    Great first gaming laptop. Comparing to console im very happy I made the change. The customizing for each game is over the top. More than enough storage I have 5 AAA games on the laptop. The interface is easy to use. The big touchpad is more than enough. In turbo mode it isn’t terribly loud. Twice as quiet as I was expecting. I had a console that would wake the wife up when late night gaming. The wife only woke up once cause the screen was to bright. Which is saying something! 4070 graphic card is amazing. The 240hz screen makes gaming super smooth. 16 inch screen still fits in my backpack, but is so immersive when playing Games. 16GB is more than enough for playing games I would recommend this to any one very good bang for the buck.

    Zephyrus G16: A Top-Tier Choice for Gamers in 2025

    |

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is a seriously impressive gaming laptop. The 16" OLED display is the standout feature—colors look amazing, the contrast is sharp, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes everything from competitive shooters to casual games feel incredibly smooth. Performance is strong across the board. The Intel Ultra 9 and RTX 4070 combo handles modern titles with no problem, even on higher settings. Multitasking is quick thanks to the 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and the 1TB SSD gives plenty of fast storage for games and files. The Eclipse Gray design looks clean and premium, and the laptop is surprisingly lightweight for the power it packs. It stays reasonably cool under load, though you’ll definitely hear the fans during more intense sessions. Battery life is average for a gaming machine—fine for light use but not the selling point. Overall, the Zephyrus G16 is a great choice if you want excellent performance, a top-tier display, and a sleek, portable build. It’s a solid upgrade for gaming, content creation, or everyday use.

    So far loving it--runs great, surprisingly light, and doesn't get too hot (though I did buy a cooling mat after reading others' reviews that it could run hot). Been playing a wide range of games to test it--played Baldur's Gate 3 on it for about an hour and a half last weekend and didn't have any framerate drops or performance issues. The touchpad is quite sensitive which I don't like, but I also use a mouse most of the time if I can. Definitely think I'll get my money's worth for this one!

    Powerful, sleek looking gaming laptop. Initially used for a class to write large documents and create power points, it has a beautiful oled screen so i was worried about screen burn in with the stagnant text and graphics for that sort of productivity, but nope, screen showed a little bit but i suppose with newer oleds it leaves after a moment, always bounces back. Now used for gaming on the go, run’s everything easily and without needing to lower graphics. It got fairly hot and i do wish it had better cooling technology but that’s my only complaint. I resolved the issue by buying a cooling pad. I’d probably buy the same laptop again if i went back in time.

    Poor Quality Control

    The cooling is terrible and regularly reaches 85°C on max fan speed just watching videos with turbo mode. Can't run games I've played on laptops with worse specs and freezes frequently. The laptop is too thin and overheats easily with poor thermal paste. The OLED display is good and it has decent battery life.

      Dear Noah,


      Thank you for reaching out.


      We do understand your disappointment with the quality of this laptop and concern about thermal issues. It is normal that excessive heat is generated while the laptop is under heavy load. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full throttle. Please ensure the air ventilation is free from obstructions to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. Additionally, ensure Windows, drivers, BIOS and games are up to date to ensure Windows power management is updated and optimized. Also, tweak your peformance mode settings inside the Armoury Crate utility. Furthermore, check in the Task Manager for resource-hungry applications, services or processes that are running in the background and disable them if not being used. Running these applications simultaneously will certainly spike the temperature and will cause an auto-reboot, or an auto restart. The heat or temperature does decrease or normalize once system resource utilization goes down. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.


      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

    Nice display, fiddly setup, runs super hot

    Nice laptop, beautiful screen, just runs way too hot for me. Running Core Temp after I started seeing jerkiness in Diablo 4, all cores hitting 95C with throttling; running Civ 6 fans would spin up and down constantly and same heat issues, sitting on a wood table or lap desk. I could have bought a cooling pad but at $1600 I wasn't thrilled with this. Also I wasn't crazy about all the fiddling trying to get gsync and screen settings right with all the automatic switching between onboard and discrete graphics even when plugged in. YMMV but this one wasn't for me however if you don't mind all that and want to get a cooling pad, it does have a great display I just don't know if it is taking full advantage of that GPU.

    This laptop is a beast but with thinner design I wont expect it keeping cool. G helper is a good tool for any Zephyrus user because AC of Asus gonna heat up your laptop even I dont do anything. The oled screen is beautiful with 240hz display and last longer battery is what I want.

    It's a great device for users who want a portable device with some power. However it requires some tinkering in order for it to be worth while. I would recommend users of this device to get Quick CPU and adjust the Frequency scaling and Turbo boost amounts when in DC mode. I found that the computer stuttered when doing basic task. Put those numbers 20% and 60% respectively, made the microstutters go away. Also, I can't say it's an amazing computer because of ASUS's decision to make the RAM soldered on which means there is no upgrade path from 16 gigs. While I don't think that I would need 32 gigs while working on this device since I have a desktop for heavy duty work, not being able to upgrade this computer in the future is disappointing.

    So this laptop is insane, amazing built quality, amazing screen but it has a huge and I mean a huge flaw: not having upgradeable ram! I loved this device but had to return it as I use over 10 chrome tabs which causes this to run out of ram, bought this and the g14 as I always keep a clone of the 16 inch for work purposes. ended up with the Alienware - m16 R2 QHD+ 240Hz Gaming Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD - Dark Metallic Moon and its way bigger than this but it has upgradeable ram, the g14 had the same issue, for the 14 inch I got the razer blade 14 and both are amazing.

    Runs amazing, super fast and great for any type of work you wanna do, whether that be gaming or data analysis, or research, or really anything you throw at it this will take it like a champ!! It does not overheat ever! Other than the razorblade 16, which overheats like crazy and can never run up to its full potential, this right here is the laptop for you!
