The Laptop looks and feels good and well built. However, just as the other comments, the NVIDIA 5070 is defective. Computer crashed multiple times with a rendering software (Twinmotion) can’t even install the latest version of the software, leading to a crash and a blue screen a WATCHDOG VIOLATION error. Also it crashed when opening a game from Xbox Or PC. All fingers pointed to NVIDIA defective cards and missing ROPs which they claimed it affected the 0.5% of the 5000 series cards. I returned the laptop and wating for a replacement which I’ll be getting in 2 days. If the problem persist then I’ll return again and get a different laptop.

This laptop was bought for my son for college. It's fantastic and everything that he'll need for his engineering classes. The graphics are awesome and the speed is fast as well. He did try some of his games on it and those performed to his liking too so it's a win win all around. The only problem is that he now has a much better laptop than his parents...

Everything looks good and worth the money... please be aware of defective graphic cards of NVIDIA 50 series ... check for ROPs count by installing GPU-Z...Everone should get the good GPU for what we paid for.. I have returned mine and waiting for exchange.

Beautiful display and powerful graphics. Battery life isn’t great out of the box which stops it from being a MacBook replacement.

Asus G16 5070ti Review
|

Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Alright so to start the laptop itself is very nice, screen is absolutely amazing, Keyboard feels great, speakers sound fantastic, even the chassis feels really solid, and lastly fan noise is good silent when doing basic things and can be loud during heavy loads....
Currently thats about were the good things end. Out of the box it gets decent battery life AC (Armory Crate) and the asus bloat can be very draining.
However, AC for my laptop isn't showing PL1 or PL2 controls, which means the laptop CPU will instantly jump to 110w and almost hit 100C within 20seconds, and begin throttling, and if the gpu is loaded up the head combined will be almost too much for the system. (No Ghelper will not change the PL1 or PL2 either already tried). It also has a function to allow windows to control power but disables the fan profile so even on a balanced profile it gets over 95C almost instantly doing 65w on the CPU because windows doesnt spin up the fan properly for the load...
Next problem if you use Davinci Resolve and want to render and were planning to use this for Cuda don't I tried everything and couldnt get it to complete 1 render on the 5070TI... integrated graphics no problem on rendering just takes a pinch longer....
Also had issues with it switch between dGPU and IGPU and not passing process currently to the dGPU on switch over when plugged in.
I did have the whole system crash and shutdown mid-test on turbo mode so that was cool....
All this wouldn't be the end of the world except that, these laptops were supposed to release almost 4months ago and they kept getting delayed partly due to NVIDIA screw up with the 50series ROPs missing and supply delay. At this stage of the game the G16 which isn't a new line feels like its software is in early Beta Version that ASUS took previous years software throw it on here and was like no need to test our users will do that.
I am going to give it another week now that others are getting the laptop but I have my doubts this will get corrected anytime soon, as I have seen the desktop 50series has been nothing, but problems and I was hoping the laptops would be better shame.... will probably be returning this laptop and either getting the last generation with a 40series or getting a Lenovo legion gaming laptop.... If any of the above does change and I keep it I will update my review.

Dear Joshua,
Thank you for your feedback.
We do understand your disappointment with the laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are having issues. If you are experiencing issues with this laptop, check if Windows, drivers, BIOS, games and applications are up to date. Updates for the ROG Ally are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g16-2025-gu605/helpdesk_download/. Additionally, check if you are running the most current Armoury Crate utility software. You may need to reconfigure your system, video, games and performance mode settings, not to go beyond the game's threshold, to minimize overheating. The most current version is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/. While accessing cloud games or web applications, please ensure the device has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will affect system stability and performance. Keeping the laptop always updated will maintain optimum system stability and performance. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "MyASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the laptop, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/.
