    This is great laptop for gamers. I play latest AAA games they all looked beautiful and are smooth. Had no issues at all. The build quality is great. The screen is FHD but still great. The sound is the best compared to many laptops out there. The keyboard is great as well. The battery was great for casual stuff browsing and vedios atleast 6hrs. If you are gaming you have to plug and play. That is the best way. There is no laptop that will give you more battery life while gaming not even this one. The RAM is expandable. There one 16gb soldered and one additional slot. I added another 32gb DDR4 RAM it worked amazing. There also another slot for SSD as well.

    Great laptop highly recommend, i take this to work all the time and its a beast. Gaming drains the battery fast while, doing basic stuff like homework it can remain on upwards to 8 hrs +without charging. Got no complaints with the fhd. I will say the fan can be a little loud and 512 gb is a little small. But upgrading the ram and ssd is surprisingly pretty cheap. Highly recommend.

    ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16: A Gaming Powerhouse with Stunning OLED Display I’ve been using the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 for the past couple of months, and I have to say, it’s exceeded my expectations in every way. Powered by the latest Intel 13th Gen Core i7 and equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, this laptop delivers exceptional performance, whether I’m diving into high-end gaming or multitasking with demanding apps. The standout feature for me is the OLED display. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on this screen is nothing short of breathtaking. The rich contrast, vibrant colors, and deep blacks make every detail pop, offering an immersive experience that’s hard to match on a standard display. The 165Hz refresh rate ensures smooth and fluid gameplay, especially during intense combat sequences. The build quality is also top-notch, with a sleek CNC aluminum body that feels premium and durable without being too heavy. The laptop is also surprisingly well-ventilated, keeping temperatures under control during long gaming sessions. In short, the ROG Zephyrus G16 is a fantastic choice for gamers who want a balance of power, portability, and premium design. If you’re looking for a machine that brings games to life with stunning visuals and smooth performance, this laptop is definitely worth considering.

    It's an impostor with the specs!

    First i wanna say if I could give this a 4.5 stars i would! Only because it's an impostor with the specs! I bought this for my husband a month ago. He noticed the specs didn't match the website, Best buy has it listed as 1920x1080p! When he opened the box he learned that it's actually an 1920x1200 display (Better in his opinion.) he did some digging to find out why BB had it listed at 1080p, when the laptop says 1920x1200 out the box! After having trouble on google he finally found the right version on Asus. He learned that they off the same exact one that did come with a 1080p fhd display, but also that the main version of the gu603vi-g16.i74070 comes with the oled 240hz rtx4070, and that you can replace the panel with the 1920x1200 fhd! (You can't replace the fhd screen with an oled tho, which is dumb!) Thought we'd share that knowledge we found out! He recently got into pc/laptop gaming. He upgraded from an RTX3050 TO THE RTX4070 & ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT! IT CAN RUN ANY GAME ON HIGH/ULTRA NO LIE! It's worth picking up on sale, only because there's newer 2024, 2025 models of the G16 with better displays, that come equipped with bigger hard drives, and more ram! If you pick this one up make sure you grabb an extra stick of 16 or 32gb of ram (max is 42 or 48? Can't remember.) We got it while listed at $1,100 after taxes! (Originally 1,500!) Posted a pic of AC SHADOWS running everything on ultra! As well as pics of the correct specs

    I recently got the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16, and it's an incredible gaming laptop. The display is stunning, offering vibrant colors and smooth gameplay with minimal tearing—perfect for fast-paced games. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU make this laptop a powerhouse for both gaming and productivity, handling multitasking and demanding applications with ease. The design is sleek and premium, with a sturdy aluminum chassis in Eclipse Gray. It’s slim yet powerful, striking a good balance between portability and performance. The cooling system keeps things surprisingly cool under load, with only minor fan noise. Battery life is decent for general use, but it drains faster during intense gaming. The keyboard is comfortable, and the customizable RGB backlighting is a nice touch. Audio quality is clear but not exceptional, so headphones are a better option for gaming. Overall, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is a fantastic all-around laptop for gaming, work, and entertainment, offering top-tier performance in a stylish and portable package. Highly recommended!

    Exactly what I need

    After doing lots of research, I landed on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus for a balanced combo of gaming/work/creativity/entertainment. In the store, the G16 looked unnecessarily large compared to the G14, so I chose the G14. I returned it after a few weeks because it got SUPER hot way too fast. Since I don't need to prioritize portability and read that the OLED display contributes to temperature issues, I switched to the G16. It's much heavier than the G14 but for a gaming computer it's very sleek. This laptop is not OLED... OLED is absolutely stunning, but for me it's not necessary, especially since I usually connect my laptop to my TV via HDMI and don't need a perfect display to write or work on my laptop. I've had the same refurbished Mac for the past decade, so this was a big leap for me (including reorienting myself to Windows). If you can, check them out in store and see what works best for you

    I needed a laptop to use for work and for gaming so I decided to go with this budget laptop. Although it is an I7, and a FHD laptop, it does a superior job at running AAA games at High- Ultra graphics. The only downside is that I had to buy another 1TB ssd drive. I bought a 32gb sodimm ram stick to increase the speed as well.

    I recently picked up the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The 13th Gen Intel Core i7 paired with the RTX 4070 delivers outstanding performance—whether I’m gaming, editing videos, or multitasking, everything runs smooth and lightning fast. The 16” FHD display with 165Hz refresh rate is crisp and incredibly fluid, making games look absolutely stunning. Build quality is top-notch, and the Eclipse Gray design gives it a sleek, professional look. The 512GB SSD ensures rapid load times and quick boot-up, and the 16GB RAM handles all my tasks without a hitch. Picked up at the Arlington Outlet with no hassle. Great customer service and smooth pickup experience. If you’re looking for a powerful, reliable gaming laptop, this one is a beast. Highly recommended!

    I was going to wait for a 50 series nvidia laptop but i couldn't pass on this laptop for 1k! Rtx 4070 with the intel cpu is a powerhouse for the price!!! I threw in another 2tb ssd and 16gb ram. I play my games maxxed setting at native resolution and get amazing FPS. In Cyberpunk i get over 140 FPS for reference. The screen is beautiful and the keyboard feels nice as well. Only downside i can think of is the temps but its a gaming laptop so its going to run hot. VERY happy i didnt wait for a 5070

    Insanely great laptop, got it very cheap through Best Buy (at a $500) discount, at a price where you wouldn’t find a laptop half as nice. For this price it is a sturdy, powerful, beautiful laptop, with a huge screen and great ASUS software that allow even faster gameplay.

    This is a really great laptop overall! The only downside is the storage 512GB of SSD isn’t quite enough if you’re planning to game, especially with something like Call of Duty. I ended up upgrading the storage myself, which solved the issue. Also, the charger does get pretty hot during use while gaming, so that’s something to keep in mind. Other than that, I’m really happy with the purchase!

    I can say that it was pretty much what I was looking for, for the type of computer I was searching for (Architecture Design Software) It runs everything very smooth, I have upgraded it with a 2TB SSD and another 16GB Ram. The unique minus for this laptop is the keyboard which pretty much a 14" laptop keyboard, there is lost space, is not a big deal but pretty much very thin (not that light but acceptable) Deginetely recommended.

    Absolute unit for the price. Especially when on sale. Laptop runs modern games on highest settings. Even can do 4K at ok frame rates on certain games. Adding a nvme m.2 and extra stick of ram was super easy. Laptop looks dope, isn't crazy heavy, and fans are surprisingly tolerable when wide open. Would recommend.
