As an enthusiast who's experienced the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 firsthand, I can say it's a tailored for gaming. The 16-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate makes for seamless visuals. The combination of the 13th Gen Intel Core i7 and NVIDIA RTX 4060 ensures top-notch performance even in the most demanding games. The 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD balance ample space and swift load times. Although modern games may demand higher space. I have recently purchased it and played a few games. It's portable for such a performance-oriented device i.e. does not feel really heavy compared to older gaming laptops, and the Eclipse Gray finish is both professional and sleek.

This laptop is one of the best. After returning the HP omen 16 due to high temperatures, this asus rtx 4060 has not let me down. The desgin is slick and professional. The fan noise is loud but way quiter than most 4060 laptops. Hardly gets hot and is always on the cool side compared to mostbgaming laptops. The screen display is vibrant and looks way better than others. The battery life last a long time and the charger is nice and slim. I love how the screen is able to prop the laptop up so it allows for airflow. Im getting close to 11k in timespy and thats almost a 4070 score! Wow! This laptop is powerful, cool, quiet and worth every penny. I would recommend this to people who love to game and also want portability. Ive seen and used many gaming laptops. This one is on the nicer side for a good price. If i had one complaint, it would be i cant manually adjust the fan speed in the amrory crate app. But you can put it in turbo mode which will turn the fan up once tou start a game. Other than that this is pretty much perfection in my eyes. This 4060 is worth the price. I woudnt pay more for a 4070 when you almost getting same peformance. Buy this machine, you wont regret it.

I am a 3D artist and I purchased this laptop for use as a mobile workstation. I wanted something that would be directly comparable to my PC which has a 2070 Super and a Ryzen 7 in it. The power of the 4060 in the ROG Zephyrus benchmarks almost identically to my 2070S, and while I've heard arguments both for and against the i7 compared to the Ryzen 7, I was very happy with the comparable performance. The battery life is advertised at 10 hours, but if you're playing games or, in my case, rendering 3D models, the battery life seems to go a lot faster. My desktop has a 1440p 60hz monitor, and the transition to and from the 1920x1200 was much better than I had expected, and the difference in framerate was quite noticable in most games. If anything, the only complaint I have is that 500gb isn't much in terms of storage these days, and I ended up having to buy another m.2 to fill the expansion slot with. It is also worth mentioning that I purchased this laptop as an excellent rated open box, and I have not noticed any damage or malfunctions since owning it.
