Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thin and lightweight for a gaming laptop but fans get louder than a normal gaming laptop. Battery is around 10hours with G-Helper for office use. Definitely recommended for work/game combo. 5070ti is the sweet spot for this laptop. However, I did get a defective unit for this laptop. Test for defective unit.

Coming from the previous generation’s Zephyrus, there was hope that with new technology would bring better performance, better efficiency, and a chance of fixing all (or at least most) of the problems that were encountered before. Has this been met with this newest iteration? Well, there are mixed feelings on that. I will be conducting this review compared to the previous generation that had an Intel 185H and RTX 4090, all other specs are the same. For those coming onto this platform fresh, the Zephyrus lineup has always had decent build quality; you get the feeling that you got what you paid for. The keyboard is a joy to use, the touchpad is nice and large so you have to be a little careful when typing, and the speakers are amongst the best for a laptop. There are no problems with the OLED screen, it is extremely sharp and amazing for photography. I find that this has the perfect I/O ports for travel without needing a dongle. You do need to bring the charging brick, otherwise you are forced into the discrete graphics when on a lower powered charger (on battery, you can use the GPU without a problem). Overall, using this is a joy and it is definitely a more enjoyable experience than the previous generation. With that said, let’s dive into what has changed and fixed. For starters, one of the main reasons why it is more enjoyable is they have really dialed in the fan noise. You really do not hear the fan unless you start doing processing work, compared to before where the fans start kicking on when you watch YouTube. The CPU and GPU seem to play more nicely together on the platform too. The problem where the 185H would hit a high temperature limit and suddenly drop to 300MHz were not seen for the 285H. All that being said, one of the biggest elephant in the room needs to be addressed, and that is the price. This is coming in at about the same price as the 4090 last generation, which is a huge price jump as that was last year’s flagship model. Looking at the benchmark photos uploaded, there is only a minor improvement. Also one thing to note, the current fan profiles do not have the fans running at 100% and that really drops the CPU scores as shown. That means to get the extra CPU performance, you’ll need to change the fan profiles and say goodbye to the quiet life. So at the end of the day, this was a marginal improvement over the 4090 from last generation at a similar MSRP. Intel once again should not have been the CPU choice, AMD has a much better option and better efficiency. The 5080 is disappointing and barely better than a 4090. This laptop leaves much to be desired; as an upgrade from last generation it is not much, and for a newcomer, you may be better off getting a used 4090 variant or wait for a sale. If you must have the shiniest and newest, the Zephyrus platform is an extremely enjoyable user experience and that is something that should be considered.

This laptop is pretty dope. The build quality is right up there with a macbook, all aluminum, very rigid. The speakers sound fantastic! Pretty impressive for a thin and light laptop, performance with the 5080 is respectable. Im playing Diablo IV, Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6 all high-ultra settings and getting 80+ FPS which is good enough for me because I like the eye candy but I could get more FPS by dialing some things back. Last but certainly no least is that OLED display, OMG it’s outstanding, I cant go back to IPS laptop displays. One thing I dont care for is the slash RGB thing on the lid, I disabled it, its pretty useless to me.

ASUS Zephyrus G16 performance a stylish design and high-end construction. To start the screen looks fantastic. The 16-inch QHD+ display provides amazing color accuracy and clarity making creative work and games enjoyable. Whether you're immersed in a competitive match or simply binge-watching your favorite shows this displays high refresh rate, and incredibly thin bezels make for an immersive experience. The G16 truly shines when it comes to gaming performance. Equipped with the newest Intel and NVIDIA hardware it efficiently runs contemporary AAA games maintaining fluid frame rates even at high settings. Fast load times and smooth multitasking are guaranteed by the combination of fast storage and lots of RAM. This computer can easily handle anything from graphically demanding RPGs to fast-paced FPS games. Another aspect in which ASUS excels is build quality. The G16 boasts a high-end simple chassis that feels both robust and light. It's a beast of performance but it also feels and looks like a high-end piece of technology. Long periods of use are comfortable and responsive, and the cooling system is remarkably effective and silent. All things considered the ASUS Zephyrus G16 is a top-tier gaming laptop that offers a remarkable overall experience. Whether you're a content creator an avid gamer or someone who simply values high-quality hardware this computer is well worth the money.

The 2025 Zephyrus G16 with the RTX 5080 is one of the most impressively tuned laptops I’ve tested. Even on 100W USB-C charging, it delivered 83–96 FPS in Resident Evil 4 Remake at native 1600p with ray tracing on high and no DLSS — outperforming the RTX 4090 model, which managed just 47–52 FPS under the same conditions. In CPU-Z benchmarks, the 5080’s Ultra 9 285H scored 807.7 (1T) and 9536.1 (multi) in Turbo mode — beating the 4090 both plugged in and on battery. It stayed cool, efficient, and even maintained just 0.5%/hr battery drain overnight in sleep mode. If you want near-desktop power that travels well, scales smartly, and doesn’t need a giant charger to perform — the 5080 G16 is simply in a league of its own.

Great laptop high speed lots of storage space . Good for multitasking. Great price.

Nice display, incredible sound system, if used for daily tasks and the graphics card is disabled battery life can get up to 7-8 hours

Lightweight and fast with a decent battery life. Trackpad can pick up the palm sometimes.

Amazing screen - cant live without a 2.5k OLED 240hz screen after trying this beast out. Amazing quality build and can run basically any game on max settings. Be prepared for it to get hot though.

As an Xbox gamer, I was searching for a portable yet powerful device that would allow me to play on the go. Initially, I had my eyes on the Xbox ROG Ally, but its price tag made me reconsider my options. I eventually chose this laptop, which, while more expensive, delivers noticeably more power and remains easy to carry. Its performance has exceeded my expectations for gaming and multitasking. One of the biggest advantages is its versatility—I can also use it for work while on vacation, eliminating the need to carry both an iPad and/or MacBook Air. Overall, I am highly satisfied with its performance and the flexibility it offers as a gaming and productivity device.

I've been waiting for a gaming laptop that checks all the boxes. This is definitely it. I needed something portable, and powerful. This laptop can handle just about anything i throw at it and looks professional as well. I previously had an LG Gram 17, and was worried about adjusting to the new screen. Losing a little bit of real-estate was worth this beautiful OLED display. I also hate super glossy screens and this one does a nice job diffusing glare. Its not matt but it maintains a nice balance. Keyboard us great, wish it had per key led lighting but thats not the end of the world to me. Overall highly satisfied with this laptop and would recommend it to others.

This laptop is a step up in terms of performance and portability. I use it for at home for work but it travels very well and maintains the capability of a home PC. I highly recommend for the professional thats looking for the extra NVIDIA power for gaming or training AI models.

Its a great gaming laptop. it form factor is compact, it runs games great although you might not get the highest fps running super ultra settings on aaa titles, it still fantastic for a laptop and very playable. The screen is awesome, oled black is deep black. this laptop can do it all, gaming productivity educational streaming.

Fabulous so far!! Purchased for work particularly for speed and graphics to design. This is the upgraded version of my previous purchase, years prior, same brand. Very nice, ease of use and the speed is a plus…would definitely recommend this product…

What I expected after researching some options. Runs local AI stuff fast. Little pricey considering the it's the lesser version of the 5080 compared to the desktop version. But if laptop is what you want, this is great. Gets hot when gpu is working hard, but this was known. Got one of those cheap cooling stands / pads just to give it a surface to sit on while the fans are blasting, don't need to plug it in though.

I bought the laptop for my daughter who loves to game a lot. She absolutely loved the Zephyrs. It is very light, aesthetically beautiful, very powerful and runs great.

This really is the machine to have if you are looking for the total package! It's Quiet for gaming machine, Anti glare OLED, best speakers in a laptop. Lightest in class, the only negative is the price which is why I couldn't keep it!! Look for it on sale if you can!!

You honestly can't beat the size, screen, and performance combo here. It just runs hot as heck so that makes the fans loud if you want the best possible gaming performance.

I am really enjoying this laptop for productivity and for gaming. I highly recommend this model because you do get the higher powered GPU and CPU combination, 32 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage. The OLED display is fantastic, the keyboard is great, and when it isn't running a game, the laptop is very quiet. If recommend this over the G14 due to the screen size.

Awesome powerful gaming laptop! I love being able to take this anywhere and play powerful pc gaming in a laptop.
