There are many of laptops for gaming. We put a representative of the current generation through our testing just before the new laptops with updated Raptor Lake and RTX 40xx technologies become available, and the results are actually rather amazing.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 earns an award from us and merits a buy recommendation with a reference to the new products thanks to its performance in our testing with a Core i9-12900H and RTX 3070 Ti. This combination exhibits numerous strengths and scarcely any flaws.

The 2,560 x 1,600-pixel, 16:10, 165 Hz, brilliant 16-inch display, strong processing performance, and long battery life are all things we enjoy. Even the smallest aspects are taken care of by Asus, such as the M16’s four speakers, which provide sound quality that is far superior than what many rivals can provide. Thunderbolt 4, Power Delivery, and two USB-C ports are further practical hardware features.

The RTX 3070 Ti’s TGP of 120 W prevents it from operating at peak performance, yet the gaming laptop is still quite quiet and cool despite this. Learn out what the laptop can do in our in-depth evaluation.
