Asus Zephyrus G16 Review (RTX 4060), Unboxing, Benchmarks, 5+ Games, Overclock, Display Test, More!

[@benjaminpeterson6151]

I feel like Asus should keep it simple: Make the “G” lineup (G14,G15,G16) AMD + NVIDIA (with some AMD advantage) then make the “M” lineup Intel + NVIDIA (m16, and new m14/15) . Honestly, I feel like Asus’s move to intel isn’t that bad, especially when you consider the g16 is basically the m16 from last year with newer internals and cheaper.

[@AdamGbl95]

I just got this laptop with the 4060 and FHD screen. Coming from an old g14 with a 3060, this is a big upgrade. Esepcially getting it for less $ on sale at best buy for $1049 brand new with plenty still in stock locally. Though its a fhd screen, the screen and screen colors are more vivid and clearer than my old fhd g14. Anyone looking to upgrade from an older model without spending much more money definitely needs to get this. And its even cooler than my old g14 with great performance and everything is smoother. The bluetooth works fine as well. And I was surprised it definitely doesnt feel as hot as my old g14.

Finding this video review is pure bliss after scoring this Zephyrus G16(QHD+, i9-13900h, RTX4060 variant) for about $1700CAD/$1500USD last Black Friday. I'm aware its not the exact variant as the video but I'm expecting my variant to be a tad better both in performance and overall user experience. These thin Zephyrus lineup are really a great bang for buck especially when you find a good deal! These are $2200CAD/$2000USD Brand new! Unfortunately limited stocks is an issue here. Personally I dont think I there's value in buying past RTX 4060 in this current gen. I do like the i9+RTX4060 combo in this thin chassis tho, very slick and not giving off gamer vibe.

Honestly, I think battery is the most important part of a laptop, because of whole point of laptop is convenience. Asus switching to Intel personally I think is such a bad move.

[@danny200mph5]

If your so concerned about battery life, get an ultra book or Macbook. If your gaming you NEED TO BE PLUGGED IN.

[@Meczox]

@@danny200mph5 most people have gaming as a hobby, so getting macbooks etc is not plausible.

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

@@danny200mph5 Bro you are buying a portable laptop, of course battery life is a concern. Do you literally only game and not do anything other than gaming?!! Don't you casually browse the web, write scripts, code or binge watch videos?? Intel laptops fall flat in this critical department. The Ryzen 9 7945HX hits like 35000 points at only 120W vs i9-13980HX which only scores 32k points on average with balls to the walls 200W power draw. Similarly the 7940HS hits 18k points with only a peak of 65W-70W.

[@techstation365]

@@AgastyaXV bro there are no 2 sides. There is only one direction moving forward and that is to focus on performance per watt. Why are you making it sound like it's not possible to have "BOTH"??! Why can't we expect the versatility of x86 and efficiency of ARM without sacrificing upgradability (not possible but as close as possible). If AMD can hit 18000 points at 65W peak and 17k at 45W-55W, why can't we expect the same from Intel? We want efficient Gaming laptops. That's all. I am on an Intel Helios 300, and for sure I'm going AMD this time. After experiencing some Ryzen 4000 and 5000 laptops, it's literally a night and day experience, it's like you get a new level of freedom. You can literally use a Ryzen gaming laptop with tiny 57Whr battery for 6 hrs straight. My elder brother who is a teacher carries his HP Pavilion Gaming 15 to school without the charger. He uses it for office work/screen sharing etc... Comes home and plugs it in for gaming! That's true versatility! I hope everybody wants that!

[@AgastyaXV]

@@techstation365 but again in the end it's up to you, you have the choice to choose so. Performance per watt is obviously the best case in either case But if you want efficient things, you may choose that product Some people would be willing to loose a few hours of capacity, or take the hassle to carry a charger around because they could justify it over extra performance. You can literally undervolt/set thermal clock limits to heavy laptops if you want to chase per per watt. As per Intel, they have generally always sucked more power, even at the same architecture, Intel will probably be willing to suck up more energy to get the extra performance and then there is their nm architecture which can't come to the same standard as amd so soon as they had years of backlog essentially. If you want battery over everything, lighter/more efficient notebooks exist You're basically saying supercars shouldn't exist as normal cars are fast, but again there's different products for different people and I don't see any loss in here being extra thick performance laptops apart from thin ones

hey gizmo, this g16 sku is all around really bad lol... there's a higher tiered one that gives you 2560x1600 16:10 240hz display, 1tb, 13900H... for $200 usd more.. Imo this does not warrant $300 more than a g5. Either maybe get the G5 or just get the higher tiered g16 mentioned above.

[@GizmoSlipTech]

Where did you find this i9/QHD sku for $200 more? I have not seen it for sale anywhere. Thanks for pointing it out if it is real. I disagree with you about this sku being bad though. One key thing to keep in mind is that some people will actually prefer a FHD+ display over the QHD+ because you'll get much higher FPS at native resolution on this lower tier GPU, and many won't be able to see the increased resolution at 16" display, or don't think it's worth the performance hit even if they can see it, so this SKU should be better for maximizing smoothness over detail in games. The i9-13900H is almost the same processor, just has 4 more e-cores and slightly higher clocks--so don't think it'll actually make that big of a difference in this situation since it isn't a HX processor. I don't think you'll see much performance gains except in multicore render loads. The i9 CPU to buy this year is the HX version that has way more cores/threads--but can only be found in thicker notebooks typically.

Also, you're making frame generation seem like it's the best thing since sliced bread but its only available in like 30 games. By the time it's in a mass number of games, we'll be on the 5000 series where Nvidia has frame gen 2.0. and you'll be telling us to buy those over the 4000 series lol

Thanks for the comment! It’s good to double check myself. I don’t think you’re factoring portability into the equation. The Legion 5 is heavier and thicker than this machine, significantly. But I literally mention the Legion 5 as the best competitor to this one in this video. The G16 has better CPU, windows hello, arguably better display, much more portable, smaller size with bigger display… the legion has its pros too though mainly with better raw gpu performance and larger SSD, though it also costs $50 more. Frame gen is a game changer. You need to try it to believe it imo. In frame gen games, this laptop will CRUSH the legion 5 3070 ti by huge margins and have much smoother and playable gameplay in more games years from now. You’re acting as if frame gen doesn’t exist/make a difference. It all depends on the type of games you play. If you play single player games mainly, frame gen is the biggest boost to smoother gameplay we have seen in 10 years.

@@GizmoSlipTech Yeah, crush the 3070Ti in 30 while being worse in 50,000 non frame gen ones lol. You sound like Jensen with that pitch there. As I said, by the time its mass implemented, there will be a better frame gen with the 5000 series, mark my words. Its like when Nvidia shilled us on ray tracing for the 2000 series. But as someone who owned a mobile 2070, the feature was worthless because there were barely games that supported it and performance was bad on the ones that did have RT. It wasn't until the 3000 series where it was actually implemented well. Also, I think you're ONLY factoring frame gen and portability. Legion has a better screen, faster RAM, better CPU, quieter fans, bigger SSD, better pure GPU performance. So 2 things the Asus has over the 6 or more the Lenovo has over it. I like you and you seem like a nice dude, but man, I just find myself disagreeing with a lot of your views a good amount if I'm honest lol. Nothing personal though.

​@Jonathan R make your own detailed review breakdown comparison please. What are the 2 from asus and 6 from legion?

[@GizmoSlipTech]

@@jonathanr4160 The Legion 5 display is not better. It is a 16:9. Lower FHD resoltion, same gamut/brightness. The G16 would be arguably better since it is 16:10. Legion 5 does not have windows hello. Legion 5 weighs more. Legion 5 is thicker. Legion 5 has a slower multicore processor with less cores. Legion 5 costs $50 more, and you can’t buy it from a better retailer like BestBuy. The Zephyrus G16 also has better speakers. I think you are defending the Legion 5 so much because you are emotionally attached to it. The legion 5 is also a great laptop, but there is a lot more to a latop than just pure GPU performance. I could see why someone would want either laptop. I am not just factoring in frame gen as I am recomemnding both laptops for different purposes, but I think it is clear in 4 years from now, thr Zephyrus G16 would crush the Legion 5 after most games enable frame gen. And I appreciate the thought out post! But I also think this is different than RTX implementation since frame gen isn’t even available on rtx 3000 series at all.

[@jonathanr4160]

@@GizmoSlipTech Oh Gizmo... I think you're just emotionally damaged over my critiques lol. The legion 5 pro display isn't noticeably better?! lol.. 16:10, 1440P, 500 nits, 165hz vs 16:10, 1080p, less than 300 nits, 165hz.. I think you're thinking of the regular legion 5, which I've been saying the Pro version since we've been going back and fourth, so you're wrong there. The legion 5 pro with the i7 12700H has MORE cores/threads (6 p cores, 8 e cores, 20 threads) than this ( 6 p cores, 4 e cores, 16 threads) so wrong again. I said the only 2 things this has going for it is size (You basically combined than into 2 points with thickness/weight) and frame gen. Speakers sure. I'll give you that but its not like you're getting Macbook Pro quality speakers with either. Windows Hello? Uh yeah I'm sure plenty of people want that feature over a better CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD Size, etc.... What does it matter if I'm buying from Best Buy or not? if you want to make that argument theres a 3070Ti helios for $1500 there right now at BB too lol Also, for this smart-ass reply "You're emotionally attached to the Legion 5", you're losing a subscriber (not that you care I know) Really professional to say to a subscriber because someone disagrees with the mighty Gizmosliptech lol. You only come around during the "new launch" era stuff and leave soon after anyways, so its not like I watch your stuff regularly to begin with even before this disagreement. Jarrod at least provides more detailed content, benchmarks, and is consistent in his video uploads throughout the year while not saying incorrect statements like you are lol. Can get plenty of info I need from him and others. Take care bud!

Intel is seriously crippling these laptops! Efficiency/Performance per watt is absolutely tossed down the drain! Don't people do other casual stuff other than gaming?! We browse the web, write scripts, code or binge watch videos on a Friday evening. I mean that's why we buy Windows Gaming Laptops! For the versatility of work and play! Intel 13th gen absolutely falling flat in this critical department! E-cores are supposed to increase battery life, not lower it!! Pheonix Range is just way superior. Some initial numbers show 18.3k points (probably with 65W peak). Patiently waiting for Asus TUF Gaming F15 with 7940HS and 140W RTX 4060 and 90Whr battery(Malaysian Price - 5999 RM, Indian Price expected around 125k).

Thank you so much for the review. I am contemplating between G15 (2022) vs G16 (2023) model. I use it mainly for gaming and casual work. Can you advise which is better please? The shop assistant was gearing me to buy the G15 for the 3080 graphic card. I'm also looking for a more "future proof" laptop which can hopefully last me for the next 5 years. Thank you so much!

look up reviews for that model which came out last year. specs look good but based on reviews everywhere it didn’t live up to the spec sheet
