“The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 will challenge your expectations about what defines a gaming laptop.”
Pros
- Beautiful OLED screen
- Thinner and lighter than a MacBook Pro
- Design is gorgeous
- Solid battery life
- Comfortable keyboard and huge trackpad
Cons
- Some performance compromises
- Gets loud under load
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 confuses me. On the surface, it should be one of the best gaming laptops you can buy. It’s thinner and lighter than a MacBook, even when packing an RTX 4090 under the hood, and it has what might be the best display you can find on a laptop. Combine that with a reasonable price, a fantastic keyboard, and surprisingly good battery life, and the Zephyrus G16 should be a slam dunk.

This is a laptop that challenges expectations, though. It straddles the line between a creator and gaming laptop, making compromises along the way that a machine like the Lenovo Legion 9i doesn’t run into. This is a still a great laptop that has a lot to offer gamers on the go, but there’s a little more to the story than what you see on the surface.
