Beautiful OLED screen Thinner and lighter than a MacBook Pro Design is gorgeous Solid battery life Comfortable keyboard and huge trackpad

Some performance compromises Gets loud under load

“The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 will challenge your expectations about what defines a gaming laptop.”

Gorgeous design and matt finish ; Vibrant 16-inch OLED screen ; Good all-round ergonomics ; Impressive performance

Expensive ; Underwhelming battery life

A superb if hugely expensive laptop for gamers and creators, the redesigned Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) mixes slick style with strong performance and a dazzling 16-inch OLED screen.

Lightning-fast CPU ; Brilliant OLED screen ; Long battery life ; Thin, light, and deluxe build

Limited gaming speeds for $2K-plus ; Runs loud and hot, especially in high-performance mode

Powered by AMD's Ryzen AI 9 processor, Asus' ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming rig is a beautifully built, quick performer, but its Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU is limited in this super-thin chassis.

Not that $2,000 for a laptop with an RTX 4070 inside is an objectively good deal when 4080-equipped devices fall below that mark on sale. The Intel version of the G16 provides the best value, especially when it drops below $1,500. Best Buy frequently...

Premium thin and light design ; Superb OLED display ; Expansive, ultra-comfortable touchpad ; Great port selection

Performance is good but not consistently great ; Runs extremely hot and loud in best performance mode ; Subpar battery life

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is a premium gaming rig, elegantly thin with a gorgeous OLED screen, but its performance is erratic and its case gets painfully hot.

Svelte design ; Bright, colorful OLED display ; Great speakers ; Strong performance and graphics ; Long battery life

RTX 4070 over $2K ; Keyboard is cramped

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (Ryzen AI 9) is an all-around excellent gaming laptop with few flaws, but its current price (over $2K) is a major hit to its value.

Gorgeous OLED display ; Light and thin design ; Solid speakers

Cramped keyboard ; Weak gaming performance ; Overpriced for its specs ; Mediocre battery life

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) boasts a gloriously portable design and gorgeous OLED panel, but its weak performance and high price won’t please everyone.

Excellent fast, calibrated OLED screen ; Well designed ; Performance vs ; size reasonably balanced ; Good port selection

Battery life is just okay ; Big power brick ; Bottom and hinge area can get hot ; Settings in Armoury Crate software can get confusing

Fantastic-looking design and build quality with an all-aluminum build ; Stellar 2.5K OLED display, just an amazing and bright display ; Amazing performance with the AMD Ryzen HX and NVIDIA 4070 ; Decent 1080p webcam, on par with the Surface ; Battery...

It is pricey, there are other options that are cheaper. Just not as nice. ; This would be a complete package if this had a haptic trackpad, but the trackpad is not horrible. I just would have liked a haptic pad.

I’m just going to come out and say it. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is one of my two favorite laptops of 2024. It sits right at the top next to the Surface 7 Laptop and I really cannot choose one or the other. I highly recommend this laptop for both...

premium build, alright ergonomics, plenty of ports ; excellent inputs, beautiful OLED display, amazing speakers ; solid multi-purpose performance, much faster CPU than on the Intel models ; excellent experience in Silent mode ; 90Wh battery with decent...

limited screen angle ; soldered RAM and only available with up to RTX 4070 graphics ; limited cooling capacity with the laptop flat on the desk ; expensive vs. existing Intel G16 models
