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

SQ - Depends on your sound card, not really. Try finding better drivers for exact model.TPad - Use mousePrinter - Also driver.

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.

dont pay 1700 for a 3 month warranty man. thats basically half a new laptop with zero reliability. sell the g16 as parts - with working igpu and screen you could probably get 600-800 on ebay. then put that toward a 2025 model. the 2025 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 runs about 2500 and at least you get full

I just received the 2025 model from Best Buy about 5 days ago. I got that model because of the price drop. I returned to the site and there was a price match button. The price went down again since I bought it and they refunded me $50. Nice! I’ve had no problems with the issues I’ve been reading abo

Only pay that much for a 4060, when the laptop has a great screen, and premium build. I bought a Zephyrus G16 4060 for 1.7L, Has a 2.6K OLED 240Hz screen, sleek asf only 1.5KG, looks like a MacBook on steroids. Lenovo is infamous for its cheap materials, go for ASUS ROG

I have only owned a Zephyrus G16, never a Razer Blade, so I'm chiming in just to vouch for the build quality of the ASUS. It's rock solid, had it for a year already and I use it in the office as well as literally on my knee on dirty job sites and it's held up perfectly for a little over a year now.

Hey, speaking from experience, based on flexibility, power and also the build quality, I would highly recommend an Asus ROG Zephyrus series. They updated, the look back in 2024, and now have the closest build quality to a MacBook. Here is a US link to a approximately same budget laptop https://shop.

Engineer here, I know this thread is a few months old but I recently purchased the 2025 G16 and had the same issues it seems other had here. I disassembled the laptop and found the root cause of the rattle. It seems to be an issue with tolerance on the trackpad mounting assembly. Which explains why

You can still get a G16 if ur set on it, I have my complaints but the build is honestly pretty good... Hard to find a laptop with that performance, display, speakers, and trackpad. especially one that can do 10+h on battery. Just in case I didn't explain well enough. There are two variants of the G1
