Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (Intel)

Watch Review
Pros

Remains very cool to the touch, even during gaming

Fan noise is minimal for a gaming laptop

Very light and portable for a powerful laptop with a 16 inch screen

Display is great - OLED, Fast Refresh Rate, High Resolution, G Sync, Advanced Optimus

Great speakers

Batery life is good for a gaming laptop

Cons

GPU does not run at full wattage. The RTX 5080 and 5090 models perform poorly. Get the 5070 Ti

Keyboard doesn't feel as comfortable as the Razer Blade 16

Webcam is grainy

The Zephyrus G16 is an excellent portable gaming laptop, that we highly recommend.

The 2025 version of the G16 is much improved. It is around 15% faster in CPU and GPU performance and runs noticeably cooler to the touch. Battery life is also much improved this year.

Its only downside is that its GPU is capped at 130 watts. So high performance GPUs like the 5080 and 5090 perform poorly when compared to full wattage laptops like the Razer Blade 16. When choosing between the 5070 and 5070 Ti pay particular attention to VRAM. The 5070 Ti has more 12 GB. It will run games much better on the screens native 2560 x 1600 resolution.
