Asus is a well-known company, particularly among people who identify as gamers. Or perhaps serious gamers, those who currently own or intend to purchase a computer or laptop specifically for their gaming requirements. The brand's newest gaming laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G16, is available in India.
The ROG logo, which stands for Republic of Gamers, indicates that this is a high-end gaming device, as the name would imply. Another hint is the Zephyrus, which denotes that this laptop has the best gaming hardware available.
best in class? Yes, but what exactly is it? With an Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card and an Intel Core i9 processor, the Zephyrus G16 has a lot of power. Additionally, the laptop has a premium 240Hz display, RGB lighting, and a stylish design. But are the impressive specs provide a reliable performance and are Rs 1,79,900 well spent on this laptop? Let's investigate.
Review of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16: Design, Display, and Build
Since the previous models of the Zephyrus garnered positive reviews, Asus probably decided not to change the design for the current edition. However, despite the usage of polycarbonate material, I can state that the new Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 has a sturdy construction.Â
In relation to it, the lid's minimal wobble is due to the strong hinge. The lid has an anime matrix display that looks amazing and is a special feature we only see on Asus laptops that enable users to create creative lighting animations. The display may be fully pushed outward to rest flat on a surface thanks to the hinge mechanism. If you are also using the laptop for work, this is helpful when you need to demonstrate anything on the screen to a group of people or your coworkers in an office. Speaking of which, the laptop's performance indicates that it excels at tasks other than gaming.Â
For a gaming laptop, the laptop's weight of 2 kg is modest. In fact, the lightweight design strengthens its case as a laptop with multiple purposes (work and play).
The Zephyrus G16 boasts a lot of ports, thanks to Asus. Along with HDMI connectors, two USB Type-C ports, two USB Type-A ports, and a microSD card reader, there is also an ethernet port. It's encouraging to see that manufacturers are continuing to include an audio connector because some individuals still use wired headphones or earphones. One thing to keep in mind is that all of its Type-C ports may be used for charging, which offers extra convenience if the main charge port is obstructed by a connector, as sometimes happens.
A lot of air vents are necessary for gaming laptops to effectively dissipate heat. There are several of them on the Zephyrus G16. Users have access to three fan speed adjustment settings, and during gaming sessions, they can switch from Performance to Turbo mode to keep their laptops cool.
