Asus has updated its slim ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop. For the 2025 models, the top-of-the-line version will feature an Arrow Lake processor and the new GeForce RTX 5090. The RAM remains soldered, but the maximum memory capacity has been doubled to 64 GB.
If you want the slimmest gaming notebook with the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop, you currently have the choice between the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 and the Razer Blade 16. But the performance is not everything.

Even with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU on board, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is an excellent gaming and multimedia laptop. However, the price remains quite high at €3,399, while the comparable Razer Blade 16 is a substantial €400 less expensive.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) is a generally lovely laptop, with a crisp OLED screen, gorgeous looks and a great port selection. However, its performance isn’t anywhere near as strong as its key rivals, and its battery life is especially disappointing, making it a harder sell than in previous years, especially for its high price. For instance, the Medion Erazer Beast 16 X1 Ultimate (RTX 5090) is only slightly more, and while it may sacrifice an OLED screen in favour of a Mini LED one and some level of portability and style, it comes with a lot more power, as good of a port selection, and much better battery life. The ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) is a lovely laptop, but just not for that zanily high price. For more options, check out our list of the best gaming laptops we’ve tested.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) has all the makings of a stylish, powerful gaming laptop that's worth a second glance, combining the power of Intel Core Ultra 2 with an RTX 5080 in a super sleek, lightweight design with a gorgeous OLED display. But its performance surprisingly falls short, which makes its high price all the more puzzling.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is one of the better laptops available today in the niche of premium lightweight formats with a large 16-inch display and solid multi-purpose performance capabilities for work, gaming and daily use. The 2025 refresh comes with more RAM and Blackwell GPUs and a price increase, but the Ultra 9 + RTX 5070Ti version reviewed here is arguably the better-value choice among the multitude of configuration options. This is Intel only, though; too bad there's no AMD variant with similar graphics capabilities.
