Just what I needed for Video/Photo editing
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my dedicated laptop that I only use for Video/Photo editing. The machine does not get too hot like the others ones I had doing the same rendering. Temps stay in the 80's even in turbo mode using a laptop fan cooler. Keep it in silent mode and the temps stay in the 70's doing the same renders. I can upscale video or photos in silent mode without any noticeable slow downs.

Great laptop that runs really hot during gaming
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Part of this rating is because I happened to get it when there was a great deal going on ($1399). The specs are great for this price, and it's also got a great keyboard and screen. Webcam is just okay. My big complaint is that it gets really hot when gaming, but it hasn't become a major issue for me so far. I'd give it 4.5 stars if they allowed half stars.

Battery life could be better
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent gaming laptop for the price. Battery life will always be something to miss with windows laptops. You have to mess with multiple settings to save battery. Instead of having a overall battery saver mode.

Good but downgraded from actual Asus model.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is actually a great computer in a lot of ways. It is very powerful and I love the screen, keyboard, and weight. Unfortunately my requirement is that I need a minimum of 48gb of ram and since this an odd model for Best Buy with 8gb on board and 8gb slotted it doesn’t meet my requirements. It is too bad that Asus felt the need to give Best Buy a downgraded version of the laptop. I also have intermittent issues with the 3070ti when the laptop gets hot. I am very disappointed.

Posted .Dear Pieceofchum,
Absolutely, it is a great laptop that is powerful and really cool aesthetic.
We do understand your concern about thermal issues. It is normal for the laptop, with the same hardware configuration and regardless of the manufacturer, to generate more heat than normal while under heavy load especially during gaming. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. Please ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While gaming, please ensure no resource hungry applications are running in the background, this will definitely spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down. The laptop comes with 2 configuration with RAM onboard, 8GB which BestBuy only sell and a 16GB RAM chip soldered on the motherboard.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Rodel

What the others have said...solid laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The other reviews sum it up. This is a great balance of speed and form factor. It's almost exactly the same size as the current Macbook Pros. If I could, I'd take half a star off for the size of the power brick. It's still pretty small for how much power it puts out, but I wish it wasn't as bulky. The good news is you can run this laptop off of a smaller power brick that uses USB-C when just doing productivity work. I would prefered to have Win10, but so far Win 11 isn't too terrible. The soldered 8GB RAM is unfortunate, but I knew it was a thing going in, so I can't really complain. The little bit of gaming I've been able to do so far has been giving great performance, especially with an added 980 Pro SSD.

Great laptop for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been extremely happy with my purchase. Everything runs great and the rgb keyboard and custom screen options are pretty neat. Only complaint is the battery drains pretty quick if running games or similar programs.

Good reinstall windows
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good laptop reinstall windows 11 from ISO not sure what ASUS did but its very glitchy. PRO: Runs games fantastic, screen very bright and clear, keyboard is great feeling Cons: Running any VM's is not great, HEAT HEAT HEAT really wish they could get power management better for simple tasks like streaming or browsing web, Battery life is bad just watching netflix maybe 2/3 hours max. The fans spin up pretty randomly to kill the heat. Reinstall windows fresh from MS fixes most problems. Yes I would buy this laptop agian just wish ASUS had better image they were putting on here.

Great Laptop - Wouldn't Buy Open Box Again
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I agree about the quality control issues. I bought an open box model and the screen had terrible backlight bleed issues that was only noticeable in certain light. I returned it for a brand new one and so far, no issues. I'm giving it five stars because the brand new one is great, but I caution not to buy open box due to the quality issues.

Awesome laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I got this to use a 3d scanner I have not had any issues with this laptop. I have not pushed it to its full potential as far as video games go. I’m excited to have it and highly recommend. It is a little loud when running apps that use a lot of memory or video card but I usually have headphones on so t doesn’t really matter.

Amazing hardware, awful screen.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been an Asus Fan since I first purchased my P4S8X motherboard, and have owned laptops and other Asus products over the years. However, I cannot recommend their laptops at this time. I purchased and exchanged their TuF series ones due to severe backlight bleeding. So I figured, surely the top end M16 with a significantly better screen can't be that bad. Well I was wrong.. I purchased this model while it was on sale. It played all my games with over 100fps, had plenty of built in storage, upgradable ram on such a small form factor, and the screen... well the colors are great ( except for one unit where the "black" was so washed it was more like a gray) but everything else was beautiful, sharp, and crisp, with two units easily having 500nit brightness. Now the downside is... every single unit had backlight bleeding that progressed worse and worse. My first unit had it REALLY bad. I exchanged it for another which had more backlight bleeding spots, but to a much lesser degree. I decided to try one more time and purchased another so I could bring it home and compare, and low and behold it too had worse bleeding, and a very dark screen. I returned it immediately, and thought, maybe I could live with the second unit. Well the backlight bleeding progressed to the point that the top right corner started to bleed, and the entire bottom left corner of the screen had become extremely bad. Mind you I was extremely delicate, didn't move, or do anything to the laptop/screen at all. It just happened on its own. That kinda ruined it for me altogether. I will also note the third model has some weird smell, and crazy bad thermals in the laptop and the charger. The quality control department for Asus laptops must be on strike, because out of all the brands I've owned, none were this bad. I had such high hopes for this too. I honestly cannot recommend this laptop, unless you simply don't mind backlight bleeding.

Rog zephyrus 16 review
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great laptop for gaming. Relatively slimmer than other gaming laptops. Only problem is the loud fan noises. Battery life is average giving 4-5 hours on power saving mode when light browsing and watching videos.
