Customers are saying

Customers find value in the ROG Zephyrus G16's exceptional screen quality, overall performance, and impressive battery life for a gaming laptop. Its portability, elegant design, and processor speed are also appreciated, along with a sufficient port count. However, some customers have noted concerns about fan noise and high temperatures during operation. Despite these drawbacks, the laptop's combination of power and weight is considered outstanding.

    This high-performance laptop seems perfect for software development and gaming. Its sleek, lightweight design feels premium to the touch, while the powerful graphics card delivers impressive performance. The large, crystal-clear display enhances both work and entertainment experiences. However, my shopping experience has been disappointing due to persistent delivery issues. Despite waiting nearly a month, I still haven't received the product. To make matters worse, the discount period has ended, adding to my frustration. I hope the retailer resolves this soon.

    If you essentially want a Mac Book Pro 16 but running native Windows, this is it. The 5070ti is the sweet spot on this device due to wattage restrictions on the GPU. It does get a bit loud if you push the device, but running in silent mode does give....ok gaming experience without noise. Performance mode is the best noise to performance ratio. Turbo is just too much noise for me. Overall, fantastic device if you can look past the premium price.

    Asus ROG RTX 5070ti laptop

    I recently picked up the ASUS ROG laptop with the RTX 5070 Ti GPU from Best Buy, and it's been nothing short of incredible. The graphics performance is top-tier—smooth frame rates on ultra settings for AAA titles, and excellent cooling keeps temps in check during long sessions. The display is crisp and vibrant, making games and media look stunning. Build quality is solid, with that signature ROG design that feels premium and futuristic. Boot times are lightning-fast thanks to the SSD, and multitasking is effortless with the powerful CPU-GPU combo. Whether you're gaming, streaming, or doing creative work, this machine handles it all with ease. Highly recommend this laptop to anyone serious about performance and reliability. Great buy at Best Buy!

    I really wanted to like this laptop; its performance was great for a laptop, and the screen is top tier. Unfortunately, it had so many tedious things. The first issue was powering it on. At first, I had no issues, but then after a single day, I would have to plug it in just to power it on, and then I could use it. I'm not sure what caused this, but the issues started after doing a BIOS update and updating Windows, etc. The second issue was power modes; they never saved, and every use, I would have to change all my settings back to what I liked. Third came down to noise levels. I get it's a thin gaming laptop, but if you wanted max performance, the fan curves, preset or custom, were all over the place. I kept this laptop for the better part of a week, and I tried my best to like it, but after so many issues kept stacking up any time I used it, I finally just got tired of it and returned it. Also, a warning: if purchased online, at least from my experience, UPS did not like delivering a high-value package, and after two days of difficulties, I finally got them to leave it at a drop-off point, but I unfortunately lost 40 bucks I spent on the faster shipping.

    Great laptop. Display is very clear not only for gaming but also for school work. Good battery life for all day schoolwork and a bit less if your playing games.

    Incredible machine. I purchased this computer as I needed a strong machine for business computing needs as I deal with a lot of data. I had used a similar machine at a previous employer, just with less RAM, and liked it. I would 10/10 recommend this computer if the price isn't a concern.

    At first is a bit hard to get used to because it’s heavier than a normal laptop and the battery life is fairly short. If you’re willing to look past those things is a well rounded machine it works well for me with gaming, college, art, and coding.

    This seems like the best option out there if youre looking for a high end gaming laptop that is both lightweight and does not have the typical gamer laptop look. I havent played anything that pushes the hardware to the max. Playing games like powerwash simulator, the chassis does not even get hot. Very happy with it.

    Solid laptop so far, I'm happy with the 5070ti, the asus armour crate has its inconveniences with the different performance levels for the GPU and ignoring that the dedicated gpu exists because of this, but it was solved easily, nothing crazy. Build quality is nice, screen is beautiful, I dont know if I love the keyboard...could be better, but other than that its goo
