Customers commend the ROG Zephyrus M16 for its impressive performance, stunning display, and crisp graphics. However, some users report experiencing significant fan noise and heat generation, particularly during gaming. Concerns were also raised regarding battery life and the keyboard's design. While the lightweight design is appreciated, potential buyers should consider these trade-offs.

    Good performance but has it's quirks

    Great performance, especially in games, but several things to note. The fans fire up like a jet engine, the laptop runs pretty hot (70-83 C) on normal tasks if you're not on turbo mode and its accompanying jet engine fans, and quality control tends to be a major issue.

    Solid performance at a decent price. My only complaint is the battery life.

    This is the perfect machine for me! The pricing was pretty good as well. Can run Microsoft flight simulator at 4k (external monitor) with no problems at all! Overall, awesome device, well worth the bucks… however one little thing. I with Asus didn’t have the 8GB of memory embedded into the motherboard. If you’re planning on upgrading your RAM, you may want to rethink buying this laptop. Because 8 GB is on-board and the other 8GB is on memory slot… but there’s no extra memory slot. So, if you’re want to upgrade RAM, either need go get 16GB (1) or 32GB(1)… you get the idea.

    Awesome gaming laptop. Graphics are great. Not sure about the batter life on it. I always have it plugged in. Used wifi to play COD. No lagging. Smooth game play

    Gaming Beast on the go!

    Great computer/mobile gaming beast! The computer can basically handle any new game on the market without even breaking a sweat. If you are looking for a computer to handle day to day computing needs as well as all the most advanced games, look no further. Plays everything I have thrown at it with no issues. Windows 11 is a little new to get used too but other than that I don't have any negatives. If you were to force me to pick one, it would be it gets hot, but I use an external stand with fans so doesn't bother me much. Would highly recommend it!

    Solid Laptop All Things Considered

    Unique circumstances led to this laptop. This was bought as a graduation gift but was spurred on by a critical failure in my previous laptop. I can't say I would 100% repurchase it if it was my own money and a more relaxed purchasing process. But the hardware is more than adequate, and most of my minor qualms could be attributed to most mid-high gaming laptops: battery, fan, and unnecessary lights.

    Bought this to replace my previous Gaming laptop ( ASUS VivoBook Pro Thin & Light 17" i7-8550U) This was a very nice upgrade! The laptop itself is just GREAT!!! 12th Gen I9, RTX3060Ti and a great screen. I just love this machine! I replaced the internal ram module with a 32GB module. Just a few screws and easy replacement. I have found the internal NVidia graphics to give a very nice gaming experience. The RTX 3070 Ti renders all the games I play very well! No Lag or artifacts! If you buy this laptop, I doubt you will regret it!

    Solid gaming laptop for vacation.

    Will this replace your main computer? No. Is it great for gaming while on Vacation? Sure. Not bad for a gaming laptop. Can get toasty under a heavy load. Need to enable turbo or gaming mode in the armory crate before gaming, or else you'll be capped at 60 fps. Get an average of 100+ on overwatch and lost ark. My concerns are like other owners, the exhaust vents point up at the screen. Unsure what the long-term impact will be for the screen with all the heat dumps.

    Love this laptop, I didn’t have any dead pixels. But when it’s in turbo mode…. Expect to turn the AC on and wear headphone. Would buy again. Runs blender, warzone, and rocket league without a hitch.

    I needed a new laptop that could handle working in Photoshop AND that as my needs changed, I could expand the memory in it too. I'm not a 'Gamer' but when I saw this on sale at the store, it fit the bill for what I needed. Set up is critical for Photoshop and this is fairly easy with this computer and there is power to spare. Glad I purchased it.

    She hot and she's loud! Great screen but performance suffers from thermal throttling i9 and the 3070 was also burning up. 100+c while gaming on both . Fans are louds and high pitched! I returned for MSI cyborg and it's performing better than this at 8gb ram!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
