Smart and stylish design Excellent keyboard Powerful, high-end Nvidia graphics Beautiful 240Hz screen AniMe matrix adds a lot of flair

RTX 4090 can't shine in this size Battery life is a bit weak

“The Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 is powerful and highly portable, but skip the RTX 4090 configuration.”

Excellent design ; Decent battery life ; Powerful specs

Not widescreen ; Slightly noisy ; Relatively pricey

The Asus ROG Zephyrus brings with it some very decent hardware specs and lots more besides: excellent audio, a very comfortable keyboard, and a top class screen. While it's not quite a perfect gaming laptop, it certainly has enough about it to attract...

16:10 QHD screen ; There is a webcam ; Great keyboard ; Lightweight and portable

Maxes out at an RTX 3060 ; Pricey for its specs ; Finnicky touchpad

Asus’ ROG Zephyrus M16 is a good laptop marred by limited specs and a price that’s too high for them. It’s powered by Intel’s Core i9-11900H and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060, and its performance and battery life don’t hold up to other products at this...

Would trade the Core i9 for an RTX 3070 ; Gets warm

The Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 features incredible performance, a vivid 16-inch display and decent battery life. It’s (almost) everything you could want in a gaming laptop.

Superb gaming and processing power ; A bold, high-quality Mini LED display ; Slim, light and sturdy enclosure ; Cheaper than forthcoming competitors

Rivals will be even faster ; Occasionally hot and loud ; Mediocre connectivity and ergonomics ; AniMe Matrix is underwhelming

No shortage of gaming grunt, and the miniLED screen is amazing – but this slim, sturdy notebook will almost certainly be outpaced by beefier competitors

beautiful sober design ; improved build quality and ergonomics over the previous gens ; awesome miniLED display ; good inputs and updated IO ; updated hardware and excellent performance for the class ; updated thermal module ; excellent audio
