I liked the laptop, and the design, except the lid was too flimsy and I hated the slash. The one I received had a slit bend in the lid and would not lay completely flat. I returned it for the new Blade 16 OLED 4080. A couple hundred more but the blade build quality is better and stiffer. The blade 4080 performs much better than this 4090 with full 175w capabilities and the same battery life. The G16 4090 was hitting around 17900 in timespy, and the blade 16 4080 cranks out consistent 19000-19300 runs. The blade is heavier but that’s fine. The G16 speakers are incredible, slightly better than the blade 16 OLED speakers.

I appreciate its thinness and lightness and its understated design. The display looks great and speakers sounds very good. My only issue with it is the trackpad noise when you click or even tap to click. It seems there is an airgap between the glass and the switch. Also based on comments in forums it is quite a common issue.

I wanted a computer with the display and sound of a MacBook and power similar to that of my PC workstation for under $3,000. This is exactly what I was looking for. I got it for $500 off and I couldn’t be happier. The Display - Fantastic. Resolution is great - I don’t think I would notice if it were any higher. HDR content looks amazing. On par with Mac. Speakers - Really great. The best I’ve heard on a windows laptop by far. Not quite as good as MacBook but still great. Blender and Render - I got the 4090 version which was on sale for the price of the 4080. Going into it I knew the GPU is under powered in order to be delivered in this price range at this form factor. I have a workstation with a 4070 ti which is a little faster than a normal-powered laptop 4080 according to blender benchmark. I was hoping for that same speed from this since it’s a little underpowered. It ended up being even with my 4070 ti which I’m really happy about. You can put more power into the GPU using G-Helper but since I’m letting this render for extended amounts of time that little bit of speed is not worth the overload for me. All in all - This laptop is great and I would definitely recommend. Would I pay full price for the 4090 version? I’m not sure. I may opt for the 4080 at that price point. GHelper note I do recommend using G-Helper instead of armorycrate but I suggest familiarizing yourself with the settings in armorycrate first as I overlooked a few things like color profiles and whatnot in G-Helper due to the condensed interface. G-Helper is really nice for dialing in and switching quickly between different profiles. I set up one to keep the temps down to a spot I was comfortable leaving it rendering overnight at the cost of fan noise and a little cpu power - One for normal video editing or animation work - One to keep it really silent when I’m working in a quiet environment. These were similar to the defaults but G-Helper made them really simple to dial in and toggle between. Plus the FN lock is a huge plus.

When the new G14 and G16 models were announced with high refresh rate OLED screens, with Gsync included I was super excited, especially when it became apparent how thin these were going to be, as portability is huge for me. How ever when this arrived I was a little disappointed. The fans ran constantly even when I was barely doing anything. I may have just had a bum model idk, but it made it nearly unusable. Also the black RGB keyboard did not look nearly as nice as the white variants for some reason, I could never find the right color to compliment the looks of the laptop for some reason. Also I was impressed with how thin it was, but for some reason this new 16” form factor seems to be such a larger footprint than the old 15” form factor. I am sure it would be great for a desktop replacement, but I already also have a desktop, and this just felt almost too big to use on my lap when I am away from my desk. I actually ended up taking this back and going with the new 2024 G14 Zephyrus instead in white, as it felt so much more portable, the white aesthetics are stunning, and I am guessing due to the Ryzen processor it typically runs much quieter during normal tasks like web browsing etc.

Build quality is excellent, it is really impressive that a light and compact machine are able to pull off such performance. That said, this machine runs really hot despite low cpu utilization, the cpu boosts itself like there's no tomorrow, even after limiting cpu wattage you will still need a cooling pad to bring the cpu temperature down to 70s. A lot of issues with drivers and firmware too, from time to time the machine the laptop would fail to find audio, you have to reboot it to fix the issue. It also fails to switch between different performance modes from time to time and you have to toggle it back and forth. Overall a great machine but with a lot of minor driver issues.

Amazing laptop. Powerful enough to play sny game at max settings, yet sophisticated and sleek enough to feel like a Macbook Pro. Coming from someone who almost exclusively used Apple laptops, this feels like the best of both worlds. Fans get loud and it gets hot when gaming, but managable with a cooling pad.

Great laptop battery, OLED, light weight, 4090 GPU So really can't go wrong with this device

TL;DR The ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is a high-end/high-quality gaming and multimedia laptop with an extremely beautiful OLED display while boasting some amazing speakers. If you are in the market for an upgrade or simply looking to purchase a new gaming/content creating powerhouse laptop that is also compact and premium; the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) will fit most if not all of your wants and needs. – I have to first talk about the build quality of the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) which is a thing of beauty. The laptop is very minimalistic and compact (besides the slash lighting on the lid which can be programmed or completely turned off). Now when I say compact, I mean this only weighs 4.3lbs and is 1.7cm thick! The feel and look of the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is nothing short of “premium”. It features a beautiful aluminum case body that personally really reminds me of an Apple MacBook Pro with its rounded edges. Now don’t let the looks fool you folks, don’t blink… This compact yet powerful laptop contains an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, Nvidia RTX 4090, 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, 2TB SSD and of course a stunning 16” OLED 240Hz ROG Nebula HDR Display that is NVIDIA G-SYNC ready! – Now when it comes down to performance, one thing to keep in mind is that the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is made to do it all. So what does that mean? It means that it’s not necessarily a full fledged gaming rig. You can already tell based on what I mentioned above about how compact and elegant it looks; it's designed to be more than just a gaming laptop. It’s an on the go minimalistic yet premium and lightweight laptop that can be utilized for professional purposes (like work), content creation as well as gaming. While the gaming performance isn’t blowing everything out of the water, it’s definitely not by any means a last contender. I had the luxury of testing several games such as CS2, Helldivers 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 6, Red Dead Redemption 2 and many others. Most games held over 60fps gaming in QHD+. Long story short in terms of gaming performance, I was able to throw everything at it and thoroughly enjoyed the gaming experience. I also ran some benchmarks and again not mind blowing but also not by any means mediocre. With everything said, please keep in mind that the reason behind why this beauty isn’t outperforming everything is because although the internals are “top of the line”, it has to take a hit somewhere and that somewhere could be things like component power output and airflow due to everything being contained in a thinner chassis. So basically what I am trying to say is a 4090 in the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) isn’t necessarily the same 4090 in a desktop. Now you are probably wondering how the temps are. Thanks to the Vapor Chamber the CPU temps are around mid 80s while the GPU temps are around mid to high 70s (this is while gaming on Performance Mode via ASUS Armoury Crate). Keep in mind you can bump up the performance slightly by changing to Turbo Mode but fans will definitely kick up as temps will rise and don’t forget about fan noise as well. Personally I felt it most comfortable to leave it on Performance Mode. One thing I can recommend (in any case scenario where you are using a laptop for gaming) is trying to elevate/raise the laptop as this will help the fans dissipate the heat which in turn can help with performance (avoiding any possibility of thermal throttling). – Overall, the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is definitely an excellent choice for anyone looking to splurge a bit in a compact yet absolutely stunning laptop. The fact that this thing of beauty can pack all it has in such a light and thin aluminum chassis is outstanding (not to mention the astonishing 16” OLED 240Hz ROG Nebula HDR Display). If you are someone that uses a laptop for work, content creation and gaming; the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) fits the bill.

Great computer, it works perfectly for gaming and cad software. It gets a little hot when gaming, but nothing to be concerned about, it is normal. The screen is really beautiful.

I waited 6-months before writing this review. On the positive side, this computer is very light and portable. Very clean on the look too, which I appreciate it. And great screen resolution. However, it has some major issues for a "gaming laptop". First, performance. I have an older ROG, 3060, 16GB, which performs the same, and sometimes even better than this one. I have no explanation for this, all I can say is that it does not feel as a 3090 32GB... Second, overheating. This is a major thing. The top of the keyboard heats so much under gaming or other demanding activities you cannot even touch it. IT IS HOT! My main concern for this is longevity. Third, small stuff. Doesn't have an ethernet port, it is not upgradeable, the face ID fails ALL the time, and it has awful charging port (square one). Conclusion: If your goal is a portable laptop, that has some power to do some editing or occasional gaming, this might do the trick (although a little pricey for a second pc). But if you are buying this to be your main computer, and you use editing software or games, I would not recommend it. There are other options in this price range.

After trying multiple laptops I finally found the one that fits my needs. This laptop has a great oled display and does fairly decent on games, I’m able to run 70-90 fps on call of duty black ops 6 on max settings, not the best but you can’t beat the stunning graphics. Only reason I give this laptop 4 stars is because how extremely hot this thing gets while running graphic intensive games I cannot even have it on my lap without burning me. But if you are in the market for a laptop for multi use without the gamer look then this is the one for you !

Great laptop for any games thrown at it. It does get a bit hot, but that is a sacrifice for such a great design. The OLED panel is insane and makes me want to look at the laptop more and more.

Great laptop. I didn’t want to spend money on a big desktop to lug around or on a big TV and console either as I tend to move and travel a lot. So I decided to get a gaming laptop as my all in one media consumption device for TV, movies, games, and so forth as well as for work. This laptop is so portable and beautiful, it meets my needs wonderfully. MacBook quality while actually being slightly lighter than a 16 inch MacBook Pro and with the added benefit of not being tied to the Apple ecosystem. Gaming performance is outstanding as well. As for negatives, the battery life is not great(but not terrible either) without making a lot of adjustments to power draw and the like. Honestly, though, let’s be practical, as somebody who has travelled across the globe, I would bet that if you don’t have access to a wall plug then you probably don’t have internet and you probably don’t really need to be looking at any docs or programs you may have saved locally. This still gets the job done fine. The RAM is soldered, so you can’t upgrade it. But I think 16gb has been a more than enough standard for most people since like at least 2016. So, let’s be practical again, at 32gb you aren’t going to need to upgrade any time soon unless you have some very specific professional need for high amounts of RAM that 32gb in your laptop can’t meet. More than likely, you’re going to want to upgrade the laptop by the time you outgrow 32gb of RAM. The GPU has gimped power delivery by default. There are ways around that if you do some googling, however. If you don’t have the tech know how to figure out how to get around that limit, then you won’t actually notice the impact in real world scenarios. I can’t really think of any other negatives. It’s a great laptop.

Awesome Laptop, the best ive ever used and probably will ever use. Alumium chasis, and 240hz OLED is awesome, i would reccomend this laptop at its asking price of $3200.

Its really fast, which it should be given the price. Great for gaming, AMAZING SPEAKERS and display, cool lighting effect on the back, and you can customize the keyboard lighting. However you are limited to just a single color at a time when lighting the keyboard, so you can’t do gradients or anything actually cool. It has a lot of other cool features like being able to monitor the temperature and usage of the CPU and GPU, have animated backgrounds, multiple processing speed modes (turbo, eco, performance, silent, etc) which come in handy a lot, and just a lot of really unique features. It also looks really sleek, is relatively lightweight and compact, and has a ton of usb ports. You can even charge it by its regular charger or through the usb-c port. This is definitely a dope computer. My biggest complaint is that it uses armory crate, Aura, and windows to all control the same things. So it glitches out A LOT when updates come along because the programs don’t communicate very well with each other. This caused me to get locked out of my computer for several hours from a bios update and a few other random updates. It is also a hassle to make it remember your system settings because it all needs to be confirmed on all three programs before turning off. It is also A LOT harder to navigate my files because there is so much bloatware pre installed from armory crate. Had this been functional without needing to rely on armory crate and aura, this would be a 10/10 computer. However, it has wayyy too many bugs and glitches for the price. It should not take multiple days of updates and repeatedly getting locked out to set up a brand new computer. I have quite a bit of experience with computers through engineering in college. This computer is just unnecessarily buggy. Lots of potential, but poor execution.

Its a very nice and sleek laptop, fast and can play any game I can think of. Build quality feels amazing as well. Lots of power in a every slim design.

Actually, I bought this product because of its Battery life, however, it does not survive more than 4.5 hours under medium load which is surfing on the internet and at 80% brightness. Additionally, it gets very hot sometimes. Other than that, the Oled Screen is great, the keyboard is purity, easy to use, and light weight if you compare it with the gaming laptops.

Remarkable computer with an incredible screen. Audio puts the sound system on the Blade 18 to shame with better mids and much better lows. Could the processor be better? Sure but with Asus pursuing a thinner profile it makes sense. Fans do run louder but honestly not much louder than any other gaming laptop of this size. Overall expensive but you are paying for the form factor and that screen. Great step forward Asus.

The zephrus G16 is a powerhouse of the computer. the only thing you have to be careful is the computer out the box is garbage. The Asus software that’s preloaded slows down the computer and it gets very hot, even sometimes within 5 min too hot to keep on your lap. The solution is to uninstall all of the Asus preloaded software and install G-helper. the laptop then becomes super quiet and super cool. and the battery life is extended by a lot. once plugged in the cpu will give you maximum power and when unplugged it will use igpu
