    Insanely great laptop, got it very cheap through Best Buy (at a $500) discount, at a price where you wouldn’t find a laptop half as nice. For this price it is a sturdy, powerful, beautiful laptop, with a huge screen and great ASUS software that allow even faster gameplay.

    Running with Fast Company - ASUS ROG

    The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is a sleek-yet-powerful gaming laptop with modern features. Have always been a fan of the Zephyrus line of laptops since receiving my first G14 almost 5 years ago. This new laptop has many welcome improvements while retaining the core styling which makes these laptops top-notch. Weighing in at 4.41lbs, this laptop is not that heavy compared to other gaming laptops of its caliber. This light weight is reflected in the sleek design of the laptop. The looks of this machine are premium with its eclipse gray color and subdued styling. Laptop has a rigid construction of magnesium alloy which is resistant to smudges. The hinge is sturdy as well and the screen can lay flat at 180 degrees. There is also a large rubber foot on the rear of the laptop for proper airflow underneath the chassis and tilts to a comfortable position for the keyboard. I/O is comprehensive with full sized HDMI, ethernet, USB-A, and thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports. Laptop even has a Kensington lock and micro-SD card reader. Am a major fan of the inclusion of a Windows Hello compatible webcam. This facial recognition feature works flawlessly, and I am logged in immediately. Webcam and microphone quality are adequate for conferencing and are on par with other laptops. AI microphone noise cancelling modes can be selected in the Armoury Crate software. These modes aim to mimic different pickup patterns which work quite well in practice. Single-zone, RGB backlit chicklet keyboard is a pleasure to type on as it has satisfying tactile feedback. Keys are well stabilized and function keys have double functions. Large, 6” trackpad glides smoothly and has crisp tactile clicks. Keyboard RGB is easily customizable through the Armoury Crate program. 16-inch OLED display is packed with all the bells and whistles one could dream of. Display is 165hz, HDR and GSYNC compatible. Not to mention that it has extremely wide viewing angles and a matte finish. The screen is also PANTONE validated for 100% of the DCI-P3 color space, which is 25% wider than sRGB. Was impressed when the blur busters UFO test revealed almost nonexistent motion blur nor ghosting. This is quite the feat for a display with such thin bezels and form factor. Benchmark Scores: • Cinebench 2024: o GPU: 11500 o CPU Multi Core: 785 o CPU Single Core: 108 o MP Ratio: 7.02x • 3Dmark Steel Nomad: o Score: 2759 • Unigine Superposition (1080p Extreme): o Score: 7255 o Avg FPS: 54 • BMW27 Blender Render: o CPU: 02:39:90 o GPU: 00:18:02 • Crystal Disk Mark (NVME SSD Profile): o Sequential 1MiB read: 5075 MB/s o Sequential 1MiB write: 3893 MB/s o Random 4KiB read: 738 MB/s o Random 4KiB write: 489 MB/s • GTA V Benchmark: o Average Framerate: 125 o Average Frametime: 8 MS • CS:2 FPS Benchmark: o Average Framerate: 172 o 1% Low Framerate: 95 All game benchmarks were performed at maximum graphics settings and with the laptop on “turbo mode”. SSD benchmark was performed with the drive at 50% capacity. These results are blazing fast and even outperform similarly spec’d computers. However, this is no surprise considering the 13th generation i7 processor and Nvidia 4070 at the heart of this beast. Cooling system does an excellent job at keeping the temps of this monster of a machine at bay. CPU reached its maximum temp of 100 degrees only once during the Cinebench multi core test. I never recorded the GPU exceeding 70 degrees Celsius. Additionally, once the benchmarks were over, the processors were quickly cooled, and fans quieted down. Heat is exhausted out the sides and back of the laptop. Under load, the trackpad area and most of the keyboard stays cool to the touch. Only the center, top area of the keyboard heats up. Fans are considerably loud at nearly 50db under max load. Performing upgrades on this device is straightforward as ASUS has provided detailed user, service manuals, and self-repair guides on their website. The laptop comes equipped with a 512 GB Western Digital SN740 PCIe 4.0 SSD drive and was able to install an additional full-sized NVME SSD in under an hour. 16 GB of dual-channel, DDR4 ram clocked at 3200mhz is soldered on. There is a SODIMM slot allowing for a ram upgrade up to a total of 48 GB as well. Was surprised when accessing the BIOS as it is refined and comprehensive, especially for a laptop. User interface similar to a fully-fledged ROG motherboard. Notably, the BIOS can create RAID drives with Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Armoury Crate software comes pre-installed on this machine. This program enables switching performance modes, controlling RGB, and updating key system components. The program also allows for custom fan curves and mild GPU overclocking. Overall, the ASUS Zephyrus G16 packs a computational punch while having subdued yet striking looks. This laptop truly strikes the balance of raw power and portability for gaming or workstation use on the go.

    The battery lasts long, and the fans don't make any sound in the silent mode. It's really good for both classes and games.

    Great laptop, although I was hesitant going for Katana 15 it was still a pricier option considering a $520 discount on this one, overall when on battery power the laptop runs silent for everyday tasks but for gaming it ensures that it gets enough air and the screen size being 16 inch is also nice.
