This is the best of the 16 inch mobile gaming laptops. Great speakers, an Oled display, touchpad, keyboard, and premium build. This is one of the few laptops that can trade blows in speakers with the Macbook Pro 16.
I wish the laptop came with a 99 WHr battery for slightly better battery life and with either more RAM or upgradeable slots, but that's about it.
Agreed 👍
@@andrewmarcdavid Do you prefer this or the Yoga Pro 9?
Dying to know.
Bought the 4060 variant. It was annoyingly loud. Watching the 4080/4090 reviews only made it clear the problem was the third fan.
That small additional fan would always keep rotating at 5000rpm when idling, and over 8000rpm when gaming. And no matter how fast, it always had a "whistle"-like noise, which gets on the nerves easily. Impossible to use in a quiet environment; had to return it right away.
Asus has an infamous reputation to their laptop being so hot. Thus, the fan will spinning so fast and loud.
This is why I think for those out there who are sensitive to fan noise (like myself, because I do not like using headphones), the models with the vapor chamber will be better...unfortunately that comes at a higher price, but with the higher end GPU options
Have you tried installing G Helper and setting custom fan level?
So the 4090 version will be silent for watching videos?
@@id5482Maybe, as the dedicated GPU is off when not doing anything heavy like gaming.
Thank you for your videos; they are incredibly helpful and useful. I hope you can make a video discussing the best laptops for various tasks based on your personal experiences and expertise.
Sure thing!
Am loving this unbiased review. Could you review the new System 76's Lemur Pro too?
Can i ask what power mode was the laptop in and what gpu mode was it in when you did the battery test? I was hoping in quiet mode, 60hz and with the GPU turned off i would get roughly 10 hours or more with the modern office. Asus gives you a lot of ways to tweak the performance but ive learned from experience with the razer blade that sometimes these things just eat power regardless.
i bout the g16 rtx 4090 configuration and i can attest that even 9 hours is pushing it, but you can comfortably expect 7 on silent mode running chrome, music in the background, and spreadsheet or laboratory software. and the “optimized” or “eco mode” gpu setting (both do the same when unplugged, optimized just automatically switches back to standard mode when plugged in so you can unplug and just forget it). compared to almost every other gaming laptop, the battery life is uncontested at this power level.
@@optimal_3-gener thanks for the reply. I use to have a razer blade 15 which at best got about 2-3 hours of basic use like internet and office apps. After a lot of tweaking I was able to get it to 5-6. After undervolting about 7ish. This is kind of the perfect travel creator laptop of you could get decent battery. I just don't understand how gaming laptops get such worse battery with the exact same internals unless it's the CPU wattage. The GPU can be turned off so it's not that. The CPU wattage can be turned down yet still the overall power draw is much higher. The Galaxy book 4 Ultra can get about double the battery life of this for some reason.
I am thinkpad x1 user and so interested with the zephyrus G16. How does the keyboard feel compared to the legendary thinkpad keyboard? is it as good as thinkpad or even better ?
what do you use for your personal laptop
Excellent Review! I really like the pace of your videos.
Got the same unit but with the 4080, and i must say, its gorgeous.
Thanks 🙏
Nice pc. Camera and mics were good. Speakers sounded very good. Display is very good. This is a very good gaming laptop and very powerful pc for those who need a unit with this kind of power. If the tasks you do do not require this kind of power then purchase a unit less expensive for your needs. Port selection is very good and laid out properly and well thought out. Q. Does the usb-c ports allow charging this unit when it is sitting turned off? Great review as always.
Which one did you like better Yoga Pro 9i or Zephyrus G16?
In my case both with the same specs core ultra 9, 32gb ram, rtx 4060.
The Yoga has the touch Mini-LED while the G16 has the OLED. The G16 is around 100$ more expensive.
Thanks Andrew, appreciate it!
Beautiful, very Premium laptop from Asus with only a few negatives in my opinion. The first negative is how expensive the laptop is, screen wobble might get annoying after a while, no Wi-Fi 7 and a third fan if you choose the 4060/4070 variant which makes the machine noisier. My recommendation instead is to go with a comparable machine from Lenovo which usually have sales on their laptops from time to time. Excellent job Andrew!! 👍😁
Great review, very comprehensive!
I heard that the noise from the fans is constant, without stopping, even when idle. And this covers all the advantages
The thing is they are sending vapour chamber version to every reviewer and not the 3-fan version that produces that high pitched-sound. Sneaky little b@$tards!
It's not true!
The fan noise depends on what are you asking from your laptop!
I put my g16 on silent mode and the fans turn off.
@@yae_123 2024 model? What GPU?
It is the 3rd small fan in particular, many reviews have also mentioned it , it's not loud but high pitch sound is annoying
What laptop would you pick for designing shirts?
Asus ZenBook 14x or Lenovo yoga 7i 16"?
I would choose the one that gets hotter so you can iron the shirts too
@@pablobarquin Lenovo yoga 7i it is😆
Thanks for posting this video.
You're welcome
So is the 4090 model silent when just watching videoes ? And is it the vapor chamber and not the 3 fan?
I have the 4070 model and it's silent under light workloads like watching videos or web browsing. I don't use the G-Helper, just the standard Armoury Crate.
I have an issue with two of these computers when I use an Ethernet cable with an usb C adapter. The computer get freeze when I turn on.
Thanks for this great content.. I am planning to buy Asus duo 2024 when you will review it 👀?
Coming soon!
How can the slash backlight be controlled? Is it possible to make the lights pulse rather than just turn on and off? Is it possible to have them turn off completely?
Yes to all
Is the color more black or Grey?
Hi! Can I please request an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 vs Asus ProArt Studiobook 16 vs Macbook Pro 16 M3 Max video?! Thanks!
love your videos. You are the best
There had better be something really good lined up for Saturday Andrew.
😳
Could you please review the msi stealth 16 ai studio 2024
Will this Laptop be enough for Game engineering and university work or will I be limited by the 32Gb or Ram?
Yes it will be good enough. And 32GB is really as good as you'll get with these laptops, 64GB memory laptops are limited in terms of options
This us is a clean review damn
I'm surprised when battery life is "not too bad" when the times shown are insanely good especially when this is a gaming laptop. I'm just confused why people on reddit say this laptop lasts around 4 hours maximum. Maybe theirs is defective.
Doesn't the 14inch MacBook have 4 speakers?
Between this model and rog g16 which one is a better option? Thanks
rog for pure gaming. Zephyrus g16 for everything else; screen, speakers, build quality and portability
Question if you have a 2023 should you buy the new 2024
no
The ram is soldered in the 2024 version so I wouldn't upgrade that
Would you choose this one or Lenovo yoga pro 9i?
I have the same dilemma lol
@@english724 me three
How were you able to purchase it?
It is a review unit sent by Asus as mentioned in the video
@@andrewmarcdavidThank you
Review Precision 5690 with RTX 5000 ada
On 20:37 you have an error i think, you say Cons: Third Fan in 4060/4070 Models is noisier, maybe you meant 4080/4090 that have this third fan?
The 4060/4070 have third fan, the 4080/4090 have vapor chamber cooling instead of the third fan.
@@bate01071 ah thank you, my bad
USB 5.0(TB 5.0) and $1500 would have been great 😅
This is way too pricey and in near future there will be more competition in this configuration imo😊
Why don't you review the Lenovo yoga pro 9i 2024?
Waiting on Lenovo
@@andrewmarcdavid And I'm here waiting for your review. They are nice. My request to you would be a proper PWM flickering test for the MiniLED display specially around 10% brightness.
That wobbly screen though...
Had the laptop for a week. That wobble is only bad if you throw and move it around a lot. In normal use, on a table or lap, it is not noticeable at all. What you should be worrying about when it comes to this laptop is heat and fan noise, all the other aspects are great, especially the speakers and the screen.
Just this is a stop factor for me, hate it. If you are on the car or train it will be so annoying and it sakes even when you tape on it. I love the look but will never have this notebook.
If you put dbrand and a plastic case, then the wobble decreased.
You can clearly see a step forward in video quality
Very very well detailed review. The price is pushing me off though. Hope to get a review on Lenovo 7i 2024 with Rtx 4070
The memory is onboard and cant be upgraded, right?
Its so loud, I will wait for AMD X3D variant then
Again... No mate display option... Removing from the shortlist
That is s nice laptop
Sure is
@@andrewmarcdavid but to expensive for me haha.
I bought back in 2020 the HP Envy X360 AMD because of your video 👍
so much info i dont know why u stuck at 158k sub
Good question
It's overpriced for that underpowered laptop
And i recalled reading the tdp does not let the 4090 shine. it's a marketing gimmick
And the temperature is 150😅
???
Anything outside US and CA, these soo much more expensive. The base g16 4050 thats literally E-waste cost 2150usd.
Regardless of global prices, an m3max blows this out of the water
I have the ROG Zephyrus G14. I thought about the G16, it was just too big. I have a MacBook Pro 16, so I know how big and heavy that one is to slip into bags.
