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.

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

This laptop looks very beautiful, however I was not impressed with the performance, the wifi speed and also the FPS was not very good. I don’t think it’s worth the price.

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.

The g16 is one of the best high-end laptops on the market and fixed with this particular GPU is as powerful as all but highest in desktops.

I really wanted to like this laptop due to OLED and thin profile. During the two days I had it, I experienced poor, glitchy gaming performance and overheating (even in Armoury Crate's "performance"/balanced mode). Perhaps I had a defective unit?

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

The screen is spectacular ran some movies and games and the visuals and performance are top notch. Overall build quality is great. What the reviewers say about the hinge is accurate and ideally could be a little tighter but I have this laptop on a stand hooked up to a 4K monitor so isn't too big of an issue for me. Overall very satisfied.

Great laptop! I can't say enough how much I love this piece of tech. I currently use it in work settings and no one pointed out that it was a gaming computer. Also, the battery life can be really good for those 2 hour meetings.

Amazing laptop. I’m not sure there’s a better form factor for the amount of power you get from this machine. If you’re looking for uncompromised performance then look no further. It eats a lot of energy at the top settings but you can dial it back as needed.
