Amazing Labtop , everyone install Ghelper !!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im a pc builder , gamer since nes days . I have a 4090 desktop but need a portable labtop for travel , or even if i want to be with my family in the living room . I will not go into specs as specs are listed , this is an amazing labtop once you fine tune it as performnace profiles dont align with armory crate and thats wny everyone posting bad reviewes . First install firmware 322 . Its a must to iron out majority of the bugs . Second unistall armory crate and my asus app . Once you do that install G-hleper . It will one free up your system ram as it doesnt use much its a exe file not an app . Once you do that you will be able to truly enjoy this machine . Also make sure you use not a labtop cooler as what most people dont know that this labtop thermal design is that it sucks air through the keyboard and vents out from the back , so you should blow air back to the system . Having said that best thing is do use a stand . Relative cheap invesment i get around 75-79 on the CPU in heavy gaming sessions and about 78-82 on the GPU . Yes this labtop will overheat if not tilted . The 95 watts TGP on this 4070 barely affects it if you setup Ghelper . I get around 6 to 7 hours on video playback , internet browsing etc on silent mode while on optimus . Higly recommend this labtop !!

So powerful. Such a good laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing laptop. I got it for $1400 (with tax $1500) and it’s the biggest steal ever. Even if you can’t get that price, this laptop is so powerful, and just awesome. The battery doesn’t last longer than 3 hours but that’s to be expected with such a powerful laptop. The screen quality is out of this world. I’ve never seen a screen so high quality and you will notice it if you buy this thing. Seriously it’s a beast and you’ll probably never have to upgrade for multiple years so it’s a great buy!

The first real MacBook Pro killer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new G16 is not just a great gaming laptop, it’s a great laptop. I am totally blown away by the redesign. The speakers, keyboard, and trackpad, are finally on par or better (the keyboard at least) than a MacBook Pro. The screen is absolutely incredible. I’ve never gamed on an OLED and I am ruined because I don’t want to game on any other screen anymore. Even though it’s only 16”, I”d rather game on this than any other screen in my house. One great thing about it being so small is it’s able to sustain higher brightness levels in everyday tasks, unlike desktop OLED monitors. Another thing is the text clarity is great and a non-issue at this resolution and size. The only issue I had was the fans were constantly running no matter what I was doing, even in silent mode. Not very audible, but still, I expect a silent laptop if it’s in silent mode…I downloaded the third-party G-Helper program and changed the fan curve to turn on at slightly higher temps and that mostly solved the issue. Still, I think it could use a little tuning from the factory. Maybe the models with the better cooling performs better. Also, the build quality could be slightly more refined. There is no notch to put your finger in to open the laptop like on a MacBook, and the hinge is quite loose in comparison with some audible creaking. Still, these are minor nitpicks but something they could improve. All in all, it’s absolutely incredible. I no longer even want to use a MacBook, not when this has as good or better keyboard/trackpad/speakers/weight and definitely a better screen.

Amazingly fast but high heating issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Amazing performance. Smooth gameplay. Light weight. Easy to carry. Good display. Cons: Heating issues within 30 - 45 mins of gameplay of Counter Strike GO 2.0 Armory crate uses a lot of memory and slows the stuff.

Overall Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful graphics, and worked great for retail WoW, Fortnite, and some others. After using it for POE 2, it just couldn’t keep up. Had Geek Squad help me optimize it, and still had serious lag and freezes after. RAM is not upgradable like on old versions. You can use this and be very happy with most games.

Great Notebook
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great notebook in that sweet spot of some games and daily use. It gets very hot make sure your using it on a table or laptop cooler. The screen is so great, the keyboard is good, better than the HP OMEN counterpart. I was really surprised by the sound system. An all-around good laptop.

Zephyrus G16: A Top-Tier Choice for Gamers in 2025
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is a seriously impressive gaming laptop. The 16" OLED display is the standout feature—colors look amazing, the contrast is sharp, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes everything from competitive shooters to casual games feel incredibly smooth. Performance is strong across the board. The Intel Ultra 9 and RTX 4070 combo handles modern titles with no problem, even on higher settings. Multitasking is quick thanks to the 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and the 1TB SSD gives plenty of fast storage for games and files. The Eclipse Gray design looks clean and premium, and the laptop is surprisingly lightweight for the power it packs. It stays reasonably cool under load, though you’ll definitely hear the fans during more intense sessions. Battery life is average for a gaming machine—fine for light use but not the selling point. Overall, the Zephyrus G16 is a great choice if you want excellent performance, a top-tier display, and a sleek, portable build. It’s a solid upgrade for gaming, content creation, or everyday use.

Very good machine, just not for me.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Screen was beautiful. The machine wasn't too heavy. What made me change from a G16 to a G14 ... 1. Standby battery life 2. Heat from the machine during normal/light task 3. Speaker/eletircal noise/pop coming from the unit 4. Unable to use 4TB NVMe In the end, if you get a flawless machine, you will enjoy it.

A Decent Laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A wonderfully quick machine with a smaller than expected footprint. mid- to- high tier internals with a snappy screen. This is an excellent buy for students and content creators who need a mobile platform that can perform rather well. the only con I can offer up is the sizable brick of a charger you WILL need to carry around. but, with that said, it's still a respectable, light weight laptop that can keep up with most tasks.

Good, but not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a decent laptop but it has its flaws. Ram is soldered so you’re stuck with what you get, the screen hinges should be a bit tighter, and the 4070 model doesn’t have the vapor chamber cooling system like the 4080 / 4090. The super loud fan noise was addressed in the latest bios update so the noise isn’t as bad as it used to be.

When you can’t choose. Get the ASUS ROG Zephyrus
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great first gaming laptop. Comparing to console im very happy I made the change. The customizing for each game is over the top. More than enough storage I have 5 AAA games on the laptop. The interface is easy to use. The big touchpad is more than enough. In turbo mode it isn’t terribly loud. Twice as quiet as I was expecting. I had a console that would wake the wife up when late night gaming. The wife only woke up once cause the screen was to bright. Which is saying something! 4070 graphic card is amazing. The 240hz screen makes gaming super smooth. 16 inch screen still fits in my backpack, but is so immersive when playing Games. 16GB is more than enough for playing games I would recommend this to any one very good bang for the buck.

Asus does it again
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.And unbelievable product at a great price. If you have the money this is the one to get. A gorgeous OLED screen, a fantastic form factor, and 32 gigs of RAM which in my opinion should be the minimum on any of these devices. My only complaint once again is that they solder the Ram on so you can't upgrade it. Why these companies do this, it's beyond me. You can never have enough RAM and you can ever have enough storage space so they should make it so you can increase them as your budget allows.

Mac competitor
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll start off by saying that I am a long time Mac user, and Windows computers have never appealed to me. However, I started looking for a PC since I’m a S/W engineer and gamer, and tried a few out that I didnt care for. I just missed that premium Macbook feel… until I found this. I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this laptop. It feels premium, the screen is beautiful, and it’s very light for a 15-16” laptop. I’ll see how it fares over time, but so far I’m very impressed.
