Customer Ratings & Reviews

Specs are good. I was using for ML and AI. It didn't hold up to the task and had problem screen twice

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 has blown me away on nearly every front. To start, the OLED screen is absolutely stunning—easily the best display I’ve ever seen on a laptop. The colors are vivid, blacks are truly deep, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes everything from gaming to everyday browsing incredibly smooth. Despite the massive 16" screen, the overall design is slim and highly portable. It's shockingly easy to carry around for a laptop this powerful. The performance is equally impressive. With an Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, it chews through demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Helldivers 2 without breaking a sweat. Graphics quality is top-tier, and load times are almost nonexistent thanks to the 1TB SSD. This thing feels like a MacBook on steroids—but geared for serious gamers and creators. Battery life was a pleasant surprise—it lasts significantly longer than I expected for such a high-performance machine. The aluminum chassis gives the laptop a premium feel, and the build quality is rock solid. I also appreciate the abundance of ports, which is becoming rare in many premium laptops today. The backlit keyboard is another feature I love—it’s comfortable, responsive, and perfect for late-night sessions. All in all, the Zephyrus G16 delivers an elite experience. Highly recommended.

This over heats and shuts down after less than a few hours of use on basic games.

On paper, this machine should be a beast. And I can bury the lead and say that it pretty much is. I ran into some hiccups with setup but otherwise, it runs great and plays great. Setup was sort of the normal Windows 11 setup. I've run though this with a lot of new computers and it's pretty standard. I did run into a blank screen the first time I tried to set things up. I needed to hold the power button down to shut off the machine and turn it back on in order to start up the setup process again. Built in bloat is mainly just the usual ASUS stuff. Running Windows Update, Armory Crate (has an Update All option), MyASUS (had an extra "control panel" update) and the NVIDIA app (to update the 5070 Ti drivers) had everything up to date. It wasn't a super fast process but it never really is when doing all of the updates the first time you set up a computer. Normal usage, you should be safe to run on the battery. You'll probably get 7 hours (give or take an hour based on screen brightness and such) doing things like watching videos and browsing the web casually. I was actually impressed with it's battery usage for just day to day stuff. For such a beefy machine, it does a good enough job to conserve power when it can. If you're going to be gaming, you CAN do it on battery power but I wouldn't recommend it. You'll only get an hour or so of battery life, for starters. More importantly, though, is you'll probably boost your FPS by a good 30% just by plugging in. I switched to performance mode while on battery power but I was still seeing FPS jumps from 60 to 90 just by plugging in the power. The big benchmark game I usually test is Cyberpunk 2077. It does some cutting edge things in the graphics department and has all the extra NVIDIA bells and whistles supported. After going through a lot of benchmarks, I found a pretty great spot at Ray Tracing Ultra settings, with DLSS, Ray Reconstruction on and Frame Generation at 2x (4x felt very jumpy to me). This hit a nice 85-90 FPS and the game looked amazing running at 2560x1600. RGB is fairly nice for being pretty subdued. You just have your keyboard that you can customize. I've never had a lot of luck with Aura Creator. Just never seems to find any devices. But you still have control over the keyboard lighting through Armory Crate as well as the built in Windows Dynamic Lighting settings. There's enough control to customize things the way I like it (which is usually pretty tame and subtle). This computer isn't being marketed as an AI machine but it does have an NPU and can do some AI tasks locally. I've always found copilot to be a little behind a lot of the other models, especially when it comes to on-device processing. But you can do a lot of basic chat bot things on device here. If you want to generate images or anything more advanced, you'll need to be signed in and on the internet. Audio is pretty decent for a laptop. It's not mind blowing but it has some decent volume and even a little bit of bass. I'll still be using headphones. Keyboard and trackpad both feel pretty nice as well. The track pad is huge but I haven't noticed an insane number of palm detection while typing (I haven't seen any palm detection while writing this review). The keyboard feels about as nice as it can for a laptop keyboard. I obviously still prefer a nice mechanical keyboard but sacrifices need to be made for portable gaming sometimes. The size of the keyboard is standard and I haven't had any issues with typing. Bottom line, this is a power machine. Aside from the little hiccup I had getting things set up for the first time, everything has been pretty smooth. Gaming performance, when using DLSS, is pretty fantastic for such a sleek laptop. I'm a pretty big fan and am excited to extend my gaming to my couch when I feel like it. It's not cheap but what good computing device is these days? If you're in the market for a top of the line machine and you have the budget for this one, give it a look for sure.

powerful laptop, but crashes every time it goes to sleep or hibernates. Wouldn’t be an issue if it wasn’t a laptop.

The ROG Zephyrus G16 with a 5070 Ti is a masterclass of impeccable power and precision in a gaming laptop. From the speaker layout, the weight of its CNC machined aluminum alloy design, and the harmony of hardware included to its stunning OLED display, this device is a pleaser. Out of the box, the craftsmanship is hard not to notice. This is my third ROG gaming laptop over the past few years. Trust me when I tell you this one is the best design, I have personally seen them execute. I will note that a couple of years ago, I liked the pattern on the M16’s exterior a bit more, but it was just an etched graphic design on the lid. The 2025 G16, however, features the Slash, which is unique and customizable. The G16 is surprisingly lightweight at just over four pounds, five-ish with the power supply, which is something I have not experienced with any of my other gaming laptops, no matter what the brand or manufacturer is. This makes this laptop the most portable notebook I have, outside of a simple web enabled laptop. The battery is suitable for general use, but it's best to plug in when gaming because NVIDIA will consume a lot of power. The keyboard is a single RGB backlit design that is customizable through the Armory. The keys are a bit softer than I really like, but I like my clicking to be heard across the house. The mouse track pad is massive and responsive enough, but it is not one of the unit's brag points. One of the most surprising aspects of the ROG Zephyrus G16 that I want to note before moving on is the sound output. As mentioned, I have had a couple of other iterations from the Zephyrus series, and none of them sounded this good. As a matter of fact, again, like the overall weight of the unit, I have never had another notebook produce the sound quality and max volume output that this G16 makes. I typically use peripheral speakers, but they're not necessary, even in noisy environments. I would generically say something like where the Zephyrus G16 truly shines is in the performance, but it is actually second to its sound. This laptop has been reunited with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor and a ferocious NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. I was able to choose the 5070 Ti over some other offerings, and I am glad I did. This unit is really optimized for the 5070 Ti because it has a cap on power usage. All the benchmarking specs I observed showed that this unit is going to outperform other units in the same class ranking under certain conditions. With the i9 Ultra and the 5070 Ti using 12Gb VRAM on 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, you are able to maximize a snappy and responsive pairing for all the premiere gaming titles on the market, use any number of editing software packages, and all other programs with unmatched precision and ease of use without bogging your system down. As a daily driver, when combined with the internal Wi-Fi 7, your web browsing load times are almost non-existent even for uncached sites. As a work device, I use the full array of Office packages. I can seamlessly move between massive data field Excel files and multi-slide PowerPoint while editing down video presentations for my Stream uploads. If you go above the 5070 Ti, you will not achieve the maximum output of that higher-end hardware, and the opposite is true if you go lower. You then, are not truly recognizing the potential of the components as a whole in this unit. Then let's talk about the display… I do not think stunning is a good enough adjective. That said, I will say that next to a high-end television at a store, this is the most beautiful screen I have ever seen. The native 2560 x 1600 2.5K screen delivers the most vibrant color shades and truest blacks, making every gaming session more intense and immersive. Make no mistake that this is a top-tier, high-quality gaming laptop at a premium price point. With these variables in mind, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025 edition) with the 5070 Ti is able to achieve maximum performance per dollar spent. It's a marvel of design and performance that's a definitive choice for creative professionals, hardcore gamers, or anyone looking for something that meets both of these needs without feeling outdated next month. I highly recommend the 2025 Zephyrus G16 (with the 5070 Ti 😊).

La compre y se quedo en el inicio y nunca la pude usar

I love the ASUS ROG Zephyrus line. I have had several of the previous generations. I honestly believe that the 2024 version of the Zephyrus G16 was the best gaming laptop of 2024. I was so hypted for this year's version. I think it gets so many things right, but it has some small deficiencies. Given that this is supposed to be a competition of the top-tier gaming laptops (and how much money you are spending), I think nitpicking is appropriate. Out of the box, the Zephyrus G16 is, in my opinion, the most beautiful laptop I have seen. There are not too many big aesthetic changes from the 2024 version which as I said was a laptop I absolutely fell in love with. All laptops these days follow the trend set by a certain fruit-named tech company for sleek thin aluminum bodies. Apparently, the G16 is slightly thicker by 2 mm compared to last year but if you liked the design last year, then you will like the design this year. The display is absolutely stunning. The 2.5K OLED display is just great. If you are used to IPS panels, you will immediately just notice just how much the colors pop. In addition, the 240 Hz refresh is just so pleasing to the eye. Everything is just smoother. I think once you get spoiled by this display, everything else feels inferior. The keyboard is nice. There is good tactile feedback, and I really enjoyed typing on it. The trackpad is absolutely gigantic and is very responsive. The speakers are hands down the best speakers that I have heard on a laptop, bar none. They get absolutely loud but still maintain a clean and crisp experience. Battery life is not bad but not class leading by any means. In terms of performance, you are working with an Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 processor and Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti. That is where I think the weakness lies...the Intel processor. It is a relatively underperforming processor compared to its peers. The processor can also get quite hot with the fans getting fairly loud and annoying whiny. Part of this is certainly a sacrifice that has to be made with the sleek design. That being said, gaming performance was still solid. All in all, I think the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is ALMOST a perfect laptop with some minor critiques.

There is much to like about the G16. The OLED screen is gorgeous. The keyboard is a pleasure to type on for those that need a dual-use laptop. The Ultra 9 processor makes even the most difficult of tasks seem like a breeze. 32 gigs of RAM. Plenty of inputs/outputs. Some of the best built-in speakers I've heard on a laptop. The RTX 5070ti graphics card is amazing, handling games at framerates I had not seen before. The design of the G16 has not changed much on the outside, and it looks exactly like my ROG Zephyrus from 2024. But the internals have definitely been upgraded, and the move from the 4000 series RTX cards to the 5070Ti has taken a good gaming laptop and moved it into an epic one. I have played a huge assortment of games over the last couple of weeks, all played on high settings at 1440P. Doom Dark Ages, Cyberpunk 2077, Black Ops 6; playing these games was an absolute blast. In most cases I was hitting 60 FPS, and in some cases I really challenged the 5070Ti GPU but moving up into the 200 FPS range on some games (Ultra setting on Black Ops 6). The built in speakers are some of the best I've heard on a laptop. They get loud, they go deep, and they sound great. The fans do come on and get ripping pretty good, but they are not the loudest I've heard. I didn't experience any throttling, even when temps were hitting mid-90's Celsius. I do wish that the laptop had a more premium feel. For the amount of cash outlay, some brushed aluminum or something to give a premium feel and heft would be nice. Next to my wife's similarly priced laptop with a fruity name, the G16 feels a little cheap. The AMOLED screen is gorgeous, but the bright colors and definition of my wife's laptop screen do top it. But fire up a GPU-intense game, and that is where The G16 shows its true colors. A very fun laptop to use.

Tried to run Black Ops on this laptop. couldn't handle it keep freezing and lagging and crashing.

First day product froze up on me.. Had to return it back to the store.

This thing is a true king in gaming laptops right now. The specs are everything you need and then some. 240hz OLED screen is just beautiful and the colors really pop. Paired with a 5070ti GPU keeps the frames quite high. I run a 7900XTX 24g on my desktop and this mobile GPU goes neck and neck with it. It does get a little warm when gaming but well within reason and keeps running along like a champ. With 32gb Ram plenty for anything you can throw at it and the new i7 hasn't hit full use yet. I can run The Finals at an easy 200fps on this thing and it just looks buttery smooth. WiFi 7 makes sure I can get the best speeds but also has onboard 2.5g nic for those of you that prefer a hardwire connection. PCI Gen5 Nvme means file transfers are insanely fast along with minimal boot times (talking seconds here). Battery on this thing will blow your mind. I can get 6-7 hours of usage (not gaming mind you) so I'd cut that estimate in half or more for actual gaming. One feature that really stands out is the RGB on the outside of the case which can be programmed and can let you know how charged the battery is on a quick glance, super helpful if you are on the go. Weight is pretty light and this thing is so thin I don't know how they packed this much power into something so sleek. I have nothing bad to say about this thing, it really is a king gamer laptop. If it's in your budget, stop looking get it.

The ROG Zephyrus line of laptops has been at the top of many people’s gaming laptop hierarchies for some time now. That’s for good reason, they have a slim form factor, made of premium materials, and offer a strong lineup of performance options. Performance: The most important part of a gaming laptop for most people is how does it perform? Can it run your favorite games at a good, stable frame rate? The laptop I tested was running Nvidia’s RTX 5070ti. This puts it where most enthusiasts call the performance/cost sweet spot. The issue with gaming laptops is that their GPU’s are not a 1:1 performance ratio compared to their desktop counterparts. Instead, they have a lowered voltage level usually done to manage heat within the laptop frame. Obviously a full size desktop will be able to manage heat far better than a slim laptop, so gamers accept this trade off for portability. I think its important to know this because that means jumping from an RTX 5070ti in a laptop, to a 5090 in a laptop will not net you a massive performance jump compared to desktops. The RTX 5070ti is the absolute sweet spot. I was able to play all my favorite games such as OW2, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring Nightreign, and Forza Horizon 5 with no issues. In fact, this laptop ate those games up at 2k resolution, keeping 60 FPS or higher in each game on high to ultra graphics settings. For me, that’s the standard. High resolution, high/ultra graphics, 60+ FPS. If your goal is to have very, very acceptable gameplay performance on the go, the 5070ti will do the job no problem. Chassis: The chassis is all metal and reminds me of a MacBook. It has a similar level of build quality and feel. ASUS did not skimp out on the ports either, you have everything you could possibly need in a gaming laptop. The design is clean, minimalistic, and doesn’t scream I AM A GAMER everywhere you bust it out. That’s a huge plus in my opinion. The speakers are also fantastic, some of the best I have ever heard on a laptop. Additionally, the trackpad is also one of the best I’ve ever seen, especially non-MacBook. The keyboard feels great and does have RGB for those that want some gamer aesthetics in their life. For me, the keyboard does a good job for gaming when you can’t bring a dedicated keyboard with you. Display: The display seems to be mostly a carryover from last years G16, and that’s a good thing. The OLED display pops, the resolution is more than high enough for a laptop, and the refresh rate at 240hz is all you will ever need. Combine that with the powerful CPU/GPU with this display, and you would even have a killer photo/video editing combo. The finish on the display is gloss which I prefer over matte, it gives it a more premium feel. Something to note, its not a touch screen in case that matters to you. Conclusion: I think the renaissance of mature looking, well built, high performing gaming laptops is among us. Everything from the all metal construction, OLED display, strong performance, and good keyboard feel, should send this gaming laptop to the top of your list. If you have been on the fence for a while, now is a great time to jump into high end PC gaming on the go. There are great options out there, and honestly, this might be the best one currently.

I've been using this for the last few days and I have to say it's one of the best gaming laptops I've used. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 dials back the gamer bro look that so many others have and made this into a device 8 can use personally and professionally. It's an all metal build that matches the quality of a certain fruity company. The glyph on the top of the casing is tasteful and gives it that look of it's not just another laptop. The build quality is fantastic, no flexing, no creaking, you can pull open the screen with one hand, the hinges are buttery smooth. As far as build quality goes this is right up there with the best quality laptops. The typing experience is also really nice. The keys do not feel mushy and again I didn't notice any flex in the top deck like you can get with others. The speakers are some of the best I've heard on a Windows machine. They flank each side of the keyboard and fire upwards so you get all the sounds unlike many others who use bottom firing speakers. The display is on another level. It's an OLED 240hz display and everything just looks good. Fron the static desktop to ripping through demons on Doom: The Dark Ages. The black are obviously as black as can be and the vibrancy is just right. Everything just pops on the display. It's definitely one of the nicest displays I've used on a Laptop. It's very much the quality of my desktop Asus ROG OLED monitor. If visuals are a priority then this display will meet your expectations Using the series 2 ultra core 9 and the RTX 5070ti you have plenty of power. Fron editing on Davinci Resolve to screaming around the track on Forza Motorsport it seems to do it all on really high setting with little strain. The 5070ti is much better than I expected. Obviously laptop GPUs are not the same as the desktop counterparts but the GPU really can crank out some wonderful graphics while maintaining smooth frame rates. I also didn't get any issues with heat. I played Battlefront 2 for a solid 2 hours and didn't notice anything slowdown. I'm not going to list out all the specs as Best Buy have all that listed above. But know that this is one of the best 16" laptops on the market today, whether for professional use or purely personal gaming use. It really does tick all the boxes for me and I think you'll love it

This gaming laptop is fantastic for the form factor. A Thin and powerful gaming laptop. Is isn't the most powerful gaming laptop but thats fine. It is premium feeling and looks classy as well. Specs: 16 Inch OLED 240 HZ 2.5K Display 32GB DDR5 Memory 1TB SSD Nividia 5070 Ti 12GB ( VRAM) Intel Core ultra 9 285H This laptop once you set it up looks amazing. The OLED screen is top notch in general and great for a gaming laptop. Never have used a screen like this on a gaming laptop i am used to IPS panels. I mostly play older games so for those this computer has no issues running the game at the highest resolution it can. with the 12GB of VRAM and a 2.5k Display i won't be able to get the power enough to run modern games at the screen refresh rate but you can run a lot of modern games at the native resolution at a respectable frame rate or lower the graphics or resolution for a faster frame rate. Just be warned with this ne chasis that ASUS is using they have solidered on the RAM so you're stuck with what you buy. It used to have 1 slot avaliable but no more.

Great laptop, runs games and handles day to day tasks really well. I purchased the new Blade 16 and this is just a much better experience in almost every way.

My husband uses his computer every day for HOURS! We were so happy that we could order online and have it delivered right to our front door.

I bought this laptop with high expectations, mainly I wanted to be able to run Path of Exile 2 at max settings comfortably. I followed all the steps setting up this machine, installed all windows updates and graphics drivers, updated bios, everything. I even tweaked some settings and monitored temperatures. The machine I received may have been defective. It reached 98F regularly, experienced thermal throttling, and had white flashes on the screen when games were minimized. It could barely run POE2 on max settings, certainly not with DLAA enabled. The FPS would dip severely and the game stuttered about as bad as my 1070 ti desktop. Unbelievable for a machine 4 generations newer and considering the cost. Returned.

For a 5070 laptop Priced at 2600 is crazy I would honestly wait till black friday or go with the 4070, or build your own laptop or computer tower. Prices should not be this expensive, hopefully they lower it down.
