Customer Ratings & Reviews

ASUS has slowly started to take over my house, and it’s laptops like this that are making it happen. The ROG Zephyrus G16 is a fine machine with a lot of style and power behind it. This is our 3rd ASUS laptop in the last 5 years and they just keep getting better with each iteration. While my kids are enjoying the hand-me-downs, I am loving this G16. Let’s start off by talking about this beautiful screen. This OLED beauty boasts some of the clearest and most vivid pictures that I have seen on any laptop. With a 240 Hz refresh rate, things are smooth and crisp with every movie clip, HD video, or gaming session. All of that beauty is available due to the G16’s combination of the NVIDIA GeFOrce RTX 5070, the added DLSS 4 technology, and the 8GB of GDDR7 RAM. From there, you add in the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor to go along with a 1TB SSD, and you have yourself one heck of a machine. In some respects, this powerful laptop could replace desktops for some. The one thing that prevents me from going all in on that is the 16GB of RAM that is not upgradeable. That’s a tough one to get around when it comes to trying to keep your machine up to speed as time goes on. Hopefully, that will be a long way down the road though. Looking at the external sharpness of the G16, the Eclipse Gray is pretty classy in appearance. Then you add in a little fun with the customizable Slash lighting on the top of the laptop. It really pops on the aluminum chassis. When open, the keyboard has several options to light up your experience or turn it off to keep things to a minimum if you are using that camera at the top of the monitor. Around the sides you will find the various connection options. You have the HDMI and Thunderbolt options for your external display needs. I used both with no issue whatsoever. Then you have the USB-C and USB-A connections as well as a media card reader and a headphone jack. This laptop has a lot of versatility with all of these options. I will say that the longer gaming sessions will produce a little more noise from the fans and a good deal of heat on the bottom of the unit. Neither are super terrible and deal breakers, but they should be taken into account depending on where you are. That’s where being on a table and the headphone jack can come in handy. Personally, I have really enjoyed my overall experience with the G16. The gaming has been great and I look forward to more of it.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 with RTX 5070 and 16GB of RAM is simply outstanding. From the moment you turn it on, you can tell it’s a premium laptop — the aluminum chassis feels solid, the keyboard is comfortable and quiet, and the OLED display is absolutely stunning. The colors are vibrant, the brightness is excellent, and the 240 Hz refresh rate makes everything look incredibly smooth, whether you’re gaming or editing videos. The performance is top-tier. Demanding games run effortlessly, load times are lightning-fast, and the system stays responsive even with heavy multitasking. The cooling system does a great job keeping temperatures under control without being too noisy. Another big plus is portability — despite all its power, it’s slim and lightweight, perfect for travel or work on the go. Battery life is also impressive considering the performance it packs. Overall, the Zephyrus G16 strikes the perfect balance between power, design, and display quality. It’s a laptop that truly delivers and is worth every penny.

I’ve had the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 for a little over a week now, and I’m blown away. This is hands down the best gaming laptop I’ve ever owned. The16 inch OLED display is absolutely stunning, it’s sharp, vibrant, and paired with a 240Hz refresh rate, everything looks buttery smooth. Whether I’m gaming or streaming video, the visual experience is incredible. It’s shockingly lightweight for a gaming laptop and traveled really well during a recent trip. Despite the power it’s packing, the fan stays surprisingly quiet, even in performance mode. This model comes with 16GB RAM and an RTX 5070, and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it without breaking a sweat. Games run flawlessly with no lag, no hiccups, and it performs like a tower PC in a portable shell. Boot-up is lightning fast and it has no issue juggling daily tasks, apps, and tons of open browser tabs. Battery life has been great too, I have gotten around 10 hours on average, and it recharges quickly. The port selection is solid with 1 HDMI, 1 Thunderbolt USB-C, USB-C, 2 USB-A, SD card slot, and even a 3.55mm headphone jack, basically everything anyone would need, especially when docked to multiple screens or even when traveling. The RGB keyboard and LED light strip add a fun, customizable touch. And the speakers… wow. The sound blew me away the first time I heard it, it was full, loud, and clear. I think my jaw literally dropped when I hit play on Spotify. Windows 11 with Copilot AI is a cool bonus that makes productivity super easy. Overall, this laptop has exceeded every expectation. If you’re a gamer or creator looking for top-tier performance, killer visuals, and portability, the Zephyrus G16 delivers. I highly recommend it! I wouldn’t expect anything less from Asus; they always knock it out of the park!

This laptop is awesome. I got this for school since I'm starting a data analytics graduate program, This brought me the best balance between battery life, performance, a good display, weight (since I'm lugging it around all the time), and brings a nice minimalist aesthetic despite being a gaming laptop. I mostly use this laptop for homework and it's awesome (right now it's primarily programming). The keyboard feels great for this, and the display is AWESOME. It's big and clear. You can switch to a "Silent" mode profile, which makes the fans much quieter and tones down the resources a lot (since you wouldn't really be gaming under this profile). When I do game on here for fun, it does get a little warm and the fans kick in, but that's obviously what it's supposed to do as a gaming laptop. I've tried Baldur's Gate 3 and it looks even better than on my main desktop. I'm sure the high refresh rate on this laptop would make games like Valorant and Fortnite look crisp. The only nitpick I have is the font on the keys, but nothing terrible. I highly recommend this product as a great all-arounder.

There are so many things to say about this excellent Zephyrus that ASUS hit out of the park. 16' but really thin for the internal beefiness, stunning OLED display, performance with gaming etc. After daily driving it there is only 2 things that I personally would bug me for the future. I will get to this later. Setup is fairly standard and easy. In the box comes the laptop that is extremely well protected, the power brick with a proprietary connector and the usual paperwork. I love the look of the aluminum chassis with the light strip on the back that looks like a "/" mark, but it's easily forgettable as you will never see it. I/O is plentiful for my needs. On the side with the power connecter you have HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4 USB C, USB 3.2 Type A and an Audio/Mic combo jack and on the other side is another USB 3.2 Type A, USB C and a SD card reader. Being a Windows 11 PC, I trudged through the annoying setup and login screen that took forever to me. There is an incredibly large amount of bloatware that I would suggest you remove from the laptop as soon as you get to your desktop and after DLing and installing about a 100 updates. McAfee being the worst. This will at least free up some space on the 1TB NVMe you get for space. The screen is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. The "2.5K" 2560x1600 OLED running at a smoooooth 240 hz with a .2ms response time is just a great combination. Perfect blacks and everything your eyes see is just stunning. Another crazy thought that I would normally rarely say is that the built in speakers are not just ok or passable, but actually great. 6 speakers with dual side woofers are placed perfectly on the keyboard. During gaming, if you don't feel like using a headset, I found them extremely good. Nice and loud with crisp sound, even at higher volumes. Performance is excellent from my previous predecessors. Personally I have been using the ROG Zephyrus as a desktop replacement and never once regretted the decision. The Intel 285H is really not that bad considering their previous 2 desktop gen's issues. No game I played was ever CPU bound. The RTX 5070 Laptop is a nice workhorse even though you should know it is NOT the same is a regular desktop 5070. I benchmarked Time Spy and even Shadows of the Tomb Raider on high/max settings and got excellent results. See my pics. Every game I own and threw at it never stuttered, skipped, artifact or played sluggish. Oblivion Remaster, DOOM, CyberPunk etc were a blast. The keyboard/trackpad is nice and comfortable for someone my size (I just have big hands). Keys were responsive and had a great tactile feeling that I enjoy. Even when typing and my wrists being on the trackpad, I never once had a slip of the mouse/cursor. I do use an external G502 gaming mouse that pairs well. Another this I like is fan noise. Even during demanding tasks/gaming, the fans to ramp up, but they do NOT sound like mini jet engines like I am used to in other laptops. Easily can be drowned out with headphones but also the built-in speakers. I would not even notice the fans were on unless I was actually actively listening for them. Now I did try to see if I could remove the bottom to see the internals, but after removing all the T6 screws, the base is stuck together near the rear where all the cooling is so I did not want to risk damaging it. From what I did have access to, it seems you can replace the NVMe but did not see an extra slot for a 2nd (there could be one but I only had access to the front 50% and to the left of that is the wifi card. I really did want to see if you could add RAM but I think it is soldered and non-upgradable (you get 16GB of LPDDR5X @ 7467MHz). This brings me to my personal negatives about the laptop. 1st is the 1TB drive. For something that is as premium as this ROG, 2TB should be standard considering game sizes nowadays. 2nd is the 16GB of RAM. It seems the time is coming where 16GB is not going to cut it and at least 24/32GB should be the new norm. This and the inclusion of McAfee is the reason I knocked off a star. This ROG Zephyrus, even when only having a 5070 with 16GB, I feel is more than enough for a really enjoyable experience with today's modern titles. I have been having a blast with all my games

Powerful device packed into a lightweight package. Runs all of my needs + light gaming which looks beautiful on the OLED display and high refresh rate. The speakers are also some of the best that I've heard on a laptop. Few shortcomings to be aware of. Due to the slim design, the system does run hot but has not bothered me yet when typing. In addition, the device is not cheap, so I wish it came with at least 32 GB of ram. The GPU is also limited in the 8 GB VRAM so something to keep in mind if you game a lot + play any AAA titles in the near future. Overall, I do not regret my purchase especially if you catch it on a sale!

I’ve been using the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 for a few weeks and it feels like the perfect mix of power and portability. The 16-inch OLED display is stunning — colors are vivid, and games look incredibly smooth at high refresh rates. Performance is top-notch; it runs heavy games and editing software without a hiccup. The build feels premium and it’s surprisingly lightweight for a gaming laptop. The only downsides are that the fans get loud under load and battery life isn’t all-day, but plugged in, it’s a beast. Overall, I’m really happy with the balance of performance and design.

I am having difficulty even starting this review, not because of any problem or negative views of the laptop, but just because of how good it is! I suppose one way I could sum up this laptop is that, in the present time, in entering quarter three of 2025, this is what a two-thousand-dollar laptop should look like, feel like, sound like, perform like! It cannot be denied that this is a pricey device. Nor can it be accurately stated that this is the greatest dollar-to-performance gaming laptop in the category. However, no gaming laptop I have ever reviewed in over a decade of doing laptop reviews has ever quite captured this grouping of features that just launches this sixteen-inch screen beauty into a high place of honor for both everyday productivity/school use and gaming. Let’s go on to detail some of those now. First of all, the hardware and build quality of this laptop is basically perfect for what I look for in laptops. Full aluminum chassis, smooth one-finger-opening screen hinge, lusciously comfortable keyboard typing experience, generously sized and smooth-feeling trackpad, speakers loud enough to fill a couple of rooms with quality and full-range audio (in point of fact, the best gaming laptop speakers I have EVER heard, period). A screen with such rapid response and vivid beauty! It is all – just - here! My normal strategy with my laptop reviews is to give super nerdy, in-depth insights into the laptop. In this era of amazing YouTube reviewers and quality blogs, though, I feel like my best served purpose in this instance is to try to convey to the best of my ability the emotional and visceral feeling of using this laptop. When you first boot it on, you are greeted by the deep, perfect blacks of a certified OLED screen in all of its inky glory. The 16” screen brightens with the Windows login page and, when set up, you are welcomed into the use of your device with the handy Windows Hello camera option for login. Loading the home page of this device is lightning fast, the 16GB of soldered on 7467 MT/s RAM and 6700 mb/S speed NVMe SSD work in cooperation with the Core Ultra 9 285H CPU to ensure you have a fantastic workflow experience on day to day productivity tasks. And when you are ready to game plugged in, this machine stands up admirably to the task, delivering triple A gaming at max settings on almost all newer titles tested including Doom The Dark Ages, the latest update of Hunt: Showdown 1896, and on intensive VR games like Pavlov VR hooked up to a MetaQuest two! The fans can get a little noisy, but since it is a larger laptop with bigger fans and more breathing room, they make more of a constant “whooshing” sound rather than an aggravating whine and whir sound that some smaller gaming laptops tend to emit at high fan speeds. At the risk of being repetitive, I just want to touch on a couple more of my absolute key features. First, as a MacBook user (yes, I admitted it), this laptop is a true match in build quality while possessing GREATLY more utility for a gamer-centric laptop user. Furthermore, the device possesses greater versatility in use with more I/O built in, like USB-A ports, while remaining a highly comfortable thickness. The keyboard is also a fantastic one, perfect for day to day typing of essays, emails, or whatever else you have in mind! This very review is being written on the laptop keyboard and I have no greater fatigue with it over my usual keyboards I type on. This also almost goes without saying, but this laptop is NOT an all-day device on battery. It is super optimized with Nvidia Optimus built in which switches the laptop to using the built in graphics on the Intel Core Ultra 9 chip instead to the dedicated GPU which saves power, and it is also capable on silent mode in the Armory crate settings of toning down the power factors overall so you can enjoy about 3 to 4 hours of unplugged basic productivity use. Thus, my favorite way to use this laptop is on Silent mode for the battery savings and quieting of the fans, while switching the screen to 240hz refresh. I know that this is a source of inefficiency, but I just value a smooth display so much and since you are paying for this gorgeous OLED high refresh speed panel, I recommend you take full advantage of it for gaming and non-gaming scenarios! One MASSIVE benefit I found with this laptop that you are going to love. It is capable of charging at partial power over USB-C!!! Yes. You read that right, you do not have to bring around the 200watt power brick and dedicated charger all the time! I hooked up my 100-watt capable power supply to this laptop via USB-C, and it was pulling in the full 100 watts! Albeit, you do get warnings from the system that this is not enough power to run at full performance for gaming, etc., but the scenario I imagine using USB-C for is when I am at work with a laptop and just need to top it off without bothering to lug around a 200-watt charging brick! This is a great feature that honestly takes this laptop above and beyond competitors who do not offer this feature in terms of flexibility and versatility! The ONLY thing on this laptop I can find some fault with is the trackpad. It is gigantic, which is super handy for navigating a large screen like this, but I have encountered some palm rejection issues while typing. Additionally, despite my griping and complaining on every platform I can manage, the trackpad is STILL not being offered with a haptic trackpad option. With companies out there like Sensel creating incredible haptic trackpads for Windows laptops, I would just truly hope that someday one of these gaming laptop companies gets on board with adding one. I know that for most gamers, this is not a necessity, given most of us will game with a mouse. But for those wishing to use a device like this as a multi-purpose work, school, and gaming device, it would be so great to have that option! A couple of other, far more minor complaints are the following: The outside does pick up fingerprints quite a lot; I am really hoping that a company like dbrand eventually releases as high-quality skin to help mitigate this issue. I basically find the slash lighting on the lid to be kind of silly and show-offy, so I keep it turned off most of the time. Altogether, I will give this laptop an absolute 5 out of 5 stars. My very few complaints are so minimal compared to the veritable landslide of incredible features found on this laptop. I am so grateful to have this machine in my possession, and I would highly recommend that anyone comparing a gaming laptop in this category and price range give this one some serious consideration!

Coming off of last year’s superb 2024 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 the 2025 G16 is another strong entry. While more of a revision rather than a revolution it still packs a bunch of power in a solid and small frame. It is a thinner laptop so it's lighter and easier to carry, just keep in mind if you want a quiet laptop then run it in Silent mode (for browsing or work) and then switch to performance or turbo mode when gaming. Like last year’s model the G16 packs a superb 16-inch OLED screen with inky blacks and amazing contrast. There is also built in software that helps manage the life of the oled screen by dimming certain parts of the desktop if your brightness is set to the higher settings. Speaking of software, the initial boot and setup of the laptop had me stumped because none of the ASUS software was to be found, you actually have to reboot one time for the software to show up and then you can change settings such as the lighting and fan profile. The speakers were very loud and full once you enable the Atmos sound software, I usually run the volume at around 60% because it was so loud. The Core Ultra 9 285H is a decent upgrade over last year’s model and is a bit more efficient, where the real upgrade is on this model is with the NVIDIA 5070 which allows support for multi-frame generation in supported games. This multi-frame generation comes in handy because the laptop runs at a native 2560x1600 resolution which is a bit high for a laptop, I hope future versions of this laptop can run at double resolution rates (1080p+4k) or that they provide a native 1080p oled screen option so we can crank up the settings without giving up high refresh rates. The RGB keyboard only offers one color zone and is nice to type on, it doesn’t feel mushy and the trackpad is huge which makes it easy to use. You do have access to the NVME drive for storage upgrades but the ram is soldered on so future ram upgrades are almost impossible. The 2025 version of the G16 outputs a bit less fan noise than the previous year when in silent mode which is always welcome, gaming laptops aren't really meant to be in your lap so keep that in mind when gaming as it can get hot and make you uncomfortable. The G16 also comes with USB-C power delivery so you can charge your laptop with one if you don't have the included power brick, however if your USB-C charger does not provide enough power the laptop will not be able to run at its maximum performance. All the games that I played on it ran great especially with NVIDIA's automatic settings chooser it made jumping straight into the games a breeze. Overall, you will not be disappointed with the 2025 Zephyrus G16 it is a great revision over last year’s model and I look forward to seeing what major changes they make in the future.

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.

This review is for the AUSU – ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CP 16” OLED, Gaming laptop with Intel core ultra 9 2.90 Ghz, 16 GB of ram, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, and 1TB SSD hard drive. Man, this thing has great out of the box performance. Let’s start with unboxing. The laptop itself is protected very well in its packaging. In the box you won’t find much. Just the laptop itself, the power block for charging and some paperwork. The setup is the same as with any new computer running windows. Just log in with your Microsoft account or set up a new one. Download all of the updates and you are good to go. It can be time consuming but needs to be done. The first thing I did was activate the free 3 months PC game pass that is included and started downing a few games to see what this thing could do. 100 GB later I had COD installed. Jumped right in and I was seeing a steady 60 frames per second. The game play was so smooth and lag free. And the display screen is awesome. It’s very bright with deep colors and super clear even in dark scenarios. My first thoughts is this thing is a lightweight, portable powerhouse perfect for on the go gaming. The case of the laptop feels nice and sturdy, has a very good build quality. You will find a kool slash light on the lid when closed. It has a built-in camera and microphone, a SD memory card reader, two USB type-C 3.2 gen 2 ports, a thunderbolt 4 port, 3.5mm headphone jack and a HDMI output port. The keyboard also has backlighting making the keys easy to find even in the dark. And I was a little surprised with the built-in speakers. I mean it’s no concert sound with deep bass but better than any other laptop I’ve had before. This laptop can handle it all, from gaming to video editing or schoolwork. This unit has you covered.

The Zephyrus g16 is a beast wrapped in slick clothing. It's thin, light, and pretty but packs a punch when you need power to get some gaming done...I'm guessing it could be used for work too, lol. First impression is that the screen is gorgeous. It's and OLED so you'll get the deep shadows and bright highs. The brightness is a bit too much for me in my normal usage case, so I turn of HDR and lower the brightness when not gaming - not sure why it doesn't keep the brightness setting prior to switch to HDR like other monitors do. Make sure you follow all the normal OLED care guides and burn-in should be minimal or non-existent. The GPU, while plenty powerful for most games, is hindered by only 8GB of memory. I'm not sure why Nvidia even allows 8GB now-a-days with the higher res textures and AI use being more common. Still, the amount is sufficient to keep you going for a while until game start requiring more VRAM at min specs. The only issue I've seen is that 3dmark scores are below average. While it doesn't really translate much into real game play, it is something I'd like to take a closer look at. I didn't check the specs of the other machines so the ones skewing the average could be either heavily OC'ed machines or cheater who get off on making big numbers. There's no num pad and in the place are some pretty large and loud speakers. They give good separation and give the illusion of being further apart then they are. They won't hit deep booms, but they get low enough to give a good range of sound. So far I'm loving the refresh and can't wait to get back to gaming after some yard chores.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.
