Blown Away
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!
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.
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.
