Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Asus nailed it with this years line up with the new 2024 Asus ROG Zepherus G16. The oled screen is a very nice change with more vibrant colors especially when HDR is enabled. The screen looks amazing without HDR as well. The new Intel i9 processor is a nice new addition as well handling the OS and the ability to multitask between different projects. The gpu RTX4090 is a nice little upgrade. I played 3 different games. Halo Infinite, Diablo 4 and MW3 all of which ran phenomenally at ultra settings. I can't really say how good they run on battery due to my decision to always play games on the laptop while plugged in to get the best possible performance I can. Though I imagine it will still run pretty good on battery power if it runs good plugged in. After seeing other video reviews the battery lasts quite a bit before it needs to be charged. I think the last video I watched it was mentioned that it lasted close to 6 hours but this all depends on what you're using the laptop for in the present. Obviously if you're gaming and using performance mode or watching a movie then it's not going to last as long. I never use the turbo mode from the armory crate just because the fan is so loud when it's enable but I'm sure with the turbo mode it would boost the performance even more but I decided to keep it on performance mode. The performance is also improved by the fact that the laptop comes with 31gb of vram but it's soldered on the chip now so it's not upgradable but not really a big deal since it's more than enough for a laptop. The 1tb ssd comes in handy as normal when storing games and you can actually add an additional ssd to updated the storage should you run out of room. I removed the 1 tb ssd nvme m.2 drive from my previous laptop and put it in the new asus for more storage because to me more is better. The most significant improvement I noticed with the Asus Rog Zephurus G16 is the build quality. The aluminum chassis is durable and sturdy and the laptop is still nice and light in weight and size and not to mention that it looks sweet in space gray. There are 2 usbc connectors and 2 usba connectors. HDMI is included if you choose to connect to a monitor or tv. There's also a micro ssd slot for additional storage to hold even more games. The standar 3.5mm headphone jack is present as well for wired headphones. The trackpad is nice and clickable with great response time but I never really had an issue with previous ones. Another nice upgrade is the speakers equipped with this years model boasting better and louder sound along with booming bass. The keyboard has RGB lighting which is always a nice feature but no RGB lighting on the outside of the laptop. Instead there is a slash lighting on lid to which you can program different patterns to showcase. I did not see a RGB feature for the slash mark in the armory crate but I may have overlooked it or there is just simply no option for it. My overall opinion on the Asus ROG Zepherus G16 laptop is it's definitely worth the price tag with the newly upgraded features in this years model and it is definitely nothing short of a premium gaming pc. I would definitely recommend this years model to any hardcore gamer looking to upgrade. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Great laptop will play anything you wanna play with awesome graphics.

Great laptop - great for blend of professional and gaming.

Hard to pass up for that price. Just the card alone with the top of the cpu - cheffs kiss

I've owned this laptop for a little over a month and not only does it have great performance but an amazing screen!

Best laptop I’ve ever owned, stays cool on turbo and runs every game maxed out at 1600p, got it on sale for the same price as the 4080

Very good laptop but cooling and battery performance is worse than I expected. Also it is very hard to set it up working properly in Linux environment.

My new ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 has met my expectations! The people at best buy we great and Marissa gets 10 stars!

So powerful in a small package. Worth every penny spent

So far so good, the only problem is that it does bot have a touch screen. It needs this.

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

Ordered this laptop and was excited by the fact that there was a 4090 in such a beautiful chassis. Sadly, no matter the settings, the laptop would consistently drop FPS and stutter even when on maximum performance modes. The 4090 seems to be a bad match for the Intel Core Ultra CPU, a less powerful but more battery efficient processor. A CPU bottleneck could explain the issues I had, as I returned my original unit for another and issues persisted. Benchmarks were great, real world performance wasn't what I'd expect from a $3k computer. Swapping it for the 4080 version, hoping for better results...

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

Great Laptop and the design is amazing. Screen beautiful and sound is also pretty good.

Best laptop and great performance to play any game.

Excellent computer graphics and better performance than MacBook Pro m3 pro chipset

Great, Just in love with my ny computer. So easy to usr, phenomenal.

Had to return the laptop twice due to constant crashes/blue screens on the first one and broken touchpad on the second. Now the third will not launch any programs or games that require the GPU. There seems to be a recognized problem with RTX 40 notebook cards and nvidia optimus and there hasnt been any word on fixes for the past year. This causes the screen to go black until you hard reboot the laptop. Do not buy this until these issues are fixed. Save yourself the time and money
