ASUSROG Zephyrus G16 Gaming Laptop 16.0" 165Hz IPS WUXGA Display (Intel i7-13620H, GeForce RTX 4070 8GB, 32GB DDR4, 2TB PCIe SSD, RGB KB, Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 6E, Win 11 Pro) w/DKZ USB Port Expander

I acually bought the wrong model by accident instead of a more current model of G16 and I've been thrilled with it and ended up rabbit holding down product reviews and differences between models of the G16 over time to decide if it was worth returning it, given the restock fee. I was somewhat surprised to discover that the hardware in this model is actually beefier than the year I'd intended to purchase. The model immediately after it made the decision to reduce performance to create a thinner, cooler model - which is a very reasonable choice to make - but I really prefer performance over form factor when we're talking about a gaming laptop.I had already been making the active choice to buy last-generation technology to get high end performance at an affordable price, so discovering that I accidentally purchased a more effective machine than I'd intended to buy at a steal of a price was actually a huge win.Positives:- Armory Crate makes optimization easy for choosing performance or battery life- Hard drives are easy to install if you want increased storage capacity (it is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to install a second, larger HD than it is to just increase the HD size of the stock model you're buying.)- 4070 graphics cardCONS- High end gaming kills the battery life. If you're planning on gaming - just expect to be plugged in- will get hot on your lap if you've not elected to fiddle with the fans, and higher fan settings will sound like the laptop is taking flight if you forget to turn them on quiet setting while not gaming- Significantly thicker than current G16 laptops.I'd overall say that its a highly functional machine optomized the the performance most users would require. Don't splurge on the install HD, the base model storage is more than sufficent, and just buy a 4tb to install in the second HD slot for actual gaming.

I checked all the hardware. Legit. Thanks, and the seller talked to me within a couple hours when I had questions!

Screen with burned pixels

The laptop is good, powerful and fast but I record the package with damaged box, scratches and adhesive marks on plastic covering of the laptop. Seems like the package was opened before. Fortunately no damage on laptop itself but it did have missing accessories like stickers and booklets.

Purchased for my 15 year old grandson. Easy setup. It’s been great but buy the extended maintenance contract. Third year seems to be crucial on laptops.

I buy these in bulk now. These laptops are just so well designed and functional. We don't use them for gaming we use them for presentations and working from home. In a pinch I got 3 monitors running off of one of these for months. Great machine great design.

Perfect to work

Everything about the laptop is accurate on the product page, but beware as the screen is not OLED.I contacted the seller and the support was amazing, they compensated the situation very quickly. That's why I leave a good review even if the advertising for the display is false.They told me they would fix the listing, but just in case for future buyers checking the reviews, the screen is not OLED.
