Even though this device comes with the RTX 4070 GPU, its thickness is 1.5mm. It also has 1TB of storage. The CPU is the Intel Core Ultra 9. The device supports AI as well. The device is the only one in the market with an OLED screen with 240Hz refresh rate and G-Sync support. Let me introduce you to this device!
This is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop. This device comes with great specs and features. The frame of the device is made from aluminium, and there’s a lit slash on the back. At the bottom left, there’s an ROG logo. And there’s a Zephyrus logo at the bottom of the screen. There are cooling vents at the bottom of the device. The speakers are on both sides of the keyboard and at the bottom as well.
The keyboards are backlit and the trackpad is bigger than last year’s version. The device weighs 1.95kg. The thickness is 1.49mm. According to ROG, this laptop is the thinnest 16″ gaming laptop in 2024. The screen is 16″ with 16:10 aspect ratio. The resolution is 2560×1600. It is a 2.5K panel. It is an OLED panel with 0.2ms response time. It is a glossy display with 100% DCI-P3 support. It supports G-Sync technology as well.
The screen supports Dolby Vision HDR with supported content. The screen’s refresh rate is 240Hz. The screen is VESA HDR True Black 500 certified, which means produces great black colors. It is the first gaming laptop with an OLED display. And it supports G-Sync with 240Hz refresh rate! Let’s now discuss the internal hardware.
The GPU is the GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6 with 32GB LPDDR5X RAM. It supports Nvidia Ge-Force RTX Studio technology. The storage is 1TB M.2 SSD. The CPU is the Intel Core Ultra 9 with 7nm architecture build. This CPU has 16 cores, 6 of which are P COres, 8 E-cores and 2 LP E-Cores. It has 22 threads. It is an Intel MeteorLake, which is the first SoC with an NPU for AI tasks. This NPU makes computing and AI faster.
According to ROG, more 300 apps will support this NPU, and more than 100m laptop will support NPU services in 2025. By the way, ROG stands Republic of Gamers. This NPU also helps with enhancing the gaming performance and battery life. In Geekbench 6, the CPU scored 2390 points for the single core and 15184 points for multicores. In 3DMark Time spy Test, the GPU 11793 scored points. And with the Armoury Crate app, you control the device’s capabilities in 5 different modes. The modes are: Windows, Silent, Performance, Turbo and Manual. Forza Horizon 5 with high settings scored between 150 to 160fps. Doom Eternal with high settings scored between 60 to 88 fps. But with the Turbo mode on, we noticed that the fans kicked in and the heat was bit high. The Turbo mode uses all the laptop’s resources.
The laptop comes with an app from Asus called GlideX to share the screen and files. The app supports Android, iOS and Windows devices. This app makes sharing files between your computer and mobile easier. The laptop comes with a number of ports. On the right side there’s an SD Card slot, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery support. This means that you can use to connect an external display or charge the battery with.
There’s another USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port. On the other side, there’s 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports. There’s also the power port and the 3.5mm jack. There’s also a full HDMI 2.1 port with FRL support. There’s another Thunderbolt 4 port with Display Port and Power delivery support. The device comes with a 1080p webcam with IR to enable Windows Hello. The device comes with speakers that support Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res. It comes with 2x 2W tweeters and 4x 2W Woofers. It supports WiFi 6e and bluetooth 5.3. It runs Windows 11 Home 64bit. It supports face recognition using the Windows Hello feature, to quickly unlock the device.
The battery charges with 200W using the charger that comes in the box. The battery is supposed to last for a number of hours. The box includes booklets, the charger, and a bag. The device comes with White Platinum colo.
Pros:
The design is great, and the device is very thin considering the powerful specs it packs, it comes with an OLED display with 240Hz refresh rate.
Cons:
I wished that, with the Turbo mode enabled, the fans didn’t kick in.
This device is a great investment for gamers who prefer ROG devices. Evaluate your needs before making a decision.
See you later.
