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.

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 !

It’s truly remarkable that this laptop is the size it is for the amount of power it contains. Yes it does get hot above the keyboard but you aren’t touching that area. And yes the fans can get loud if you go into turbo mode. Besides that they are normal sounding fans. Not overly annoying. The screen and speakers are phenomenal. Battery life is good in silent mode. Standardly bad on high graphics games when trying to game without it plugged. About a hour to a hour and a half.
Couldn’t be happier that I got this for less than 2900$ with open box. Said on the box it was due to residue which I could only even find on the track pad and was able to clean it with a screen cleaner. Now if I didn’t get this open box and paid full price at 3300$ I would be more hesistant to give it 5 stars due to value ratio of the 4080 model having 1tb less ssd and being 700$ cheaper.

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.

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.

Nice solid laptop. Haven't gamed a ton yet with it, but been pretty solid overall. Definitely runs a bit hot when gaming or video editing. Do yourself a favor and toss Armory Crate and replace wjth GHelper. AC such a resource hog. Lost a start just because of the price. Went with this model to try and prolong the life and have this for many years,

Pros: OLED display with VRR looks incredible, GPU is top notch, chassis is nice. Vapor chamber, 2TB of storage, and 32GB of ram are all nice upgrades over the lower-tier models.
Cons: The CPU on this thing runs way too hot. I have had my laptop shutdown while gaming multiple times in the first week of owning it. Could just be bad luck with ASUS applying the liquid metal incorrectly at the factory, but if you look it up online, plenty of other people say the G16 specifically runs super hot. Also, Armoury Crate is not great, but removing it and replacing it with G-Helper takes 10 minutes.

Amazing Desktop Replacement

The ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is nothing short of a marvel in the realm of gaming laptops, setting a new benchmark for what I consider an exceptional gaming experience. At the heart of this powerhouse is the formidable NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, delivering unparalleled graphics performance that elevates gaming to cinematic heights. This GPU, known for its efficiency and raw power, ensures that even the most graphically demanding games run flawlessly, with rich details and smooth frame rates.
What truly astounds me is how this laptop serves as a perfect desktop replacement without compromising on mobility. Its lightweight design is a testament to ASUS's engineering prowess, making it an ideal companion for my travels. The ability to carry such immense power effortlessly enhances not just gaming sessions but also productivity on the go.
Initially, I encountered some hurdles with software configuration and connectivity. However, a fresh reset of Windows resolved these issues, leading to a seamless and smooth computing experience thereafter. This hiccup was minor in the grand scheme and did not detract from the laptop's overall stellar performance.
The Zephyrus G16 stands out for its acoustics as well. Whether in silent mode for everyday tasks or performance mode for gaming, the laptop remains remarkably quiet. This is a significant achievement, considering the power it packs. It ensures an immersive experience without the distraction of noisy fans.
In summary, the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) fulfills every criterion I had for a top-tier gaming laptop. Its exceptional performance, combined with portability, cutting-edge graphics, and quiet operation, make it a comprehensive package. For anyone in search of a gaming laptop that can double as a mobile workstation, look no further. The G16 is a testament to ASUS's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what gaming laptops can achieve.

My 2 star review is solely based on value. Please be aware you are purchasing an underpowered 4090. If you purchase another laptop with a 175 top 4080 it will out perform this laptop in all games at max settings. Most full powered 4070's will come close to matching this under powered machine. So if you are on the OLED train, spend $300 more and get a Blade 16 4080 (nicer build, better CPU also thin) or save $300 and get a Blade 16 4070. Me I returned this and picked up the Asus ROG Scar mini led 18. I did not care about thin and light. I think the 1100 nits mini led is more vibrant and eye catching. If you want something smaller the Scar is available in 16". I just can't think of a good enough reason to over pay for a unit that doesn't preform. However, if maybe you are looking for a laptop for media, and don't care too much about gaming then maybe you would want the G16??? At that point I would recommend the 4070. At least you are getting close to full power

Great laptop for gaming and daily use such web, office, movies, editing. If you want to play AAA games and have the capabilities to use the laptop for office task, this is the one. Playing warzone in "balanced" mode and plugged in, you will get nice graphics and 100-130 hz refresh rate. Other games such RDR2, Starwars Jedi survivor, Ghost of Tsushima, RE4 , Horizon, Delta force, can run in high to ultra graphs with 120-200 hz refresh rate (depend on the title). It is recommended to uninstall ASUS Crate and use the G-helper to improve the GPU, Fan rpm, color profile and temperature management. You can have between 4-6 hrs unplugged for light usage (web, MSOffice) depending on the screeen brightness and fan RPM. The laptop is not heavy, easily to carry on long trips.

Great Performance + Quality, Good Battery Life

Love the screen and build quality. Doesn’t sound like a jet engine, and runs frames perfectly. Battery life is far better than most, likely thanks to the Intel Core Ultra chip. Windows sleep states remain broken, resulting in TONS of battery drain with the lid shut; that’s more of a Microsoft issue than an ASUS one though.
BUT, support in linux is really botched. Get one with an AMD GPU instead if you plan on running linux.

Although the laptop does get hot (expected while gaming) the oled screen is amazing. I travel frequently with this from hotel to hotel so having the slim body made sense for me. Also the built in speakers are great for streaming shows.

I am not a gamer and just wanted the max VRAM available for a laptop, but I didn’t want to sacrifice portability. I also need Nvidia for machine learning work so this laptop was the best option. No problems so far, except for the sable light that it is a known issue on forums it stops working in synchronized mode with the music. Nothing important. Overall, I am pretty satisfied that they put together a laptop like this, it was exactly what I was looking for!

Is it going to blow the doors off some other, much heavier, gaming laptops? No. But those are desktop replacements and this is an ultra book with ultra graphics power. It’s basically a windows MacBook Pro with better graphics, screen is great, cpu and gpu are fast, handles heat extremely well as long as it’s raised and is perfectly fine flat on the desk in productivity silent mode. Around 16000 timespy score without sounding like a lawnmower. Just a great at what it is: a real portable 1440p ultra ray traced everything gaming machine that can push 4k high ray traced when you need it.
