Going to keep this review simple, I do my studies on this computer and play my favorite RTS games on the go and it’s been great, yes it can overheat a little but as long as you don’t maximize your graphics, it does prevent it from overheating. Such a great laptop overall.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus 16" FHD 165Hz Gaming Laptop is an exceptional gaming powerhouse that delivers unrivaled performance and stunning visuals. With its sleek design, lightweight build, and impressive cooling system, it is a treat for gamers on the go. The high refresh rate display and powerful hardware ensure smooth gameplay with excellent frame rates, while the robust keyboard and ample connectivity options enhance the overall gaming experience. While it comes with a premium price tag, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus is a top choice for gamers and professionals who demand the best in terms of performance, aesthetics, and portability.
I do wish it'd have come with a bigger M.2 for being over 1000$.

Its pretty slick, doesnt have much weight. Sometimes it can act up with the lag tho, but its not THAT noticeable. Love the keyboard and touchpad feel. Also, the USB is kinda hard to put in (?)

It plays all the games I want but to get 100+ fps in some games you'll have to play on medium settings. The spacebar gets pretty warm but not too bad. It has an amazing screen even though 16 inch is a little on the smaller side for me. Overall thickness is barely larger than the Ethernet port but I wouldn't mind it being a little bit bigger if it meant better cooling. Battery life watching videos is around 2 hours without turning on power saving mode. Overall a good laptop but definitely better to catch it on sale.

Poor backlight bleed and color gamut - Great rest

I got 3 of these and returned them all. Every single one had very poor backlight bleed on the screen edges making it unusable. Also note then compared to the QHD models the color gamut is very poor the reds look orange almost. I highly recommend if you must have this to pay a little more and get the QHD model of whichever you want to get. Also note only the 2022 and later models have windows hello face ID unlock which is invaluable compared to the 2021 fingerprint ID which is terrible.
These models perform amazingly well but have extremely loud fans you must be aware of when gaming as well. You can use silent mode in armoury crate to remedy this but just be aware of it.

Dear Manny,
We certainly understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused.
All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections. Certainly, backlight bleeding is never normal. However, slight glow around the corners is a normal condition called IPS glow which is very visible on high brightness, dark visuals or dark screen or environment. It is normal just like any other brand with the same hardware configuration, for the fan to spin at full-throttle and generates noise louder than normal while the laptop is under heavy load like, while gaming, during the initial WINDOWS setup and WINDOWS Update installation. Also, the fan noise will be louder while antivirus software or malware are running continuously in the background. Please make sure the system was not compromised by viruses or malware by doing a full system scan using an internet security software or application. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle and noise will be louder than normal. It does decreases or normalizes once utilization goes down.
If you need further assistance, please email me at [email protected] 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 at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

QC problem on either BestBuy or ASUS

Great product horrible QC from either BestBuy or ASUS. I bought the laptop brand new and when I'm about to open the package the seal tape is already striped, there were no plastic wraps on the laptop itself and charger and not to mention there are physical scratch and white powder like dirt on the laptop. Extremally disappointed.
As of laptop:
Pros:
Amazing display
Great gaming/video editing experience
Cons:
Fans are VERY loud during Turbo mode
A bit hot
low battery life (about 4hrs no gaming & no high intensity work)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Most things positive about this laptop, very minor and occasional flickering when browsing on chrome. Might be a problem with windows rather than the device itself. Happy with the purchase especially at $1000.

Got this on sale for $999, amazing deal! Unfortunately, my spouse only uses for homework but it’s a very capable gaming laptop. This is made even stronger with technology like DLSS
