ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 16" WQXGA 165Hz Gaming Notebook Computer, Intel Core i9-11900H 2.5GHz, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB, Windows 1

Excellent laptop. Switched from another to M16 a few days ago. Here are my observations: Reliably good display with 165Hz refresh. Having HDMI, USB A, lightning ports have been useful. Webcam could have been better but the fingerprint is awesome and works well with Hello. Have not been gaming but OBS and simulations work smoothly running on NVIDIA and Intel UHD GPUs. Power adapter is a bit bulky. I would have chosen 32GB had it been there, instead of 16GB memory. NVIDIA driver may need reinstall for some (as was my case) to get the GPU working. Would have preferred Windows Pro instead of Home. For someone switching from a 14 inch ultra portable, the laptop seems heavier but the 16:10 display, bigger track pad and the keyboard makes up for it.

Best in class Its powerful enough for most anything short of intensive video editing and advanced gaming. It is easy to carry around from place to place, and its able to last all day without needing to be plugged in.

My first laptop purchase and didn't regret it. It has a beautiful screen with great specs and a webcam. Has great performance but gets noisy when it does.

Thats what we call a gaming computer, thats a killer machine, can't compare it to any other brand in the market. Keep it up ASUS

This laptop is useful for students like me who studies during weekdays and plays games on weekends. I like the screen's 16:10 aspect ratio which gives me advantage while playing and reading my ebooks. I play apex on weekends and I get 100+ fps on high settings. I also like the portability of the device as it is light on my backpack when I'am on the go.

This laptop is very impressive. I've had one other gaming laptop in the past (not an ASUS) and it fried its own motherboard because it wasn't truly built to handle the stress that games put on computer internals. This laptop is up to the task, and I have been very impressed with its build quality and well-engineered design. Thus far it has crushed everything I've thrown at it. I would gladly give it five stars if not for two points of criticism: 1) Since purchasing this laptop roughly a month ago, I have encountered 8-10 Blue Screens of Death (BSODs). These have likely been due to either drivers or BIOS, yet even after installing all available updates they have continued to persist. They have not ruined my experience enough to consider returning the laptop, but it has definitely been a concern. One example: while playing a game, I unplugged the (fully charged) laptop so I could bring it to my wife to show her something on screen. Within 10 seconds, the laptop got a BSOD for unexplained reasons. The MyASUS application has a neat feature to help diagnose what might be causing BSODs (and a number of other common laptop issues, from WiFi not connecting properly to slow boot times). Through the use of this feature I have installed some drivers and a couple of BIOS updates. I believe these installations have helped with the issue, but it is still unresolved. 2) This may be a contentious or unfair point. The fans on this laptop are bonkers loud when it runs on "Performance" mode. Yeah, it's a gaming laptop, so obviously the fans should be powerful in order to keep everything cool (or else it might fry its motherboard, like my old gaming laptop). That said, "Performance" mode isn't even the highest setting--that would be "Turbo," or perhaps a user-defined custom fan performance mode--but when the fans kick up, it sounds like a mini jet engine. They're so loud, in fact, that I can't clearly hear the game I'm playing unless I turn the volume up to 60-70%. They're so loud (again, in "Performance" mode) that when my laptop is on the second floor of my home, I can hear them from the first floor. These points aside, I have been very impressed with this laptop. It's up to each individual to determine the extent to which the above points would influence your decision to purchase this laptop. If this were my primary laptop (it is not), I would probably give it 3/5 due to the continuing BSOD issue. That said, given that I'm solely using it as a gaming laptop (and maybe also some Photoshop work), I think it deserves a 4/5 for my purposes.

On it's own the laptop is great, but value wise it could be better compared to other laptops. You'll be getting slightly less GPU performance and battery life than the similarly priced G15 in trade for a better screen and the benefits of having Intel over AMD (such as Thunderbolt). To List it Out: The pros of this laptop are the window-like screen, keyboard, and the overall performance. The main con of this laptop is the price to performance value. The other minute cons include choice of media control keys and F keys, excessive fan noise, longevity questions due to the exhaust blowing in to the bottom of the screen. Only one of the ram sticks are upgradeable, Zephyrus laptops have the inferior mediatek wi-fi card, laptop shows skin moisture easily, and the ROG label writes out Republic of Gamers in text. In my opinion the minute cons aren't a big deal, but I thought it would be important to list them out. I did have a whole more proper review written out, but I feel like no one would want to casually read through all of it. Overall I found this device to be a worthwhile gaming laptop, that's primary flaw is it's value compared to other laptops in the market at the moment, a long with some minor quirks that ASUS brought in. I will also say that I do not feel buyer's remorse, instead I'm pretty satisfied whenever I have to use the device. ASUS made an interesting device with the M16, and will hopefully make a more compelling version next year as the 16 inch laptop market deserves more attention and competition.

I traded up from my ROG g750. I miss the number key pad and the extra inch in the monitor, but the Zepherus is much lighter in weight. The sound out of the speakers is very average and I have it turned up to 97 most of the time because it's so low to hear in my game subtle sounds. Graphics are great as usual for nVidia. Last criticism is the heat..... the deck gets HOT. Fans blow like crazy,, are loud, and vents RIGHT onto the screen because of the new screen raised design. That cannot be good for longevity of the colors and screen. I'm thinking this one won't last another 10 years

Ruined with some crazy backlight bleed and faulty fingerprint hardware. Gaming was difficult on a 1440p with only a 3060 mobile, you need at least a 3070 with 110w+ for a good experience. Not using the native resolution is blurry and defeats the purpose. If you can get a good quality unit, you wont be disappointed but this is marketed towards productivity first and gaming secondary. Also, the screen is the best part so dont get this as a desktop replacement. So long as theres no backlight bleed, or its minimal.

The laptop came defective, the screen didn't work, I returned it to the store and ask for my money back, I am a fan of asus but this disappointed me, I need to think if I want to purchase this laptop again as I've been using a macbook since 2014 and is very solid
