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

It ran extremely hot and was pretty noisy. My open box laptop continuously froze even if nothing was happening on the screen. Exchanged it for a Lenovo legion and it's night and day. I'd recommend looking at that first before going down this route

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.

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.

The purchase was very good! Compared to my last computer, this one is much faster and smoother to operate. Even the sound quality is a lot better as well. However, I do agree that the computer gets really hot, but I can appreciate that you can adjust the volume of it based on the setting like if you wanted the battery to be on Turbo mode versus balanced or silent.

I'm a full time photographer and videographer along with a heavy gamer. I needed a laptop for on the go editing and gaming and this laptop meets all my needs while being slimmer than my Macbook Pro! I'm able to run multiple Adobe programs with ease along with playing demanding games like COD and Halo. Only thing I didn't like about it was the Armoury Crate due to how hot it ran. I swapped out for Ghelper and it runs cool except for when I'm playing games or exporting large video projects. A+!

Excellent laptop. Great for marketing major/student gamer

Good performance. easy to carry, good-looking screen. If you want 16GB VRAM with a low weight, you have to choose this one.

Great laptop, plays games like call of duty with ease. Tons of storage. Fans can be a little loud and heat can be an issue if not mitigated with an external source. Overall extremely happy with my purchase.

I recently purchased the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 from Best Buy, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Here's a breakdown of my experience: **Performance:** With the Intel Core Ultra 9 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, this laptop is an absolute powerhouse. Whether I'm gaming, streaming, or working on resource-intensive tasks, it handles everything with ease. The 32GB LPDDR5X RAM ensures smooth multitasking, and the 2TB SSD provides ample storage space for all my games and files. **Display:** The 16" OLED display is simply stunning. The 240Hz refresh rate is perfect for fast-paced gaming, delivering buttery-smooth visuals. The colors are vibrant, and the contrast is deep, making both gaming and media consumption incredibly immersive. The Eclipse Gray finish adds a sleek, premium touch to the overall design. **Build Quality:** The build quality is top-notch. The laptop feels solid and well-constructed. It's also surprisingly lightweight and portable for a gaming laptop with such powerful specs. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the RGB lighting adds a cool aesthetic without being too flashy. **Thermals and Battery Life:** The cooling system is effective, keeping the laptop cool even during extended gaming sessions. Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, though it's best enjoyed when plugged in to fully utilize its capabilities. **Overall:** If you're looking for a high-performance gaming laptop with a stunning display and excellent build quality, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is an excellent choice. It’s pricey, but considering the specs and performance, it's well worth the investment for serious gamers and power users.

Love this laptop, sound is awesome but the screen is even better.

Great Laptop. Ran every game flawlessly. Was able to run my VM lab environment with no issues. Did get really hot.

One of the best laptops you can buy period. Not only is this machine powerful to run any modern AAA title you throw at it, but when you don't want to game, you have one of the best ultrabooks in the market. Absolutely worth it, though I'd wait for the 4080 to be available as that one is better value than the 4090 model.

I was looking for a high-end gaming computer to replace a low-end one that gave up the ghost. BestBuy had a sale on this one, and it fit the bill in every way. Great Chip from Intel (14 core Ultra 9), 32GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, NVIDIA RTX 4090. And its QUIET. I did purchase a laptop fan for those games which are highly video intensive (the only ones in fact that activate the laptop fan), as a precaution. Not sure if necessary, but this is what did in my low-end PC. Checking video card temperatures on the ASUS during these games showed about 59C, whereas on my low-end they got up to 80C (same game/settings). So this laptop much more cooling efficient which should lead to longer life. Recommended!

Laptop runs like a dream! It is able to play games at the same level as a desktop or even in some cases had better performance!

Looks and feels premium. Smooth track pad, high end screen. Chews up any game I have put it against. If gaming is your priority do your research on max power to GPU. T

Almost perfect. I would of preferred the AMD Ryzen AI CPU, but if you want the 4080 or 4090 rtx you are stuck with Intel. This is a really good Intel CPU and the Arc GPU is amazing. I would of given it a perfect score, but it should of came with 64gb of ram or at least come with CAMM so you can upgrade for the price. Then next the 4090 is the max q version and they don't list it as that. The issue is that's 10-20 percent slower because of the power power max q. I would of love the 175 watt GPU and not the 125 max q for $3300. Last is the Best buy problem. You can't get the affordable Asus extended warranty. It's $200 for 3 years with accidental if you could get it through Asus. Asus won't let you get it and forces you to buy Best buys $400-$500 warranty which takes 3 times as long to fix and no where near the quality.

Great laptop. Plays all the games I throw at it. Gets hot but I cant see that being an issue, as I dont keep it on my lap. Battery life is rough if you are doing anything serious, but with its power draw, its expected.

Excellent build quality, I loved the laptop, it gets a little hot but the device can handle the temperatures well

Exactly what you'd expect. Overpriced, would recommend the 4080. But definitely better value than the 50 series.
