Blown Away
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First and foremost. I am blown away by this laptop. For gaming, editing videos, pictures, and general power using it's top notch. This thing has some serious horsepower. 4070, and a i9 it's suited to take on just about any task. Any game that I have tried on it including; Baldurs Gate III, Remnant 2, Guild Wars 2, it just runs them flawlessly. The screen is amazing. Coming from a 60Hz desktop monitor, this thing is so smooth. I've barely touched my gaming desktop, as the screen seems so choppy in comparison. It's thin. It does have a bit of weight to it, but that doesn't bother me too much. Battery life is fantastic when not gaming. This laptop is easily upgraded with an extra RAM slot and SSD slot. So if you need to expand your storage you can do it. Which I do recommend you do. Now onto some not so great things. When gaming it's LOUD. some reviews have mentioned jet fighter. That's pretty accurate. It's not very bothersome for me but some might find it annoying. It also gets very warm, almost to warm to touch in certain areas. I do have a chill mat on order to remedy this however. Something that I noticed with my mine is, unfortunately upon opening it I noticed a small dent in the top ridge of the screen, and some paint missing from it. I'm not sure how that could have happened in shipping, as the laptop was packaged as it should have been. I had to take the plastic wrap off and everything. So I have no idea where it came from. The only thing I can think of is it happened during it's manufacture. It's not a huge deal, but I do wonder if it took a serious shock while being made. I guess time till tell if it craps out for some reason. Overall this thing is great, especially at the price I snagged it for. If you can catch this on sale definitely pick one up if you're looking for a portable, monster.

Best Buy's Open Box made this worth every penny!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 since about the beginning of April now, and it's nothing short of impressive. The performance is phenomenal, thanks to the Intel 13th Gen Core i9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. Whether it's for gaming, video editing, or any other intensive task, this laptop handles it all effortlessly. Though I would advise further research on this laptop if you're expecting to use any Adobe Cloud Software. This may be my own skill issue and am pending further research on that portion. For gaming purposes however, this laptop has been perfect for me as you can tell from my desktop! The battery in short, is best to view the laptop and battery charger as one whole unit if you're expecting to play any game for more than 2 hours. The 240Hz QHD display is a standout feature, delivering smooth and vibrant visuals that truly enhance the gaming experience. The build quality is solid, and the sleek design makes it look as good as it performs. Now, regarding the cooling system: it's exactly what I expected based on other reviews I've come across. It's not bad, but with a machine this powerful, some heat production is inevitable. No matter what brand of thermal paste you use to replace the stock paste with, a top-tier gaming laptop like this is going to get warm during heavy use. The cooling system does its job effectively, keeping temperatures within acceptable limits without causing any thermal throttling for the specific laptop unit I received (open box, and perfect condition, seriously). In summary, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 is an outstanding gaming laptop that delivers on all fronts. It's powerful, beautifully designed, and provides a top-notch gaming experience. Just be mindful of the heat during extended gaming sessions, which is par for the course with such high-end hardware. I plan on going into further detail on specific specs once I spend some more time with some of its further features when the time comes.

Professional, powerful, and pretty.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After test driving several other laptops, I finally landed on this one, and I couldn't be happier. The design is sharp - the all matte black is very sleek without screaming "gamer" vibes. The display is FANTASTIC for an IPS - bright, colorful, smooth. I tested this display next to my alienware QD_OLED and it seriously rivals it in colors and brightness. Yes the absolute blacks on oled win... but the backlight bleed isnt bad at all on this. Also I would WAY rather have matte coating in this use case (coffe shops, libraries, etc) because glossy oled is very distracting in bright environments imo. Performance: Absolute beast that easily handles any game I throw at it. Now a days with DLSS, I can push enough frames to actually get use from the 240HZ refresh. I keep it on "balanced" 99% of the time which keeps fan noise to a minimum while still maintaining cool temps. Battery : Could be better - but that's expected from the high-end components in this machine. If you game on battery, it will drain QUICK, but for browsing / youtube I can easily get 6-8 hours. Software: ASUS suprisingly didn't load this thing with bloatware (looking at you McAfee..) but ROG Armory Crate is OK for controlling things like fan speed, overclock, battery modes, etc... But if you want something more lightweight and background friendly - look into GHELPER. Thank me later.

Powerful Laptop, Product Description Errors
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a full-time web designer that uses a windows desktop as my main work station. I wanted to have something equal in power to my desktop for work + gaming that I could take mobile and this laptop performance is very impressive for both design and gaming. I run applications like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma, which all run very good. Having the dedicated GPU was a must have for me, which is why I decided to stay with Windows. The ASUS ROG has software built in, so if you need to reserve power on the go, you can switch to utilizing the integrated graphics. This was nice for business travel when I needed more battery time. If you plan on using this laptop for high performance, you will find yourself being plugged in most of the time. Overall, I love this laptop, I had a Macbook Pro before this and found this laptop is on par with performance, if not, better in some areas, thanks to the dedicated GPU. The QHD 240hz display is awesome and the 16:10 aspect ratio is awesome for gaming and entertainment. The fans can get loud during gaming. The webcam works great for those that work remotely. The only reason I didn't give this laptop 5 stars is because the description is not correct in some areas. Be warned, there is no Ethernet port (this would of been awesome since I have really fast internet in Chattanooga). I know some gamers will want that Ethernet port. Though, not terrible, but this listing also states there is only 1 memory port, when in reality there is 2, so you can expand beyond 32GB in RAM. I bought a 32GB stick to find out there was 2 ports when I went to install, so I ended up getting 48GB of RAM, so nice win. Make sure to fix the product description, these errors could leave to high returns for online orders.

Excellent Laptop with a Few Flaws
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just to start off, this thing is amazing. It works well for everyday use along with intensive gaming. After about 2 weeks with the laptop I can only think of 2 minor flaws. First off, the thermals are not the best. It gets really hot and on games like call of duty, you better have a laptop stand otherwise you might burn a hole through your desk (kidding). With the increased temps, this will obviously result in increased fan noise. The fan noise on this laptop is loud to say the least. Luckily, the silent mode on the laptop works really well and totally eliminates almost all fan noise. You may get the occasional flare up here and there but it works really well. I can even run most of the smaller games on silent mode (such as doom) without an issue. When it comes to game like call of duty Warzone however, you will definitely need to tune the laptop fan curves in ASUS armory. Turning it on turbo does keep the temps down but the downside is the unberable fan noise. Honestly, I would take a look at manual mode and just mess around in there to find the perfect settings. Ill provide the setting I use for manual mode but note, I have not fine tuned these settings and they are just a starting point. If you can get past the thermals and the fan noise, this laptop is an amazing deal though I would definitely wait for a sale. I was able to snag mine on blackfriday for $1,500. At that price, this thing is a perfect buy.

Great laptop for 1660 gaming at high frame rates
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an Apple ecosystem guy that owns a Mac Studio and Macbook Air. I bought this laptop for one reason only - to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (COD MW3). COD MW3 is the only game I play. This ROG Zephyrus runs COD at 2560x1660 (native resolution) at around 150 fps using Fidelity FCAS upscaling and Nvidia Frame Generation turned on. Its a great experience playing MW3 on this. I have it synced to my PS5 Dualsense controller via bluetooth. The build quality is rock solid and surprisingly, the trackpad is very responsive. I use the 3 finger gestures that are similar to the Mac's with no problem. The main downsides are the fan gets very loud after a few hours of gaming, the battery gets drained to near zero after about an hour and 15 minutes of playing MW3, and the bluetooth is finicky. My very expensive Bowers & Wilkins bluetooth headphones drop connection suddenly while playing MW3. Tried using my Airpods and had the same problem. Don't know if its a MW3 issue or an issue specific to the laptop. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase of this laptop for my PC gaming needs.

The Versatile Powerhouse
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic hardware. The Asus software is... okay, but honestly caused more issues than benefits. After removing the Asus bloatware and installing some replacement, third-party controls, it's been phenomenal, It's a powerhouse at full turbo mode, and still incredibly formidable even in silent and low power modes. It exceeds all expectations. It also charges quite quickly making a quick refill on the go very possible. The display is nothing short of incredible. Bright and super crisp. Incredible refresh rate and fast response. A couple of additional pros are being super upgrade firendly. Disassembly is easy with a little bit of research or general know-how. RAM swaps are easy, and the extra m.2 slot makes expanding the storage painless. The keyboard also has a great feel. Respectable and satisfying key travel. The keyboard layout is bog standard in terms of feel and comfort, which is high praise, laptops often fall short with subpar layouts and not enough palm room to properly rest your wrists. The trackpad is also great. Large and very smooth. I would recommend this laptop to anybody.
