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.

70% Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
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.

I spent a month with the RTX 5080-equipped Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 — here's why it falls short
Source: Tom's Guide English
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.

90% Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2025 review (GU605CR- Ultra 9 285H, RTX 5070Ti)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
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.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop: The GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile uses the GB203 chip and utilizes 10,496 shaders / CUDA cores of the maximum 10,752 that the chip has. This makes the RTX 5090 Laptop more similar to the RTX 5080 desktop variant (same chip) than the Desktop RTX 5090 with 20,760 cores and higher clock rates.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop: An upcoming graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which Team Green will most likely present at CES 2025. We assume that it will be based on GB205 chip, with 5,888 active unified shaders (CUDA cores).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop: A fast graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops that is based on the GB203 chip and uses 8,192 shaders and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory (256-bit graphics bus).

Intel Arrow Lake:

Ultra 9 285H: High-end mobile processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture with 16 cores divided into 3 clusters. The 6 fast P-cores clock at up to 5.4 GHz. There are also 8 smaller E-cores with up to 4.5 GHz and 2 small low power cores (same architecture) with up to 2.5 GHz. The SoC integrates a small NPU with 13 TOPS peak performance and supports vPro Enterprise.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
