Customer Ratings & Reviews

The build quality on this laptop is top notch, unlike any other gaming laptop. Super fast responsive, excellent for everyday or high demanding games like RE9 I was able to play it on 1440p running over 100 FPS. Only downside is the fans get really loud and gets hot very quickly, so I do recommend picking up a high-end cooling fan to place underneath the laptop. But other than that I would recommend picking this up if you are considering getting a gaming laptop.

The overall reliability of it is solid, and for the price I paid given this current market it's hard to argue against it. Unfortunately the 8GB of VRAM makes any prospect of hooking this up to a 4k display and gaming rather unlikely. The laptop's actual display is gorgeous though. Speakers sound good. Wish they could've went a little higher with a 2TB storage, or at the least 32 GB of ram to make it a true productivity piece. The ram is also soldered so no upgrading that. All and all, not bad, but I wouldn't spend full price for it given the specs.

This laptop does it all: entertainment, productivity, and gaming. The screen is so beautiful. I am truly impressed by it and love seeing everything through this screen. I am a little concerned about the 16GB of RAM and the sort of dismayed by the 5070's 8GB of VRAM, but it seemed to handle whatever I needed it for, so far. I do think the trackpad is a bit too big but it feels so nice. The keyboard is pretty comfortable but I wish this had per-key RGB, especially for how expensive this laptop is. The battery life on this is FANTASTIC. I was a bit doubtful because I believed in the talk that Intel configurations had horrible battery life compared to the AMD configurations. However, that was not the case and even the Intel configuration could last me up to 7hrs of mixed use (streaming videos and doing office work). I ended taking this back because there was a really great deal on the RTX 5080 + 64GB configuration that I couldn't let pass. However, I think even this configuration is going to be very enjoyable for most of the consumers.

ive been playing around with with Asus ROG latest Zephyrus G16 and man this is such an amazing beautiful beast of a laptop. with performance with the latest RTX 5070 and intel Core ultra 9. this hands down of the best or prob your best laptop you will ever own. the ability to play game on this beautiful of OLED panel at 2560x1600 this will make other people to look for after seeing this beast of a gaming laptop in action. DEVICE: Rog does not miss when it comes to packaging their laptop, but then again if youre paying $2000 for a brand new high end laptop you want to have atleast a great unboxing experience, im glad to say is thats what you will get with this laptop, the unboxing of the device is simple and the quality of the box is amazing in the hand. Zephyrus G16 support 240hz, Gsync, OLED, 0.2ms response time, with up to 500 nits of brightness and 100% DC-P3 for amazing colors. it support 90wh for fast charging. The body is equipped with sleek Aluminum Chasis and the laptop weight 4.30lbs. the power cable is almost like a bigger brother of an USB C, this the first laptop I ever owned that has that and moving forward I would prefer if companies would make this a standard attachment for charging your laptop. G16 support Dolby Atmos and this laptop has 6 speakers with dual side woofers with an amazing sounds quality that has down of the best quality speakers on laptop by far. I/O you get HDMI 2.1 out, 2 USB 3.2 gen 2 type A, audio jack, SD reader, USB 3.2 gen 2 type C. and Thunderbolt 4 type C with power delivery 3.0. EXPERIENCE: gaming on this has been a blast, all games so far has been above 100+ this without even using heavy DLSS, I played mainly The Finals and visual running on 5070 laptop has been great with zero complaints. Doom The Dark Ages also runs great and was able to test out all the last features with DLSS running and being a single player I have no issue having DLSS and it runs amazing. I also tested Valorant and all time great Counter Strike which where you’ll get most of the frame rates! I havent notice any coil noises or heavy fan noise compared to their 2023 Zephyrus that I previously had. I thought the keyboard felt great and I didnt have any issue reaching any keys at all. response time having an OLED is guarantee to be the fastest so thats also another great thing to be upgrading to this 2025 version. CONCLUSION: if you havent tried Asus Rog Zephyrus G16 I highly recommend it due to amazing performance, with top of the line buit qualtyand innovation that Asus come out with every year is something to keep in mind. for the best 2 weeks ive been testing this laptop to my racing sim rig, gaming monitor and even bringing it to my livingroom to just continue the game on the go. I have no negative thing to say about this product honestly for all the game i’ve tested I came out satisfied, from the look of this laptop, performance and quality. this the laptop to consider this year hands down.

The first thing I want to note to anyone looking purchase a gaming system, when it comes to customer service and support, Asus is always at the top. I have literally had a system from every major manufacturer and I cannot recommend them enough. From their Hands-On support to their one year free of damage protection. Top notch. Now on to the system itself. I have had several of the Zephyrus laptops, and I have always been impressed. Sleek form factor, great RGB lighting, tactile perfected keys, plenty of ports for everything I need, and decent battery life for a gaming laptop. The initial window setup went on without a hitch, and once I was set up it was blazing fast. Loaded up epic games and loaded my first game, and I was up and playing in no time. Beautiful imagery and colors from the OLED screen, and the 240 HZ has everything moving as smooth as ever, pair that with the RTX 5070 and dlss and we were in business with no hiccups. This system is also thin and light enough that I can toss it in my bag without taking up major space and it's ready to play wherever I am. Battery life is typical, at high performance. You're only getting about an hour and a half to 2 hours. Take it down. You can stretch that out. As I noted decent battery life. As I continued playing, I noticed the heat dissipation was managed very well. The wrist area has plenty of room to rest if you're using the track pad to navigate around, and as I just mentioned, it doesn't get hot and stays comfortable. This particular system only has 16 GB of RAM, but that's plenty enough for everything. I was using it for. My major purpose when not out and about gaming, is to use it as a streamer for my main PC to my living room TV. For this, no issues at all, and a great duplication of what's on my main gaming rig. The 5070 the processor, and the ram combination work just fine for everything I need and I haven't noticed any slowdowns or graphical issues thus far. Material wise, always impress with the zephyrus series as they are very well built. One nice little touch is the light strip on the back of the laptop. It's like a lightning bolt. I truly appreciate that little detail. Of course you have all your necessities like USBC and A ports, though you may need a hub if you want to add multiples, but that's pretty standard. Backlit keyboard is RGB and bright, camera is great for zooming etc., and the speakers are very good for a laptop. Internal speakers have come a long way, and the speakers on this system show the fruit of progress. I still use a headset, but trust, these could hold on their own if your headset wasn't available. In closing, this is a great system supported by a company whose customer service I find to be exceptional. I absolutely would recommend it for speed, color, use, and overall functionality. You won't go wrong with this one.

I’ve been really impressed with the G16 so far. The RTX 5070 paired with a Ryzen 9 or Intel Ultra 9 gives it more than enough power for gaming, content creation, and multitasking without feeling sluggish. Games run smoothly at high settings, and DLSS 4 support helps push even better performance. The 16-inch display is one of the highlights. The 240Hz options look incredibly smooth, colors are vibrant, and the screen has enough room to comfortably game, edit videos, or work on multiple windows at once. Cooling is solid for a gaming laptop. It still gets warm under heavy loads, but the fans do a good job keeping performance consistent without major throttling. Battery life is decent for a gaming machine, but you’ll still want the charger nearby for longer gaming sessions. Pros * Excellent gaming performance * Smooth, high-refresh-rate display * Strong cooling system * Good keyboard and build quality * Plenty of upgrade potential Cons * Not the lightest laptop to carry around * Fans can get loud during intense gaming * Battery life is average when gaming Overall Rating: 9/10

ASUS made such a beautiful machine with this ROG Zephyrus! You have a thin, sturdy built machine with the looks of a workhorse but with just a little flair on the lid and RGB keyboard. It's been a little while since I have picked up a laptop with specs such as these, Intel Core Ultra 9, 16GB of RAM, RTX 5070 plus a 16 inch 2.5K OLED panel capable of 240Hz! ASUS was able to fit all of this power into a thin chassis. There is an HDMI 2.1 port plus a Thunderbolt 4 for display output. With the size, the laptop does warm up quite a bit, causing the fans to ramp while gaming. Playing with headset and chatting, it was pretty much muted out. There is a built-in camera and microphone, but I did not test out either as I was mostly chatting on my headset and grinding levels in the new Diablo 4 season. I was able to comfortably sit and play long sessions without any issues, the laptop is more than capable in specs and able to keep itself cool enough to avoid any slow down due to temps! I didn't crack open the laptop, as I usually do, I like to look and see if there are any options to upgrade the RAM, plus just check out the innards of the machine. The trackpad is huge on this laptop! WiFi 7 has been solid while I play, with the Thunderbolt 4 cable I can always use my docking station to get a wired port, but this has been more than capable of downloading and playing some pretty intense hordes of enemies without any lag. This machine has been a beast! Got the new Destiny 2 content next week plus Grounded 2 later this month that I am looking forward to grinding through with this laptop, plus admire the games on this OLED panel!

The new Zephyrus G16 with the RTX 5070 is the perfect balance of power and portability. The 2.5K OLED screen is absolutely stunning for both gaming and creative work, and the build quality finally rivals a MacBook while still crushing AAA titles at high settings. It runs a bit warm because it’s so thin, but the performance and premium aluminum chassis make it worth every penny if you need a professional-looking machine that can actually play everything.

A lot of people are saying that the 5070 version is not enough and to just get the 5070ti version which is a huge jump in price after ramageddon. I think for casual gamers and the occasional triple A gamers, this laptop is more than enough. The ram seems to be sufficient to my use and I sometimes even stream games on twitch. The heating isn't that bad either but the fans do get loud. I also use this laptop for music production and it runs plugins very well! The only downside about is it does take a lot of adjustment right out of the box if you want it optimized to how you use the laptop.

If you are thinking about picking it up, do it! Don't let the 16gb of ram or the 8gb on the GPU scare you off, with so many options on upscaling and a phenomenal OLED screen, your games will look great and play super smooth. I use this every day as a work laptop when I travel and then can catch up on some BF6 and D4 at night. I have taken it overseas multiple times and the fact that you can run it wiith a USB C (up to 100w) is such a win too. Awesome product and easy support with Best Buy.

Overall, I’m happy with this product. It performs very well, the screen looks great, and the design feels modern and sturdy. It’s fast for daily tasks and gaming, and the battery works properly with good life. The only issue I’ve experienced is that it has restarted unexpectedly a few times without any clear reason. It doesn’t happen often, but it can be annoying when you’re in the middle of something important. Other than that, everything else has been positive. It’s a solid device for the price and a great choice if you’re looking for good power and performance.

This is a fantastic laptop! I've had zero issues with it, the screen, keyboard, performance, and cooling is great. It's super thin and light for a gaming laptop. Runs everything I need decently well, which brings me to my point. This laptop only has 16GB of RAM and is non-upgradable. So for most people, this is not a problem. But it's not really a future proof laptop I would say and can't run some games and programs due to the limitations of RAM. Otherwise though, it's fantastic. I'd consider the 5070 Ti model and above due to this, if you need the extra RAM.

This laptop is one that would fit a lot of people’s needs and has a lot of great qualities, but there are some limitations that some people might not like. Size, weight, and build quality: The size of this laptop is typical of a laptop of this type, however, the thickness is super thin, especially for a gaming laptop with these specs. It is also pretty lightweight, again for these specs. The build quality is excellent and looks and feels like a very expensive laptop, not that this is cheap, but looks and feels even better. There is very little flex on the screen when it is opened. This is definitely fancy looking and doesn’t look much like a gaming laptop. There is a light stripe on the back of the lid which flickers. It’s the only thing that screams gaming laptop, but it is not obnoxious. I can live without it though and will be turning it off. Performance: Performance is excellent on this thing. There is absolutely no hesitation when doing PC, streaming, and office type work on it. Performance during gaming was excellent as well. I played at the default 60Hz on ultra high settings and saw no frame drops even on complicated backgrounds or action scenes. CPU utilization while gaming was on the high end. It does have 16GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM which is about the lowest amount you need for today’s games, so there is no headroom there. I didn’t notice any sort of limitation with this. Upgradability: This is where things take a serious nosedive. It has 16GB of RAM and it is soldered to the motherboard so there is no way to upgrade it. While there are two SSD slots, you can only install at most a 2GB SSD in each one. A 4GB SSD doesn’t work. This seriously limits your storage space, especially if you want to install a lot of games. Upgradability is definitely something serious to consider before buying it. Screen: The screen is beautiful, but that is to be expected from an OLED screen. The contrast ratio is really nice with a true black background. The viewing angle is very good but does affect it at big angles. There is a lot of glare when light is shining on it. I noticed that this seems to be the case for all laptops with OLED screens. I don’t think this is specific to this laptop but can diminish how it looks when using it. Because it has an OLED screen, I like to auto-hide the taskbar to help prevent burn-in. This does not work here no matter what I do. I assume this is a Windows problem and not this laptop, but I would expect this to work on a new laptop out of the box. Sound: The sound quality is good, especially for a laptop which typically has poor sound. It has decent bass, good midrange and highs. I have noticed that all my ASUS laptop’s sound blows out the competition. Not sure how they do it but keep it up. It can get loud, so volume is not a problem. Keyboard and touchpad: The keyboard feels very nice with a good amount of travel and a more defined “click” so pressing keys by accident while typing was not a problem. It has your standard laptop keys including a dedicated key for co-pilot AI. I do love the feel of the keyboard and not making mistakes while typing. It is lighted the perfect amount. The touchpad on this thing is huge and sensitive enough to detect your movements without being too sensitive. While the buttons work, I am someone who prefers to tap on the touchpad instead of using the buttons and that works perfectly for me. Again, I love the size and feel of this touchpad. Battery: When using the internet, email, office apps, and videos, I was able to get around 4 hours of battery life. When playing it was only like an hour, but that is to be expected. Gaming always kills the battery, so you really need to plug it in when you are gaming. It takes around an hour to charge. Another really cool thing about this laptop is that there is a setting within the MyASUS app that allows you to set the battery to only charge up to 80% to protect the longevity of the battery. All devices should have this feature. Connectors: This has your standard set of connectors; HDMI, 2 USB-A, 2 USC-C, headphone port, and a card reader. All work as expected. It does have a proprietary power connector so if you are traveling, you will need to bring its power supply with you. I would say the power brick is medium in size. The Wi-Fi connects to the router right away when powering up and stays connected without any problems. MyASUS App: It includes an app called MyASUS that shows you current performance loads like memory and CPU usage, hard drive space used, and battery remaining. You can also do all your system updates including firmware and BIOS. It allows you to run various system diagnostics. It has a bunch of settings such as battery care mode, noise canceling modes (and many of them), TaskFirst which sets up the behavior of the laptop based on the type of work you will be doing (productivity, streaming, games, etc.), and Wi-Fi SmartConnect which will connect to the router with the strongest signal. The app is laid out well and all features of it work as they are supposed to. Asus clearly spent time on the app getting it right, which is not always the case for hardware companies. In conclusion: This is a very nice laptop, has a great look that is not “gamey”, feels great, and performs well. The problem is with its upgradability, or lack of. Decide if you need to upgrade the memory or the SSD bigger than 2GB per slot. If you need to, look elsewhere, otherwise this device is something I recommend that fits the bill. It does have minimum amount of RAM and VRAM, but I didn’t notice any performance problems and was able to play games on ultra-high settings at 60Hz without any hits.

Swift and smooth delivery. This laptop is so lightwight but works really good. Long lifeline and it came with free perks for gaming. I highly recommend!!!

This ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is a fantastic gaming laptop, offering an exceptional blend of performance and portability. I've been thoroughly impressed with its capabilities, especially the stunning OLED display and the smooth, high refresh rate, which makes gaming incredibly immersive. The powerful processor and graphics card handle even the most demanding games with ease, ensuring a fluid and enjoyable experience.

Device performance is an overall 10/10. I love the minimalist design. It doesn't scream gaming laptop. Battery life is good for everyday task

It’s fast, powerful, and works smoothly for everyday use, schoolwork, and more demanding programs. The performance is excellent, the screen looks great, and it feels well-built and reliable. It also handles multitasking without any problems. Overall, a great laptop for the price

The display is one of the best reasons to purchase this computer. It's battery life for the most part is fantastic and the performance is wonderful. I've had a few issues where the battery was drained and the computer was hot when I got it out of my backpack because it woke itself back up after going to sleep and drained in the bag.

One of the best gaming PC's you can buy. The screen is the same as most of the other gaming PC's, OLED, same resolution/etc. There is a mode button you can use which lets you switch from different power modes. Also the speakers are great for a laptop, light weight, keyboard is nice and mouse pad is smooth. Overall a good PC weather using it for office work/web browsing or hard core gaming.

I've had a pretty good experience with this laptop and it's long battery life has been super helpful with my classes. When gaming, however, this laptop really heats up and I've had the laptop restart randomly sometimes. Overall I don't really regret purchasing this product and I'm pretty happy with how convenient it's been.
