Asus 16" ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CW, kannettava pelitietokone, Eclipse Gray

The AMD Strix Point CPU in the Zephyrus G16 gives this gaming laptop a battery life boost over the Intel version. Unfortunately, the price is also boosted.

As a portable all-purpose laptop, this Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 series remains one of the most interesting options in its class, with the premium design, excellent inputs and OLED display and audio, and the capable hardware that allows plenty of performance in anything you might throw at it. In fact, this is even more powerful now in this refresh with AMD Strix Point hardware and extra RAM. But it's a rather tough sell at current prices, especially compared to the discounted Intel G16 variants.

I bought this for video editing. Nice screen, colours and spakers however, it runs HOT and battery life is poor! To give an idea of the level of heat, I could literally fry an egg on it. Even the keys get hot to the touch. Trackpad sometimes glitches and will not recognise when I tap to click. I have to actually press the trackpad to click instead and that will fix the issue until it happens again. Performance is good and render times are much better than my old laptop which had an i5. Overall, I don't think it's worth the price, especially with all the issues it comes with. I am really concerned about the longevity. The fans are not pushing out enough of the heat and I don't know what damage that's doing to the internals.

Bought this a few days ago. Great laptop, speedy with great performance - even if it can get a little hot sometimes when under a great workload. The only downside I've found so far is the cost

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is a premium gaming rig, elegantly thin with a gorgeous OLED screen, but its performance is erratic and its case gets painfully hot.
