ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CR-XS97

I went through the same process and honestly at this point I gave up. I have an ASUS Zephyrus G16. It got bricked three times under initial six months. Each time it went to warranty and they replaced the motherboard. It’s “fixed” now and I’m typing this on the same Zephyrus, but it still has stupid

Hey OP - I just checked the Asus US site and I do see the 5080 SKU listed now. But damn, its 4800... yea I'm wondering if they were better off not listing it given I can't imagine ANYONE is paying almost 5K for a 5080 14inch + 1TB SSD laptop when just last year $4K got you a 5090 + 64GB RAM + 2TB in

Yap, a disappointment indeed. I imagine that now with the prices out a lot of the previous gen stock will sell out, as the price is way more competitive as of now. For the potential price of the 2026 RTX 5070ti model in Asus page (even $100 less) you can get the 2025 RTX 5080 with 64GB RAM and 2TB S

https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g16-2026/spec/ Guys, 5070ti (granted with 64gb of ram) on U.S. E-Store is listed at $3700. 5080 at $4800. They’re literally insane. They finally made the laptop perfect, then decided to charge double the sale price of 2025 models.

Just installed it on my ASUS Zephyrus G16 and surprisingly good functionality out of the box. Had to do a couple tweaks/use a couple of tools for turning off lighting and enabling OLED dimming. Really impressed with it so far. Solid battery life too.

The G16 2025 exhausts from the rear. I have the white/silver version so the exhaust vents are black. They point directly to the rear underneath the panel, and also downwards. The downwards facing vent is immediately to the rear of the back rubber stand. So, in my (limited so far) experience you have

It depends on which gaming laptop we're talking about; personally I really like the thin & light gaming laptops, stuff like: HP Omen Transcend 14 Acer Predator Triton 14 Asus Zephyrus G14/G16 Lenovo Legion 7 PS - the ProArt P16 is just a black Zephyrus G16 with AMD instead of Intel😉
