90% Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) review: A gaming beast masquerading as an ultraportable laptop
Source: Tech2.in.com English
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, is a standout choice for both gamers and creators. What’s really impressive is how the processor combines speed with efficiency, effortlessly handling gaming and multitasking without draining the battery or slowing down. Asus has really hit the mark with this one, and has created a laptop that’s not just about raw power, but about how easy and enjoyable it is to actually use day-to-day, and how good it looks. For creators, the G16 offers just the right balance of performance and hardware, making it a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable machine without overpaying for features they won’t use.

Source: Root Nation English
In summary, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 series can be considered a solid line of premium laptops. They are well-suited for both gaming and work. The design is stylish and high-end, with excellent build quality, a stunning OLED display and sound, strong performance, and decent battery life. As for the GA605WI-QR107X model specifically, it’s a well-executed device. However, to be honest, the price could be a bit more reasonable. The key question is: which laptop is the better choice — the new AMD model or the previous Intel version with the same 4070 GPU? Let’s think this through. If your budget isn’t a concern and you’re looking for a more powerful laptop with a newer processor, then the GA605WI-QR107X is your best option.

80% Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) review: an AMD upgrade
Source: The Verge English
Asus succeeds in delivering a great machine for gamers who don’t want their laptops to live on their desk, as well as content creators. The color-accurate, high refresh rate screen looks fantastic displaying any type of content, the speakers are just about the best you can find on a Windows laptop, and the port selection, especially the full-sized SD card reader, is good enough for photographers and video editors, though the lack of an ethernet jack is conspicuous. The price remains the biggest sticking point for either model of the G16. I’ve seen the Intel version on sale for as low as $1,400, which undercuts less expensive, chunkier competitors with similar specs like the Alienware m16 R2 or the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and even Asus’ own ProArt line aimed squarely at artists.

96% ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (GA605) review: A spectacular laptop for creatives…and gamers
Source: Techaeris English
I’m just going to come out and say it. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is one of my two favorite laptops of 2024. It sits right at the top next to the Surface 7 Laptop and I really cannot choose one or the other. I highly recommend this laptop for both content creators and gamers. For normal users, this might be a bit too much power and a bit pricey. But there are other ASUS options like the S16 or S14 for those who want to save some money and do not need this much power.

Source: Ultrabook Review English
As a portable all-purpose laptop, this Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 series remains one of the most interesting options in its class, with the premium design, excellent inputs and OLED display and audio, and the capable hardware that allows plenty of performance in anything you might throw at it. In fact, this is even more powerful now in this refresh with AMD Strix Point hardware and extra RAM. But it's a rather tough sell at current prices, especially compared to the discounted Intel G16 variants.

90% A great combination of performance and portability: review of the ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop from ASUS
Source: Mezha EN English
In my opinion, this year's ROG Zephyrus G16 is perhaps the best offer for those users who need to combine performance and portability in one laptop. The manufacturer has managed to combine excellent components into one really beautiful and comfortable device, provide a good level of performance, and still leave room for a certain amount of autonomy (as far as it can be said about a gaming model). However, as is always the case in such cases, the price of such a laptop is far from affordable. Yes, simpler configurations can significantly reduce the price tag, but performance will have to be sacrificed. And no one wants to do that.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GA605 review – A Thin and Solid Gaming Laptop With Caveats
Source: Laptop Media English
If you need a new thin and powerful laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G16 GA605 could be on your shortlist. It’s a well-built solid metal device with a great keyboard and touchpad. The other feature that could catch the buyer’s attention is the optional color-accurate OLED display (ATNA60DL04-0 (SDC41AE)). The 240Hz screen with HDR capabilities covers fully the sRGB and the DCI-P3 gamuts. It’s not a PWM-free unit but its pulsations have a high frequency of 961Hz which makes the screen comfortable for work. Actually, the writer of this review didn’t experience any kind of eye strain or headaches after a day of usage. Still, you can find an OLED Flicker-Free Dimming slider in the Aromory Crate app that could be useful for more sensitive users.

80% Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (Ryzen AI 9) review: A killer deal would make this a killer gaming laptop
Source: Laptop Mag English
Asus threw an impressive piece of tech on my lap. There’s little I don’t adore about the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16. Yes, the keyboard needs work, but the rest of it is great, from the performance and design to the display and speakers. Not to mention that workday-long battery life. However, I cannot recommend buying it at its asking price. If you need something right this second, then try the Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 for $1,849 at Best Buy. It offers stronger overall performance, a brighter display, and a much more comfortable keyboard and touchpad. Otherwise, I would wait until the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 goes on sale. Long battery life and strong speakers are more rare than you might think.

Source: Ultrabook Review English
This Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 GA605W series is an excellent portable performance laptop. The premium design, excellent inputs and OLED display and audio, and the capable hardware that allows plenty of performance in anything you might throw at it are among the strong points of this series. But it's not without some quirky particularities, and is also quite expensive, especially in this version with the RTX 4060 and 32 GB of RAM.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
