Made a mistake when I was showing the chargers. I was holding the wrong ones lol. The ASUS G16 uses a 240W power brick for the 4080/4090 and a 200W brick for the 4070.
What do you guys think of t he ASUS G16?
I want to buy it when I get enough money. I think it is cooler than M16 2023 and G14 2024. I really want to try AI accelerators which built in 185H. So many benefits in so lightweight chassis. Perfect choice as for me
Can you do a G16 vs razer 16 2024 please
Finally, an Intel Laptop that can compete in looks and performance to the MacBook pro max.
240W charger still seems low for the higher spec version, since it won't actually run at 240W during use (180W more realistic). If it's not tuned well, the laptop can easily drain battery when plugged in during gaming or when running both CPU & GPU tasks
I would be interested in 1% low comparison for games, esp higher FPS ones, to see if it's sacrificing performance
expensive
Will a double sided NVME fit in that secondary m.2 slot?
Hi, I know that maybe this is not the channel to ask this but as programming I would like to know how power bi runs on this and also how much can process data like 2gb of csv files ?
Thank you so much for taking time to show the power bricks as most people dont, i travel for work so its really important for me and then the sockets where i work only take 10amps, so this is perfect. i guess this will run decent on usb-c aswell
Thank you for the great video.
As notebookcheck highlighted the annoying noise of the 4070 version third fan even under low load, what does this one with the vapor chamber sounds like ?
The "silent" setting measurement was still under load at that setting right ?
Damn 4:50 the webcam test really shows how flappy the screen is. I hope it could be easily fixed by tightening up the screws.
Is it possible to tight them up by myself?
To be fair, it did look that he was kind of messing with the laptop, grabbing it and moving it, lol.
hmm how about his table where put the laptop is not so stable standing? might led to the whole object is slightly moving as well 🥲🥲
@@elmemyself I thought he was merely leaning on the table. :/
Is there an option to get this without a glossy screen? Reflections like that are terrible when I'm out and about and there are windows.
i was waiting for the new g16 but since i needed a new laptop quickly i went with the slim 7i. watching this made me realize my expectation on this laptop were too high lol
Timespy seems odd. The 4090 from ultrabookreview unit got 16.2k on turbo. I was expecting 15k or something for the 4080. Their silent mode also had 35db at head level. I'm guessing the fan noise here was measured directly at the exhaust vent instead.
Fan noise is measured from in front of hte laptop. 16k is about right for the 4090.
I got 17k GPU score on Turbo with the 4090 G16.
@@MatthewMonizTurbo or Performance mode?
Turbo@@jwkelley
it cant be only 13k right? in the video of jarrod a rtx 4080 should get at least 15k with 115 watt, there has to be something wrong. Exspecially it costs like 30% more than a rtx 4070 model
Is it silent at (near) idle? Wasn't sure from the video, I assume the Silent profile being not as silent was under some/full load?
Yes, silent at idle and even light tasks like browsing
If it's on the lowest setting then yes it's completely silent. Although when you're on a bed for a long time the fans do start to kick in
Thanks for the review Matt. The G16 looks like it would be a worthy successor to my VivoBook S15. Everything is better but I especially like the improved screen and speakers.
I hate that Intel paid Asus to never include AMD in 16 inch laptops
@@NamTran-xc2ipany proof of that?? The TUF a16 has Ryzen options though
Double sided SSD compatible?
Matthew, love the video. Also, bump to put timestamps on the video?
How does this machine perform on AI tasks such as Stable Diffusion? Does the NPU make any difference?
I'd like to know this as well.
Great video. A little off topic what was the spec of your MacBook Pro again? Was it the m3 max or pro?
Thanks! M3 Max
@@MatthewMoniz Thanks for responding.
@@MatthewMonizso this Modell is stronger than the m3 max? Because in the video you said better than m2 max grafics wise
Thats correct its around the same performance as the M2 Max. M3 Max performs much better except in gaming @@badnai
Can this thing sit on a flat-couch/flat-bed? How is wobbly display on spongier surfaces? Alot of laptops can't sit on ur lap or anything other than a table anymore. How does it compare to the G14....asus seem to put all the good stuff in the G14 versions and cheap their 16 inch customers out.
Is a 4090 going to run louder and have more thermal issues in general on laptop? I thought I heard the 4070 ran cooler than numbers below itself. So by that standard higher number might be quieter and cooler. Or are all the heating issues if any going to come from the intel i9 chips?
4090 is cooler than 4080 due its die size. Same with Razer Blade 16. 4090 is cooler and quieter then the 4080. 4070 is coolest though, different category of a GPU.
@@tinybit780 k, then 4090 on the g16 should be quieter than any other config cause of the vapor cooler vs fans of 4070 i guess. This is confusing tho everyone said the 4060 and 4080 were the most sensible performance options for mid/high respectively, but Matthew shows the performance of the 4080 is only small bump like the increase from 4060 to 4070...mbe that's just on this model. The legion 7i slim fr last year had so many heat/noise issues when specced with 4070 and i9 I had to return it, guess i'll try to look for a vapor cooled unit.
@@Cerbyog16 is capped at around 125w so performance difference between versions won't be as big as in higher wattage laptops
Specs are great, but, would you recommend this as an option to the macbook m-series specially on the battery life?
Did you tested RTX HDR mod that can bring over 500 nits?
Tnx for review. I was wondering is it worth buying this laptop with ram16?
As always excellent review Sir. I am surprised to see its BATTERY LIFE as it is not EVO certified and no variable refresh mode of 48Hz mode and 60hz.
Overall great laptop and fan noice is not that bad considering it is very thin and light.
I really loved this laptop but they should have provided variable refresh rate of 48hz or 60hz.
Wait, why would you need to reboot when switching between internal and external GPU:s?? I thought the G16 has Advanced Optimus which can handle the switching without rebooting?
Advanced Optimus allows you to enable/disable the dGPU at will in Hybrid Mode. But this mode means that the GPU has to render frames through the CPU to the display, which causes increased display latency. What he was talking about was switching from dGPU mode to Hybrid Mode. In dGPU mode, the GPU will render frames and send it directly to the display, but it does require a restart since it bypasses the CPU's iGPU.
How heavy do you think it would be compared to a g14?
You used to complain on the magnesium alloy feeling a bit plasticky before. Has it been improved in this re-design, does it feel more premium?
Still feels thin but better than the previous model. Not as thick as the MacBook pro if that makes sense
@matthewmoniz what would your choice be between this and the legion 9i
I’m torn between the two
I have a 10 year old laptop and I’m between the 2024 G16 or The 2024 Duo 💔
Can u help me decide?
I didn't know you had another channel! Cool seeing the BMWi review.
Thanks! Ya we started a Car channel at the end of the summer = )

Could you tell me about the settings you used to get your battery life results? I just got the same 4080 model but I'm getting estimates of about 4 hours of battery life when watching movies while limited to a max of 80% battery through the ASUS software.
Disable the software limit and try again
Some batteries have a lot of their power in that initial 100%
Still looks like the near perfect laptop, but man, that amount of screen wobble is absolutely horrifying.
Pretty normal for asus laptops i guess🤷♂️ i have a zenbook 15 oled (um3504) and its display wobbles just like the G16
Only thing holding me back from buying one. Would drive me nuts
exactly, my Dell xps never got it
@@QuangTran-iv9optragic, im looking into upgrade to the g16 from my xps 15
This is desk gaming laptop. Never have any problems with wobble.
Dude, I just wanna know how it performs on battery power vs plugged in and how it compares in that department from the previous generation, cuz if it is better on battery power than last gen with that battery life per charge, I'm sold on this.
It is, cause both ultra vs rtx 4000 series are all for efficiency. Which really not much sense for "gaming notebook" cause those laptop was build like a tank to get the heat. So performance wasn't that big of a gap. But on other hand, for ultrabook, 4000 show exceptional performance which 3000 lost when you take out the juice. Ultra 7 vs 9 also did the samething, they give you less core but same boost, which combination of ai technology to react with gaming and normal activities to twist the performance. I wouldn't suggest going upgrade from last year. But last generation? Then it sure worth something.
I'm coming from OG ROG GL552VW, so this seems a good upgrade for my 3DS max Intense work. also in India, we only have an ultra 7 with a 4070 model. Suggestions are welcome.
would you perfer that over the new hp spectre 16
Hi, has anyone else experienced issues booting up their laptop with an Ethernet cable plugged in? In my scenario, my laptop freezes during boot-up, but if I disconnect the cable, it starts up normally. Interestingly, it works flawlessly with the Ethernet connected when I’m using Windows.
i was thinking about buying this as my desktop replacement. im wondering if i can use this with the lid closed since i have 2 monitors i want to connect?
yes you can set the laptop to remain on when the lids closed in the settings 👍
@MatthewMoniz
Can someone do me a favor and check your ROG Zephyrus 2024 for similar issues? I have the model with the RTX 4090. I noticed several things I either do not like or might be defective:
1. I noticed the trackpad mouse click is very stiff. By stiff, I mean perhaps the stiffest click I have ever encountered. After using the laptop for awhile my wrist is throbbing. Are you guys finding the mouse click to be higher than other laptops? I find the stiff click to a be a real letdown.
2. Just an observation but the fans on the default power mode are loud, very loud. I don’t understand why the fans need to be loud and audible just typing an email or work document. Obviously, I can change to silent but then the power drops and you defeat the point of paying for top-of-the-line hardware. I owned the Razer 16” recently and the fans never came on to browse, type, or do similar low wattage activities. If you use your computer to work all day, it is not fun to hear the whistle of fans constantly.
3. My biggest concern involves the OLED panel. Specifically, when I am looking at medium to dark colors (blacks are fine), especially greys, I can see what looks like noise. Medium to dark solid colors don’t look uniform. The way I would describe the noise is it looks like compression artifacts from a low-quality signal or a high ISO digital image. I wasn’t even looking for anything and I started to notice many of my dark backgrounds contained noise, much like a lower quality panel. To make sure I was not just being picky, I compared the colors to my older, cheap laptop with and IPS Screen and my 5 year old Benq photography monitor. Neither had any hint noise or uniformity issues. I’m really wondering if there is an issue with either my laptop or these OLED screens in general.
The problem is easy to identify and replicate, simply go to Fullscreen.one (or Google search it) and click on the 60% or 80% black and look closely. On mine you can see all kinds of random noise patterns.
If you have this laptop, please do me a huge favor and check out your results and post what you find. Thanks guys!
Did you mention anything about battery life? Did you get 10 hours? I’m looking at either getting this one or the 2023 m16. Thanks I think the m16 battery life is poor.
I currently have the 2023 M16, you will get about 5-7 1/2 hours depending on what you’re doing, you will get 5 hours from video streaming and more toward the 8 hour range editing without wifi, but this video has shown that the wifi is about 40% better and I’m willing to bet you could squeeze out 10 hours if you tired, if battery life if what you want though, I recommend going for the G14 2023, nothing has surpassed that and the performance on it is superior to the 2024 G14
Bueautiful Design but still the same mistake RAM soldered...Asus C'MON.
almost all laptops with the Core Ultra chips have soldered ram unfortunately i think it’s a memory requirement especially with that Arc GPU onboard so yeah (i say almost because there might be a laptop i am forgetting)
Honest question from a non techie: does RAM break? Or do people just want more than 32 gb? I’m not sure when I’d ever want to swap RAM tbh. Batteries and SSD I can see but 32 gb seems like more than enough for gaming and normal productivity… unless RAM has a habit of breaking or degrading I’m not sure what the issue is…
@@xjcl6469just in case for upgrading, but then yeah i kinda agree with you for nowadays 32gigs are plenty for at least 3-5 years to go, at least for games. Productivity on the other hand, i could easily fill up 64gigs and maybe even need 128gigs for urban planning 3d models, but thats just really specific use case and niche, so at least theres the flexibility
@@xjcl6469 ram has potential degradation risks yes, also soldered ram has a problem because if one module or chip fails you’re pretty much dunzo, unless you know someone who can tackle chip level repairs. Coming to ram sizes, they will keep increasing. Your parent’s computer from 2006 made do with 2GB of RAM. Today’s computers ship with a minimum of 8, this will only increase with the ever improving pace of computing as we know it. We thought 1TB SSD’s would never happen. Today we have 16TB SSD’s for enterprise. That’s how fast we are evolving.
@@neerajkarunanidhi6804 is it ok to get a 2-slot 16gb +16gb ram on this? i assume this totals to a 32gb ram. i mean this is as big as it gets.
Hey Matthew, thanks for focussing on overall aspects of the laptop. Do you think it is worth spending extra money for the 4080 configuration vs 4070 one? The cost difference of 4070 vs 4080 configurations is $1000 Canadian. I want to know which one do you think is a better value. The only other difference in these configurations is 1TB vs 2TB SSDs.
No. I think the 4070 is the sweet spot for this laptop. You're not getting your moneys worth with the 4080 or 4090. Those options are just there for those that really like the form factor and want to squeeze as much performance out of it as they can regardless of price.
@@MatthewMoniz Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the low wattage 4080 and 4090 configurations seem very weirdly priced with a $1000-$1500 difference from the 4070. By the way, since you cover laptops throughout the year, do you think smaller discounts will start appearing on the prices (for example on BestBuy) before the Canada Day? If so, when do you expect that to happen?
Actually the 4080 is only way to get 32 gigs of ram so go for 4080 or will regret it.
@@leonardwise5807 I don’t know about other countries but in Canada both 4060 and 4070 are available with 32 Gigs at Bestbuy.
Will word processing or watching movies be loud?
How about the surface temperature?
The timing on this release is pretty perfect for me. Been looking for the thinnest gaming laptop that doesn't have a crazy amount of leds or overly dramatic lines/accents. One that wouldn't look out of place at the office or in the library, but is more than capable for gaming. This seems to fit that description to a tee
Does this mean a m16 with a 4080 would be more powerful than a g16 with the same gpu? I do like the sleekness, screen, and battery life more of the g16, but I wonder if I were to buy the g16 then id be missing out on a power difference compared to the m16.
For some context on getting the laptop, i'm not getting it for gaming but rather my second year in an architecture program where we'll be running 3D rendering programs.
OMG SAME I’ve I was shock why is the m16 was stronger when g16 is newer *2nd year architecture student as well*
I really, really, really want it. I don't know about that CPU tho, could you please run a Cronoa render benchmark and report please?
Thank you for reviewing the 4080 version. Great Review! Thank you for showcasing more about this unit and the performance. I have been eyeing this model since its announcement. I am in need of a windows device, I have been going back and forth between which laptop I want to purchase after seeing many reviews between Razer, Asus and Windows. personally I want to stay under 3500 with warranty added. I am looking to do some light gaming maybe if that, particularly diablo 4 and hell divers 2 atm, don't really game much but need to have the GPU power to run CAD software smoothly for hobbies and run VM. I was using a 16" M2 Pro MacBook Pro for creative work, fantastic device and quality, sold it. But I am finishing my major in Cyber Sec. So Macs are not the go to for this line of work. When it comes to windows side, I have a love and hate relationship with this Asus product right now. It certainly gives Razer competition. It has a professional look and form factor to it. Just the one thing really throwing me off from buying this G16 is that damn screen wobble. Its a ugly feeling seeing how poor quality these hinges were made and passed through inspection and offered into production. I am glad Asus went and revised the design from last year models. This years model has checked a lot of boxes that gives great satisfaction to an extent. However If I am going to spend Apple price tag money for a device that's going to be my unit for many years. That wobble better not exist in a display. Its annoying to be outdoors and have some small wind breeze blow your screen like a rocking chair while studying or on a table and any small movements just makes it wobble. Hoping there is a way to tighten them or resolve that issue some other way. Wobble aside, It is difficult to find options for a premium 14-16" windows laptop that checks off a lot of boxes as a premium laptop with great performance in a form factor like this, it is a step in the right direction though. I may pull the trigger on this one when it becomes available in white.
Hi, I am a software engineering student in second year. I am looking for upgrade my old laptop to a new, lightweight and powerful laptop. I also studying game development. Should i go with zephyrus M16(2023) model or G16(2024). Do you have any recommendation for that.
G14 better choice lightweight and portable
Same situation. My question is going with the white rtx 4060 Modell or more power with black rtx 4080 modell
Looks like Matt is testing Timespy in performance mode. Other testers uses Turbo mode and can get about 16k score instead of 13k like in the video
Is it WOLED or QD-OLED?
I would like to ask because I don't fully understand so the 4080 model is better than the 4070?
It is faster, but normally it is much much faster but because of the thin nature of this laptop its very power limited, usually 4080s can go to 175 watts but it’s limited to 115 watts which is terrible.
typo: new power brick is 180W (vs 280W for 2023 model)
200W is for the 4070 model. 4080 and 4090 models use 240W
I just realized I was holding the wrong chargers in the video.
Maybe they can put ram on the extra ssd card slot?
Finally someone reviewed 4080 version
i think asus said like 90% or some really high number of sales was the 4060 or 4070 so it seems like they 4080 isn't as popular
@@tones1161the 4080 seems to be better with the increased RAM in the US and the much better cooling solution that gives better sustained performance
@@mcslender2965 yeah probably, all I'm saying is that last year Asus said the 4080 didn't sell as well
lmao I came here to comment exactly that
I am back to laptop reviews after buying my 2022 razer blade , the speakers have totally changed !
What’s the shelf life of one of these? Very enticed but not looking to replace it every year😂
Man, I’m torn. I wanna use a laptop for good gaming and overall general use for media creation and just normal non intensive tasks. I don’t know if oled and the slim look is better than a mini led g18 strix. What do you suggest is better with either a 4070-4080
So I’ll try to answer your question with specifications so this 4080 is barely more powerful than a 4070 in this case. typically a 4080 is around 53% more powerful than a 4070 not 20% like we’re seeing here. So a strix 4080 will be around 23-25% more powerful at the same gpu and that’s in real world fps. But a strix 18 is huge and like 3 of these stacked together. So if you want raw performance and a bigger display… but at the end of the day the best laptop is the one you have with you.. the strix 16 is a good compromise between the two if portability matters.
I have both OLED and mini led. They’re both good OLED does look better.
I’ve never seen either in person and I’ve never owned a gaming laptop. So would you suggest not going over a 4070? And can I use a strix as a normal everyday laptop without it dying super fast because it has a gpu? I remember them saying the zephyrus has ai to determine the workload and not use the gpu and be able to use it as an everyday laptop. Sorry I just wanna make sure I don’t regret my purchase later so I wanna ask as much questions as possible
@@Ligma7232 if you game don’t get anything under a 4070 if you can afford it a 4070 to a 4080 is 53% more performance for only 30% more money
@@CCthekink123you answered the fuck out of this question. Thank you
I havent bought a laptop in a while, im talking 10th gen intel lol, and im not sure about oled screens, but honestly i think this year ill be buying the exact model you got haha, 4080 and 32 gigs of ram with decent battery life seems like a good edc laptop that i can use for work and casual gaming.
Is this laptop upgradable?
@@MoeHashim From what i've seen online in ram is soldered on
Was the price before tax? I ordered mine in Germany and it was 3.5K same specs. Sounds like a lot more than your 2.7
we always seem to pay more here in Europe than the US annoyingly...
How is the battery
hey Mathew can you tell why many meteor lake laptops are either core ultra 7 155h or ultra9 but very rarely 7 165H?
Cause pricing...165h is too close to 185h so why have to go in middle ground where 185h vs 155h weren't that much different in performance. Why they choose 185h is just because you will buy rtx 4080 laptop vs 4090 laptop so you gonna expect something to compensate that huge price bump. That's why 185h was choosing to pair. So don't be bother with ultra 7 or 9. It basically a gimmick like 10700k vs 10900k.
Wait for Asus ROG flow X16 2024 . Is any one knows release date?
Now my question is how long that oled is going to last.
Wish i had the money for this, coming from an rtx 2060 laptop, probably will wait till its in stock or get a newer one next year.
The delta between the G16-4070 to the G16-4080 is a massive $700 difference. Yikes. Kinda crazy when you consider that Razer's delta for their 4070 to 4080 is $500 (I know, I know... the Razer laptops are already way overpriced to begin with) so one would think the delta for Asus would be similar if not slightly less.
Can you please share the thermal situation while gaming on this? And Core Ultra 9, How you see this processor? Will it be able to handle high work load like the i9 13th gen?
I'm an expert on computers so I'll help you. The core ultra Intel cpus are brand new and are quite power efficient, in turn this means that they don't heat up as much as traditional Intel cups. so the cpu will get warm under intensive tasks, and under super long gaming sessions at high settings it will get hot but unless your on your computer 7 hours a day i twon't get too hot. and yes these new cups are good for high level work even better than the 13th gen i9 in a lot of ways with better battery life, hopes this helps.
how´s the difference between a 4080 with 175watt TGP?
the gpu score on a lenovo 7i 4080 is around 19-20k
I want a RTX 4080 laptop. Should I go for the Zephyrus g16 or the Strix Scar 16? 🤔
Strix Scar will give you better performance since the 4080 can use more power
A 4070 to a 4080 typically 53% more FPS in this case, it’s only about 20% You should expect around 25% more FPS for the same graphics card on the strix. This is a good laptop of gaming is something you do on the side it’s wrongly marketed as a gaming laptop the g16 is absolutely a content creator laptop or something I can take to a meeting and not be embarrassed. The strix is a gaming first product
whats the timespy GPU score for the 4080?
Its in the video
@@MatthewMoniz isnt that the combined score? 13.6 for the 4080 on turbo would be extremely low, even for 115W TGP

@@MatthewMoniz thanks! Pretty low tho
I don't get why they only use intel processors on the G16, I prefer the bigger screen but I wish they offered the ryzen like for the G14.
on the battery life overview, is the mentioned spectre the 14 or 16 version?
16" version. A new bios is being worked to fix the problems with the Spectre 16. The cpu was not receiving enough power. Should be out soon
@@MatthewMoniz just read about that yeah, im really curious because it seems like it will be the laptop I will purchase. Hope it turns out well! Did you get any indication on when the update will release? In how many days or weeks?
@@MatthewMoniz Also, do you think its a better idea to just go with the Arc iGPU for light gaming on the side? (software dev mainly). Over here I can get the 16 inch, 32GB OLED iGPU for 1800, or the one with RTX 4050 for 2250 euros. That's a 450 euro premium, including a 10% discount. Or would you pick a totally different laptop for this use-case? Maybe one that isn't on the channel yet?
This or the galaxy book 4 ultra with the 4070?
The webcam test had the audio not synced
Great video Matthew! I'm very interested and probably would buy the G16 when the price drop.
I'm torn between 4060 and 4070 and can't decide between these. I'm just a casual gamer so probably don't need all that powerful game performance. What I'm thinking is long term performance, do I lose 1 or 2 years of good performance down the road? I know right off the bat 4070 is definitely going to out perform 4060 but it's $500 price difference on same spec
you will be fine with 4060. Any demanding new titles in that 1 or 2 years down the road you mentioned will almost all have DLSS support. and older games the 4060 will still handle fine. Hope this helps
@@banned-user thanks a lot for the tip! And what about 5 years(I know, nobody knows what happens a year later let alone 5 years, but just to take past as reference)? 5000 series may be out this year and would definitely drop 4000 cards' prices down, and I assume 4060 would not age that much faster than 4070?
@@PaulYason 5 years is a long stretch for a gaming laptop. I bought a 2020 model laptop with a rtx 2060 in early 2021 and by now it is struggling a lot. By then we would be half-way through the 6000 series. And for the 4060 - 4070 debate; they both have 8GB of vram which is not good for anything above 1080p high settings
@@banned-user thanks a lot, so sounds like even further down the road, 4070 won't gain much against 4060 you mean? Thanks for answering my silly questions 😂
Anyone else finds the performance of the RTX 4050 laptop as more interesting? Of course it's very expensive, but hardware wise I think it's doing well compared to the far more powerful in theory laptops.
When you were about to play the speakers, the ad kicked in with some really cool classical music. I had the browser minimized and it sounded amazing. Funny.
I am a MacBook pro lover. But I am also a gamer... so I routinely find myself in a predicament where my Mac is exactly what I want to use, 60% of the time. The other 40% however, I find myself wanting something that can play games... this new model of Zephyrus might be the sweet spot for me. Mac-like portability and decent battery life, but with Windows, so I can game. I also prefer MacOS for non-gaming tasks... so theres that. Maybe I need one of each LOL
okay but one problem.. there is no stock -.-
The LED line looks like it’s the X twitter logo
yeah but its just \
missed the other half "/" 👀
Any one have an idea how this 4090 @ 115tgp compares to a 4080 laptop at 175tgp?
4080 is definitely more powerful
Is the fps stable and good on low settings on Fortnite and is it better then the asus dog strix g16 please reply this is how I’ll know what’s better
justjosh got ~15k on his timespy result whereas here it shows 13.5k. was this run on silent?
This doesn’t have Advanced Optimus?
I got the Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM and 4060 today.
It looks amazing, the display is gorgeous and portability is there. Speakers are the chef's kiss.
But... it is too hot (you can't put it on your lap or bring it to the couch even when simply browsing) and too loud (annoys you and everyone in a 10m radius), it is not silent at all. The third, small fan (RTX 4050 - 4070) is emitting an annoying high-pitched sound which drives you insane.
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this laptop for the money Asus charges. Glad I can return it.
Wait... The white model costs $200 more? Where was that announced? Is that why Best Buy Canada only has the grey available for order?
Ya you can buiy the white model from ASUS website
Finally a review of the G16!! Can now we get a review for the Omen Transcend?
Definitely plan on it! Should have it in over the next couple of weeks.
Matthew, thank you for the great review! The quality of the screen is most important, since one is looking at this all the time. OLED is amazing, with the only worry being no burn-in after 24 months. Then comes the weight. In my opinion, a laptop should be no more than 2.2 kg. And necessarily must be an aluminum body. The best combination in my opinion is Intel+Nvidia. ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is currently the best choice for portability, office and coding work, and casual gaming.
Please sir can you make a review for the Galaxy book 3 or 4 series. I want to be sure about how it stacks up against the competition thanks sir.
I plan too! Most likely in March
@@MatthewMoniz thank you sir God bless you sir
They should offer a 64 gig RAM version too
I don't think Asus provides 'build your own options' and a commercialized release of 64gb ram wouldn't have enough demand.
they spent all that money on a new chassis and they couldn't manage to create a better hinge? I have terrible eyesight - a shaking screen while I type drives me NUTS. Guess I'll have to look at something else. Excellent review, as always.
Thanks!
Hinge wobble isn't really happening when you don't actively push the lid.
What about the oled would it really differ in gaming than mini led previous?
@@MoeHashim yes, contrast really makes a difference
The track pad on my G16 rattles when tapping on it, anybody know if this is normal?
Wish theyre going to make a version of this with strix/halo.
Does anyone know when this spec will be available for sale?
Now in a lot of cases. Mostly western countries and India atm.
People complaining about the soldered RAM have to understand that it has certain advantages. It allows for slightly slimmer more optimized design, but more importantly significantly faster speeds. 7467 MHz is very fast indeed.
GSync?
Dolby Vision?
I think the only thing Asus is lacking is their own Linux distribution packed with all working drivers.
If this didn't have the slash on top, i would've been sold
Great review, wish you had talked more about that trackpad. I don't know way trackpad is so underrated to the reviewers, should always compared to the apple trackpad as a reference for us.
Asus decision of putting Intel on G16 feel dumb when they have M16 for intel version. I feel like they should have kept G16 with Amd and M16 to Intel. Not sure whether they are discontinuing M16 for this decision.
damn the MBP 16 speakers are so good.
is it possible to buy it with a ultra 7 and a 4060? cause that might be all i can afford
It is.
Thank you
I normally come here for your sticker analysis report

Can u turn the led light off?
Yes
