Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think this laptop is great! I'm upgrading from the previous with 16gb of ram and a rtx 4070. I need more ram and little more GPU power for my personal project needs and gaming. I think this specific model of this laptop is the sweet spot. It's a very nice all metal light weight laptop I can travel with and still have enough power to play my favorite games with good settings and fps. The OLED screen is amazing, the keyboard is very nice, touch pad is very sleek, and the speakers are great. The only thing about this laptop that technology hasn't been able to solve yet is that it can be loud under 100% load at full power draw. Under normal load and casual internet browsing, YouTube, coding, twitch, all of it is quiet. I don't have any problems so far with this laptop. I don't think anyone who gets this will be disappointed. If it fits your needs I think you'll like this laptop.

I've only had it a few weeks, but so far it's phenomenal. It's fast, video is smooth even at UHD. Gaming, streaming, personal office tasks...it doesn't matter. I'm impressed with the performance. If you're thinking about it, it's a great choice.

The computer meets my expectations. The display is beautiful but very prone to scratches. It's a quieter computer compared to other competitors. The materials are of very good quality. For some reason, the silent mode works better for photo and video editing, and in moderation, it's perfect for certain situations. I recommend it if you're looking for power and portability.

I absolutely am in love with my new Asus ROG Zephyrus 16’ laptop. 32gb ram and 1tb storage. It’s super fast and has a beautiful display. The battery last me a solid 10 hours I would say between charges. Has everything I wanted and the light strip on the top view is a nice touch. Highly recommend. The staff at the Best Buy location I bought it from was also top notch! Shoutout to Morgan for being so patient with me and helping me out!

This was my first gaming laptop that I’ve have ever purchased. I am really impressed with the performance, built quality, screen resolution and how well it handles games and 3D modeling software. It was a good choice for me since it was on sale and needed a decent computer for designing 3D modeling. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a new powerful laptop at a reasonable price.

After device breaking issues with two different Strix, I decided to go with this rig. Looking back it was a blessing in disguise. The quality and finish of the Zephyrus is far better, and other than a few power shifting issues (i.e. from iGPU to GPU can be finicky with my setup) and some tuning to get the most out of it, it's great. Once all was sorted I fell in love. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard feels nice, and the trackpad is great. I prefer the trackpad to the MBP my wife got at the same time. I'm scoring around 16k combined on Timespy touching 87c gpu (using my settings), albeit fans maxing at 68c and allowing for airflow. This is about half of my desktop i9/4090 setup and very impressive. My actual gaming settings are lower, but it flies. In most gaming scenarios, with custom fan curve and settings, the 5070ti is staying nice and cool under 70c. Modern AAA games it can get a bit warm, but can be solved with a blower pad if you have concerns. I have not experienced any negative in-game effects from thermals to this point playing BL4 or BF6. All that said, due to it's profile, there are limitations. Without a secondary blower you are going to run into thermal limits before you max out the hardware. If intending on this being a desktop replacement I would recommend getting an llano or iets to get the most out of it. This introduces noise, so you would need to be comfortable with increased fan noise. Candidly I have not tested the results of adding one, but even with this being a secondary device, I plan to get one to make sure I get the most out of it. Other nice surprises - Silent Mode at 35w with boost off is plenty quick for day to day tasks and I have gotten at least 7 hours of battery life according to the system. I've not gotten lower than 40% after a few days of light to moderate use so couldn't tell you the actual. It's enough for me. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the finish. I don't love the gaudy gaming laptops and this appears like a high end device, not a toy. TL:DR - Screen's great, finish is lovely. It's quick, but will likely need a little bit of enthusiast experience to get the most out of it. It's profile introduces thermal limits, but either through settings or a blower this should be able to be minimized.

Stunning laptop. Yea the price is high but this is an incredible machine. The display is gorgeous. OLED makes a huge difference for you hard visual advocates. The best thing about the guy is that it makes the most of its internal components and gives exceptional gaming performance all while only weighing 5 pounds. Its cooling system is premium although still recommend using a cooling pad for gaming. Every device that puts out serious energy is going to create heat so yes it can get hot but the design of this guy makes it where you can still have this thing in your bear skin lap at peak temperatures and be fine. It has a premium build all around and puts my iMac to shame. 16 inch screen is a perfect size and the device can be used as a console just by connecting to a compatible monitor or TV. Great job ASUS. Thank you

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is a premium gaming laptop that i love it's high-end performance with a sleek, portable design. As a gamers and creative professionals, the G16 stands out for its powerful hardware, impressive display, and robust build quality.

Overall great mobile laptop for gaming and handles everyday computer tasks with ease. It does run hot with demanding games but the fans are actually very tolerable compared to some. Runs COD like a champ

Exactly what I was looking for -- a laptop that can do it all. I was looking for a gaming laptop that could play all the demanding titles with ease, while also bringing to the table good battery life, a solid soundstage, and an excellent display. This is it, folks -- wonderful laptop. Hoping the longevity is there, but very satisfied so far.

I’m a civil engineer and this ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 works great both on site and in the office. It runs AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D and structural software smoothly, and the RTX GPU speeds up 3D views and renderings. The OLED screen is sharp for reviewing plans, it’s light enough to carry to site visits, and the 1 TB SSD handles large projects easily. Fans get a bit loud under heavy load, but overall it’s a fast, reliable and very capable work laptop.

I will say I love this Laptop. It does run very hot to touch but I purchased a cooling pad from Best Buy to help ensure everything stays cool. This laptop has incredible graphics and the built in speakers are much better than I expected. The OLED screen is a massive win with its clarity and eye catching colors that even someone like me that usually games on a large monitor due to my vision helps me see and compete in matches with the smaller laptop screen. I gave this 5 stars because there wasn't a 4.5 option. I only docked it by.5 due to the heat which is an easy fix.

The ASUS Zephyrus G16, a 2025 model, is an outstanding laptop with an incredibly brilliant OLED display, powered by a powerful Intel Ultra 9 processor and the outstanding Nvidia RTX 5070Ti Graphics Card. The 1TB SSD, coupled with the 32GB of Ram, and 12GB of VRAM, effortlessly handles Windows 11 Home applications and power-hungry Games. In fact, I downloaded Call of Duty Special Ops 7, and ran the Game without difficulty in the Performance Mode, which can be accessed and easily fine tuned with the built-in ASUS Armoury screen. There is no excessive heat during Gaming, and fan noise could only be heard without headphones. I liked this laptop so much that I also purchased the ASUS headphones, and then the fantastic ASUS Raikiri-2 Gaming controller. ASUS has certainly nailed it with this model, and I highly recommend it along with the ASUS Headphones and Raikiri-2 Controller. If you want the best, along with affordability, by this ASUS model!

Bought this to replace a 2014 laptop, this was my first gaming laptop and the reason why I chose this was because of the great battery life and portability. This also has some of the best specs for gaming.

The laptop is of premier quality, the keyboard is smooth, and the OLED display is great for high-quality gaming and streaming. This game can handle high-end games easily! Would definitely recommend at the price point.

Such an amazing laptop for the price. Display amazing battery life amazing power amazing overall an amazing laptop.

This is my 2nd gaming laptop and my 1st high-end laptop. My eyes were really into the Lenovo Legion laptops but they don’t have it in store so I ended up with this model. I like the minimalist design it feels like a mac, feels premium. Loving the screen, tried playing Ghost of Tsushima and Black Myth Wukong and both look so good (everything looks good). Specs and performance, I haven’t played long enough to feel the drop in performance (like heat throttle).

This thing is a beast. I have no complaints about game performance. Temps can get high (80-90 CPU, 70-80 GPU) but that is normal for a laptop. When on battery life there is no fan noise and it lasts quite long (although I haven't done a full test, just looked at wattage draw). Also, the speakers are some of the best I have heard. Definitely opt for gHelper over armory crate, it is just better. The only complaint I have is some noise around the hinges, but that doesn't warrant it losing a star.

Great for gaming and any type of 3D modeling that I throw at it. Been using it for the past few weeks, it’s light and easy to carry around with me. Great laptop

Before you read the title and look at the price and think "HUH?", allow me to clarify - this is CHEAP..ly made. The price is anything from it. Funny enough, the price was actually a couple hundred dollars lower until certain government things went into play and it landed where it is today. Bureaucracy aside, this thing runs HOT. I don't mean "well, duh, it's a gaming laptop" hot, I mean you can turn it on, leave it flat on a desk and allow the vents (raised by speedbumps on the bottom chassis) to do their thing, open Steam (not a game, just the launcher), and hear the jet engines fire up. Just downloading a game will push the CPU enough to need a fan on in the room - that's ridiculous for a laptop. It comes pre-installed with all your favorite ASUS bloatware - MyASUS, Armoury Crate, AURA Sync, etc. The Windows install itself takes forever, oddly enough, coupled in with any updates and ASUS registration screens - it took a solid 45 minutes before I was actually able to USE the laptop. The OLED screen leaves a lot to be desired if you've used an actual OLED monitor - both less-than-vibrant images and mediocre refresh rate unless you bypass the recommended power settings and/or leave it plugged in all the time. At that point, you might as well invest in a PC - one at the price of this laptop will hang around for a few years, actually. It's not all bad, though. The speakers are fairly balanced. While annoying as bloatware, the lighting options are fun (although the cover light effects seem entirely pointless). Although the keys themselves are a tough sell for a GAMING laptop, they are smooth to the touch and at least responsive. The trackpad, on the other hand, is a whole other beast with how it is TOO responsive - at some point I felt like I was playing a theremin with how it was responding to just the air between it and my palm. 3 hours on balanced mode off charger? Not bad, but always feels bad on these "gaming" laptops. ASUS products serve me well in my custom-built gaming PC but take factors like government taxes, the price bloat of RTX 50s, the portability of a laptop, and ASUS seemingly cheaping out on thermals, and this is not one of their proudest moments.
