ASUS - ROG Zephyrus M16 16" 240Hz Gaming Laptop QHD - Intel 13th Gen Core i9 with 16GB Memory-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070-1TB SSD - Off Black

First and foremost. I am blown away by this laptop. For gaming, editing videos, pictures, and general power using it's top notch. This thing has some serious horsepower. 4070, and a i9 it's suited to take on just about any task. Any game that I have tried on it including; Baldurs Gate III, Remnant 2, Guild Wars 2, it just runs them flawlessly. The screen is amazing. Coming from a 60Hz desktop monitor, this thing is so smooth. I've barely touched my gaming desktop, as the screen seems so choppy in comparison. It's thin. It does have a bit of weight to it, but that doesn't bother me too much. Battery life is fantastic when not gaming. This laptop is easily upgraded with an extra RAM slot and SSD slot. So if you need to expand your storage you can do it. Which I do recommend you do. Now onto some not so great things. When gaming it's LOUD. some reviews have mentioned jet fighter. That's pretty accurate. It's not very bothersome for me but some might find it annoying. It also gets very warm, almost to warm to touch in certain areas. I do have a chill mat on order to remedy this however. Something that I noticed with my mine is, unfortunately upon opening it I noticed a small dent in the top ridge of the screen, and some paint missing from it. I'm not sure how that could have happened in shipping, as the laptop was packaged as it should have been. I had to take the plastic wrap off and everything. So I have no idea where it came from. The only thing I can think of is it happened during it's manufacture. It's not a huge deal, but I do wonder if it took a serious shock while being made. I guess time till tell if it craps out for some reason. Overall this thing is great, especially at the price I snagged it for. If you can catch this on sale definitely pick one up if you're looking for a portable, monster.

After test driving several other laptops, I finally landed on this one, and I couldn't be happier. The design is sharp - the all matte black is very sleek without screaming "gamer" vibes. The display is FANTASTIC for an IPS - bright, colorful, smooth. I tested this display next to my alienware QD_OLED and it seriously rivals it in colors and brightness. Yes the absolute blacks on oled win... but the backlight bleed isnt bad at all on this. Also I would WAY rather have matte coating in this use case (coffe shops, libraries, etc) because glossy oled is very distracting in bright environments imo. Performance: Absolute beast that easily handles any game I throw at it. Now a days with DLSS, I can push enough frames to actually get use from the 240HZ refresh. I keep it on "balanced" 99% of the time which keeps fan noise to a minimum while still maintaining cool temps. Battery : Could be better - but that's expected from the high-end components in this machine. If you game on battery, it will drain QUICK, but for browsing / youtube I can easily get 6-8 hours. Software: ASUS suprisingly didn't load this thing with bloatware (looking at you McAfee..) but ROG Armory Crate is OK for controlling things like fan speed, overclock, battery modes, etc... But if you want something more lightweight and background friendly - look into GHELPER. Thank me later.

I'm a full-time web designer that uses a windows desktop as my main work station. I wanted to have something equal in power to my desktop for work + gaming that I could take mobile and this laptop performance is very impressive for both design and gaming. I run applications like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma, which all run very good. Having the dedicated GPU was a must have for me, which is why I decided to stay with Windows. The ASUS ROG has software built in, so if you need to reserve power on the go, you can switch to utilizing the integrated graphics. This was nice for business travel when I needed more battery time. If you plan on using this laptop for high performance, you will find yourself being plugged in most of the time. Overall, I love this laptop, I had a Macbook Pro before this and found this laptop is on par with performance, if not, better in some areas, thanks to the dedicated GPU. The QHD 240hz display is awesome and the 16:10 aspect ratio is awesome for gaming and entertainment. The fans can get loud during gaming. The webcam works great for those that work remotely. The only reason I didn't give this laptop 5 stars is because the description is not correct in some areas. Be warned, there is no Ethernet port (this would of been awesome since I have really fast internet in Chattanooga). I know some gamers will want that Ethernet port. Though, not terrible, but this listing also states there is only 1 memory port, when in reality there is 2, so you can expand beyond 32GB in RAM. I bought a 32GB stick to find out there was 2 ports when I went to install, so I ended up getting 48GB of RAM, so nice win. Make sure to fix the product description, these errors could leave to high returns for online orders.
