Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super fast, nice build, and easy to work with. The trackpad could be better, but overall solid design.

Excellent build quality and performance. Definitely worth it.

A powerful machine, but under heavy load the keyboard heats up quite a bit.

No issues. Using for some local LLM work and occasional gaming.

Runs quiet and many hours during work. Handles games in 2k in playable FPS

Best computer for school and gaming Pricey but really worth it!!!

I injoy it a lot dose everything I need it to do and it’s great for gameinging

This thing is absolutely amazing. Take your good/high expectations and multiply by at least 10 and this is still better

Laptop with great performance and aesthetics. Look up GHelper if you want better temps and fan acoustics.

This device has excellent audio, video, and typing fidelity. It serves as a great back up to a full desktop device as it has an amazing display and great speakers as if it were a full desktop. The only drawback I can think of is the power draw for the 4090 is lower than compared to some competing models but it doesn't significantly lack behind on performance but it makes up for this in quality.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 4090 (2024) is a fantastic choice for any gamer and creative professionals seeking a powerful, portable machine with a stunning display. If you have the budget and prioritize performance and visuals, this laptop is it. However, you might consider alternative options if you're more budget-conscious or need longer battery life. They make 4070 and 4080 models for the G16 (2024). At 4.30lbs and 0.59", this is a great travel companion.

So powerful in a small package. Worth every penny spent

I've always been preaching to my family, who scoff at the ridiculously thick and heavy laptops I've lugged around in the past, that as soon as they make a macbook that can game, I'll be on it. Well, they made one, and I bought it, and I'm sending it back to the lab it prematurely escaped from. Now I will fully admit that this laptop is objectively the cats pajamas of thin and lights. If thin and (somewhat) light is what you need, and no amount of v-ram is ever enough, then I couldn't be more excited to show this to you. I believe, wholeheartedly, that this laptop is suitable for no one else. I love refined things, thin things, trimmed fat and unwasted space. I like minimalist designs and cold, hard alumininum. I love oleds. This ain't it. Now, I could rant about how the Core Ultra's optimizations are subpar, or that the underpowered 4090 (which is 125W, nerds) underperforms (to the shock of no one). And it does. Or I could go in on the relatively creaky chasis. I would prefer to keep it short with these topics. The 4090 is marginally better (20-25%) than a 4070 with 100+W. This is sad. I didn't even consider this when i was looking at the charts as i was so focused on seeing bigger numbers and 4090 has the biggest number when all things are equal. This was meant to replace my g18 with a 175w 4080 because it's nearly 7 pounds not including the charger. It puts out roughly 85% of the framerates of a 4080 (1600p and UWQHD). My g18 was $2100 on sale. This is sad. The core ultra is inconsistent and the chassis creaks. More importantly than all of these very overlookable things, is the use case this presents for someone. Now admittedly, the processor is about 1.5x-2x as efficient up until around 50w where it takes a sharp nosedive. So if you really want to spend 4 hours and not 2.5hrs at the coffee shop, with no charger, at a min/maxed wattage, then more power to you. Or you really need to get through 3 movies back to back on low brightness and your charger vanishes, this HAS got your back. However, aside from the incremental improvement in battery life these new ultras present, there's not much to them, especially when compared to other much more powerful processors. They underperform compared to last gen's H tier chips just as much as they beat them out in battery life. So it's not a dedicated editing laptop. If I wanted that, I'd get a much more powerful notebook with a core i9 flagship chip, or a mac with a much more efficient and furnished architecture. It's not an even remotely cost effective desktop replacement, so main gaming rig is off the table for me as i like high resolutions with high framerates. The gpu is riding a full premium price tag at a reduced performance. This already irks me but doesn't warrant a single star being taken off. I knew what i was getting myself into. What's the deal? Heat. This thing gets so hot that jeans cannot protect the leg during full power sessions. No matter, i'll put it on a surface. Now we have problem 2 with the heat. The exhaust vents are a fractions of the size of any other gaming laptop I've ever seen. The intake fans are too thin, and therefore without a laptop pad to assist, the cpu soars to the 95-100 degree range in due time. This causes throttling, ruining the experience I already resent for its underpowered GPU. On top of this, the unnecessarily constricted breathing apparatus strapped to this poor motherboard is causing a massive buildup of heat, both above the keyboard (no big deal) and on the entire bottom side (yikes). For this to be this expensive, underpowered, and almost overheating is too many flaws for one device to have. You see, I don't really recall asking for a macbook air that could game, but here we are. Thinner than a macbook pro for absolutely no one's benefit.

Runs intense games without any issues. I did uninstall armour crate in favor of a different program available through a Reddit search.

What a great laptop...the ROG Zephyrus G16 is such a well-put-together portable package that's thin, light, and powerful. Great buy!

Excellent laptop. Great for marketing major/student gamer

Love the product so premium. But unfortunately when I got it I travelled out of the US for work to realize that the left ctrl button is physically sticky even though it does register after a stronger press. I paid so much for this and it is kinda disappointing getting this! I waited for so long for it and since I travelled out of USA I am stuck with this not knowing what to do. Could have been an easy 5 but!

The perfect laptop for me, now I will be able to play Warzone without so much lag and at the same time promote my business as another hobby

Good laptop, went with the 4080 version instead though

Design and Build Quality The ASUS Zephyrus G16 2024 is a premium laptop with excellent craftsmanship. It’s like the James Bond of laptops - sleek, stylish, and always ready for action. It’s surprisingly slim given the hardware inside. The build quality is finally on par with that of a MacBook Pro, which is a significant improvement and a testament to ASUS’s commitment to quality. Display The laptop comes with a 16-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 240Hz, which offers vibrant colors and sharp details. It’s so smooth, it makes both games and regular tasks feel like butter sliding on a hot pan. It’s so good, you might forget you’re looking at a screen and not a window into another world. The screen is sturdy and can be opened with one hand, a feature that is often overlooked but greatly appreciated. Keyboard The keyboard on the ASUS Zephyrus G16 2024 is very nice, providing a comfortable typing experience. However, it only has one RGB zone. Having more than one RGB zone would allow for cool effects when typing, adding a bit of flair to your gaming sessions. Performance: The ASUS Zephyrus G16 2024 is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, 32 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics. It’s like having a sports car engine in a family sedan. However, the performance of the RTX 4090 is somewhat limited in this thinner chassis. Inputs and IO: The laptop has punchy speakers that deliver high-quality audio, making it a joy for music lovers and gamers alike. However, it lacks built-in media keys, which is a surprising omission for a laptop this big. It’s like having a state-of-the-art home theater system but no remote to control it. For its premium price point, it’s also missing Wi-Fi 7. However, the good news is that the Wi-Fi card can be upgraded, so you’re not stuck with Wi-Fi 6E forever. Battery Life: The laptop comes with a 90Wh battery that offers good runtimes. But with a 4090 keep expectations within reason. Price: The laptop is priced at around $3299, which is a bit pricey, especially for the 4090 version. But hey, who said being the coolest kid on the block was cheap? Gaming Experience: For serious gaming, a chill mat is highly recommended to keep the laptop cool during intense gaming sessions. It’s like giving your laptop a personal air conditioner. Future Potential: With the upcoming addition of Copilot+ functionality for Nvidia GPUs by Nvidia and Microsoft, this laptop has the potential to become a powerful tool for AI-related tasks. It’s like giving a cheetah a jetpack. Verdict: The ASUS Zephyrus G16 2024 is a high-performance gaming laptop. It’s slim, sleek, and fantastic to use as a daily driver. However, with the RTX 4090 onboard, it’s got a lot of high-end hardware. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 would make it even more future-proof and provide users with a better value for their investment.
