Made a mistake when I was showing the chargers. I was holding the wrong ones lol. The ASUS G16 uses a 240W power brick for the 4080/4090 and a 200W brick for the 4070.
What do you guys think of t he ASUS G16?

Damn 4:50 the webcam test really shows how flappy the screen is. I hope it could be easily fixed by tightening up the screws.

says the laptops shows finger prints, then touches the laptop and leaves no finger prints haha

Bueautiful Design but still the same mistake RAM soldered...Asus C'MON.

I can confirm there is zero screen wobble on my device. I duno if these review units are different but i have no screen wobble or flex at all

Thank you so much for taking time to show the power bricks as most people dont, i travel for work so its really important for me and then the sockets where i work only take 10amps, so this is perfect. i guess this will run decent on usb-c aswell

The timing on this release is pretty perfect for me. Been looking for the thinnest gaming laptop that doesn't have a crazy amount of leds or overly dramatic lines/accents. One that wouldn't look out of place at the office or in the library, but is more than capable for gaming. This seems to fit that description to a tee

I have this pc for like 5 months, ive been using it on middle to high demanding games and for school (IT) and for me its the perfect double use laptop ever. When im gaming i use a laptop cooler because it does get hot sometimes but when i play games like fortnite, rocket league on 144hz, temps never exceed 60-65 (depending on temperature outside) and on rdr2 its like 70-75 (also weather). For school its an obvious overkill but its amazing at everything. Only complaint maybe is the price and how fast the battery depletes

[Reaper]

Still looks like the near perfect laptop, but man, that amount of screen wobble is absolutely horrifying.

[aoikemono]

Timespy seems odd. The 4090 from ultrabookreview unit got 16.2k on turbo. I was expecting 15k or something for the 4080. Their silent mode also had 35db at head level. I'm guessing the fan noise here was measured directly at the exhaust vent instead.

[RyanColeman]

Will a double sided NVME fit in that secondary m.2 slot?

[eIectrostatic]

Wait, why would you need to reboot when switching between internal and external GPU:s?? I thought the G16 has Advanced Optimus which can handle the switching without rebooting?

[KyrptoMilo]

Did you mention anything about battery life? Did you get 10 hours? I’m looking at either getting this one or the 2023 m16. Thanks I think the m16 battery life is poor.

[Tetelestai-cwqy]

I literally don't care about how it compares to a Mac which is always inferior because it can't game.

[bryans]

Thanks for the review Matt. The G16 looks like it would be a worthy successor to my VivoBook S15. Everything is better but I especially like the improved screen and speakers.

[BoomerCosmo]

I didn't know you had another channel! Cool seeing the BMWi review.

[Alovias]

Now my question is how long that oled is going to last.

[eaglecuds]

Specs are great, but, would you recommend this as an option to the macbook m-series specially on the battery life?

[stanningallgroup]

i was waiting for the new g16 but since i needed a new laptop quickly i went with the slim 7i. watching this made me realize my expectation on this laptop were too high lol

[sachinthamadubashana]

Hi, I am a software engineering student in second year. I am looking for upgrade my old laptop to a new, lightweight and powerful laptop. I also studying game development. Should i go with zephyrus M16(2023) model or G16(2024). Do you have any recommendation for that.
