes with front facing speakers that contain good amount of bass for songs and can get decently loud that rivals the macbook pro, making watching shows pleasing. Trackpad is large and glossy which makes transitioning easy and it is satisfying to use. Of course battery life is not as long compared to macbook but for a windows laptop is last pretty long throughout normal application usage with battery safety on. Only issue that can be for others users is that the ram is soldered making it hard to choose between this model or another with less ram with price difference. I can assure you if you run a lot of applications at once and gaming, this laptop runs perfectly smooth I have no regrets. Another thing is the second slot for storage is limited to PCIe Gen 4x2 speed if you plan adding more storage. If you are a macbook user thinking about transitioning to windows laptop, this one is perfect. Pros - Oled 240Hz Screen - 32Gb Ram - 4070 GPU - Satisfying keyboard - Great quality speakers Cons - Soldered Ram - Second ssd slot limited speed

I recently got this laptop as an open-box item. I have to say that the performance is great, although it has frozen on me twice, and I had to turn it off. I’m not sure if this has something to do with an update, but other than that, the battery life is excellent. Mine also has coil whine, which can only be heard while charging. Could be annoying for some people, but definitely something to be aware of if you’re planning on buying this laptop.

I got this during the open box sale back in Jan (got mine for $1600 exellcent condition open box). Unit was flawless and warranty started in Dec '25. I have a older gaming rig with ryzen CPU and amd 5700XT card that's struggling at 1440p gaming (espeically with modern games). I bought this as both a portable unit (I work from home so this doubles up in my home office) and to replace my primary rig in future. In short, this is the ONLY windows laptop that comes close to a Macbook (which sucks for gaming). The build quality, audio speakers, keyboard and the bright OLED display are as close to a Mac u can get out of a windows laptop. Everything is premium on this. I opted for the amd cpu with 32GB ram and rtx 4070 and 1440p gaming is a breeze. I literally spend 200 hours on Elden Ring (with HDR mode) and game looked fantastic. I beat the whole game on this laptop and it was a joy. No crashes, native res, all high settings and no lag whatsoever. Another excellent feature is the fact u can utlize the AMD gfx for gaming on battery (low settings but battery lasts for hours). I have some long international flights coming up this summer and I'll be bringing this laptop with me on the plane. The speakers (and Dolby settings) are the best I've heard on a laptop. Lastly, the OLED screen is fantastic. This is my 1st laptop with a OLED screen and I'll never go back to a non OLED laptop. Everything just pops on this laptop. Watch out for the open box sale and you'll save over $500 vs retail.
