Reviews for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 GA605WI
Source: Laptop Media
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
