The 2024 Asus Zephyrus G16 is a gaming laptop that is incredibly thin and light compared to the competition! Not only that, but it boasts other incredible features such as a Gsync OLED display, best-in-class speakers, and a CNC aluminum chassis, easily making it one of the most premium laptops currently on the market. Specs include Nvidia RTX 4060, 4070, 4080, or 4090 graphics, and Intel’s new Core Ultra CPU’s. How do these specs hold up in 2024? Is it too good to be true? Let’s find out!
We'll also compare it to other laptops like the Razer Blade 16, Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, and Zephyrus G14.
