  • Review of the 2023 ASUS Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop! This comes with a RTX 4060 and an I7-13620H processor. I compare it to the ASUS Zephyrus G15 from last year. Hopefully this video helps you out with your purchase.

    This chassis is magical, especially in the keyboard and trackpad area. Definitely top of the line ergonomics!
    I have the Asus m16 2022 (12900h/3070ti) model and for the price, it is one of the best in 2023.
    You can easily get on for $1300-$1400 in the US.
    tip: switch to manual power mode and reduce the gpu wattage to keep it relatively quiet while churning.

    I just got one. LOVE it! The display is spectacular, and blacks are much deeper than I was expected based on some reviews. With Armoury Crate and different settings, the perceived contrast changes significantly. The full DCI-P3 colours are incredible. Gaming is superb on it- for the games I play, all the Halo games, incl Infinite and Destiny 2. The trackpad feels great to my fingers and I like the feel of the keys. Matte finish and great clarity, colour and contrast make me smile on this. I have zero complaints. Very happy with my purchase.

      i feel like the 4060 is a pretty decent upgrade compared to the 3060, it gets about 10fps more than a 3070 and in frame gen games(which will only increase as the years pass) it dominates (3070 40fps cyberpunk rtx ultra / 4060 90fps cyberpunk rtx ultra)
      also better battery with intel so we get thunerbold, hdmi 2.1
      i feel like its pretty good performance gains + quality of life improvments for $1.4k

    I love how your shirt, Matt, matches the PCB. I'm pretty sure, knowing your videos like I think I do, that that was intentional (also matching nicely with your name in the background). I'm only mentioning this because it seemed also like there was a reddish tint to the entire video. It took nothing away from the production, don't get me wrong, but it seemed a little noticeable. Anyway just thought i'd mention it. Thanks for another great video man.

    • @MatthewMoniz
      @MatthewMoniz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      haha ya I have a few purple shirts and when I wear them it matches nicely with the neon sign. Definitely not intentional but it happens! As for the reddish tint I'm messing around with new coloring you'll notice its a bit more contrasty but I noticed the red too. Ill have to tone the reds down a bit for the next one! Its a work in progress = ) Thanks for watching as usual Christopher! Hope all is well

    Hi Matthew thanks for the review,
    a couple of questions if you dont mind. Im looking for a gaming portable laptop, (wich is a kind of contradiction), but Im looking for a perfect match, with out sacrifice to much of both worlds.
    In the video you mentioned that this laptop can last about 10 hours of office soft workload, is that a fact?
    Because if it is, I think we are here in front of one of the best matchs that we can find for power, portability, premium aspects, price friendly, and amazing 16" size display that is another key point for me
    And I will get one of those for sure.
    Thank you ,👍👍

    really hoping to get this machine, love what theyve done, making it 16:10, fhd+( i just dont need qhd at 16" i'll take better fps ) fram gen is huge for supported games which will only be increasing in number as years pass, from a 3070 with 40fps in cyberpunk to 4060 90fps (rtx ultra) its hugee and even a solid 10 fps bump in non frame gen games. of course there could be improvments like the way the ports are placed, but my thought is that by using the old m16 chasis they can save on cost versus the new chasis designs getting it to that sweeet price if $1449. i was also worried about battery but i saw on ultrabooks review they got up to 8 hours and now you're test of 10 hours, any worry of mine has been blown away. feeling more premium than cheaper msi and acer laptops but keeping the price below the more premium asus, razer and alienware laptops, lenovo is another really good competitor but i prefer the more slim design with bigger trackpad and no num pad. Personally i think its a great purchase for the price and me not being in the US its probably going to be way more expensive here but i think im going to import it adding $200 but this for $1600 is still going to be way better value than anything i could find here $1800+ for last gen stuff, but yeah hope to get it soon! upgrading from a 720p screen and mx150 is going to be amazing😭

    I was going to mention the lack of a full size sd card reader, but after seeing the processor choice and display color gamut, this is aimed at being a relatively budget (as budget as possible for a 4060 nowadays anyway) gaming laptop. It's not a creator laptop. It's not for me - and that's totally fine :)

    I'm so confused trying to figure out what best gaming laptop to get currently (july 2023) from Best Buy or Amazon with a budget no higher than usd$2,700.
    The reviews are all over the place and I'm not too much tech savvy to begin with.
    I'd like to future proof a little, though what I would play is Elden Ring, Spider-Man 1-2, etc with high texture mods.
    Advice is welcome 😅 and requested please! 😂

      I'd look for are; intel i9 or Ryzen 9 CPU, RTX 4060 or 4080 GPU, 1 TB SSD, 16 or 32 GB Ram. Now, what brand and model you go with comes down to your priorities and preferences i.e screen size, screen refresh rate, battery life, aesthetic, keyboard, weight etc. Once you figure out what your desired specs are I'd make a list of 3-5 laptops within your budget then go out to retail stores to experience them in-hand.

    • @care_lezz
      @care_lezz 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @AwesomeAsian129 thanks for the advice, guess the minimums I'd look for would be: screen 16", 16GB Ram, 1 TB storage, refresh >=120, >= 4.8GHz. For i9 or R9 not sure what is best, I read R9 but drains power, RTX 4060 - 4080 I think is a toss between budget and the rest of specs.
      For weight idc if heavy cause it'll be at table all the time, kb and lights i'd rather not be bright would turn them off, what I wasnt sure how to search for is the cooling system (havent seen a named parameter about it like "search i9" etc), and it would be almost all the time plugged and on (im afraid of temperature or fire hazards tbh, or blue screen of d3ath).
      NGL I stopped researching at the moment cause I think rebates and the like are coming in the next few months for the holidays, well at least that is what I expect lol

      3050 is garbage it's not good enough to even run constant 60fps on most games at high settings at 1080p. get the 60 or higher. Also, XPS is ridiculously overpriced because it is a 'premium' notebook aimed at professionals, so unless you really need that better colour gamut for your work, or really really like super thin laptops, get the G16

    my mom is gonna buy me a laptop in a few months if my grades are up to par (up to par is pretty high though, but nothing a little hard work can do), and hopefully the g15 will still be on sale, if not marked down even lower.
    otherwise, this certainly seems like a great alternative! that 4060 laptop gpu and FHD 16 by 10 display certainly does sound enticing, though if the g15 is still available and at an even bigger discount, I think I'd still get that one.

    A bit confusing for me. I had to look at this video again to confirm what I saw on the Puget published benchmarks page.
    It seems the M16, G16, and ProArt Studiobook all perform worse this year on their Photoshop benchmark compared to last years model…
    Could this be due to a new benchmark test? All of Asus’s other created capable laptops have increased by a decent amount year by year.
    Can’t tell if they’ve actually gotten worse or something else going on. Shocked they would score anything under 1000 on the Photoshop test.
    Hell, the 2021 AMD G14 scored an avg of 1,100… but mid 800s for G16, high 900s for M16, and high 700s for ProArt! That’s worse than my 3 year old Lenovo ThinkPad!
