In the vast ocean of gaming laptops powered by Intel Raptor Lake, it's an unusual sight to see them powered by the latest Meteor Lake processors. This 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 features a Core Ultra6h chip with 8 P cores, 8 E cores and 22 threads in total 185. The maximum power consumption is 115W, which is easier to keep cool than the Raptor Lake laptop processor.

It would be better to have more P cores, but they use a lot of power and 6 is enough for most games. There's a bit of NPU (neural processing unit) in the CPU to help with basic AI tasks like MICROSOFT's Copilot, but it's not powerful enough to meet the requirements of Copilot+ PCS. Also, most of the performance is controlled by the RTX4070 graphics chip and is limited to a maximum of 105W, which is fine for 1080p games.

Yes, the resolution of the display is 2560x1600, so you're more likely to play at 1440p+ resolution, but don't worry — the latest game is upscay because its RTX4070 is compatible with DLSS3.5, so you can get a full range of Nvidia AI performance-enhancing technologies. It will be.

We tested the RTX4090 version of this laptop, but the GPU was not very used because the cooling system could not cope with that chip. Here, you should be able to squeeze out the last rendering power from that chip, as it makes managing the compact RTX4070 much easier.

The real star of the show is the 240Hz OLED panel - "a beautiful, deep and vibrant viewing experience," we said in the review. Like all such displays, it is not super bright, so you should avoid using a laptop in a very bright room, but in a darkened gaming hive, it is an absolute pleasure to see. Unfortunately, it only has 16GB of RAM, but at least LPDDR5X-6400, so performance is not a problem. There is a decent size 1TB NVMe PCIe4.0SSD inside, so it is unlikely that you will run out of storage space for a while, but the 2nd M to add another drive.It is not clear if there are 2.

Overall, this is a great gaming notebook, with a slightly more expensive aspect compared to the deals of other RTX4070 laptops, and while it doesn't feature the most powerful CPU and GPU combinations, the component balance is very good. You will certainly like staring at the OLED display a lot of long time, that's for sure.

The only blot on the ROG Zephyrus G16exercise book is the fact that it was an Asus laptop and that warranty claims and management of the RMAs company caused an investigation by Gamers Nexus. Hopefully the result will ensure that if you pick up this much, you have a solid guarantee behind it.
