- Premium price and mediocre keyboard remain drawbacks

## Summary

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) is presented as a premium, highly portable 16-inch gaming laptop that combines a slim 4.3lb design with strong gaming and everyday performance. Its appeal lies in offering high-end components and a vivid OLED display without the bulk of more powerful, heavier gaming machines, although this convenience comes at a substantial price.

The reviewed configuration uses an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, an RTX 5080 graphics card, 64GB of memory and a 1TB SSD, with a 16-inch 2,560 x 1,600, 240Hz OLED screen; prices start at $3,699 and the tested model costs $4,799. It delivered good battery life for its class—up to 14 hours in general use—while drawbacks include the expensive proprietary charger and an unchanged, relatively shallow chiclet keyboard.
