    The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 is the larger of the newly refreshed gaming laptops from the brand -- sporting a new design that seems to appeal to more than hardcore gamers. While ASUS might be slashing on the gamer aesthetics with a sleeker build, the Zephyrus G16 is still a fantastic gaming notebook capable of way more than just playing popular titles. I was a big fan of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 already, but a bigger 16-inch version might be the definition of the motto: "When bigger means better" -- so let's see if it actually convinces me to go bigger with my portable gaming and work. Here is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16!

    Links to the Newegg April Fools Sale are below! One thing I needed to correct: my Zephyrus G16 actually has the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, which gives it a bit better CPU performance compared to the Core Ultra 7 that I mistakenly said in my script/video. There is a version with the Core Ultra 7, though!

    My only problem with g16 2024 is the hinge. Screen wobbles too much for my liking. The temperature is ok under load. It does get scorching hot above the keyboard where the heatpipes on both fans are. My biggest complain is there’s no rubber strip around the display like MacBooks. Every time I close the lid, it feels and sound like two metal smashing. I’m so conscious about it that I have to slowly close it.
    Honestly, it’s not worth the money with 16GB ram. OLED is all the rage atm, but that doesn’t justify the price considering there’s Lenovo Legion 7i 2024 with better thermal design and 32GB ram for the same price.
    Don’t get me started on the fans. If you’re not a big fan of noise. You’re not gonna like this. Even at quiet mode, the fans are still running.

    Yes, catch-22. The larger display and chassis are positives, but the size over 14 inches makes it less portable. I have this issue, and my solution was to have an ultra-portable MB Air and a desktop replacement MB Pro 16 for home. It's the best of both worlds and means they last longer as each takes half the load compared to just one device. I do not game, so I'm coming from a pro-user perspective.
    My take on Windows laptops this year is: please don't bother. Whereas the M3 in Macs is a major upgrade, the Intel 14th gen/Core Ultra is a sideways upgrade, as is the AMD gen 2024. If you want a Windows ultrabook, wait for the Snapdragon X Elite. Everything should be better next year, so I will wait for them. Also, Windows laptops seem comparable to Macs now in price, so they have lost their value take. Macs remain the best choice for ultrabooks, but obviously not for gamers.
