[SCAM ALERT] ASUS Refuses Replacement after 3rd Motherboard Failure on ₹2.5 Lakh ROG Strix. Staff says "Do whatever you can."

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

2026 G14/G16 Release date & pricing?

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.

Looking for powerful laptop capabilities of 3d modelling and rendering

I would say look at the asus proart p16 or the asus rog zephyrus g16. They are both pretty professional looking and with ghelper(absolute must have) they can be tweaked to get really good battery or crush 3d tasks(you cant have both). The proart is basically just a more professional G16, they share

Should I buy a Zephyrus G14 (2025)

i’d treat this as a solid buy decision if your expectation is balanced gaming and class use on the road, and i’ve seen this model class behave well when settings are clean. For your exact ask, ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025 RTX 5060) is usually stronger for portability and carrying confidence, while AS

Considering ProArt P16 (RTX 5090/5080, 64GB, 2TB) for AI/Robotics — Need reliability feedback to convince my Dad.

I owe a MacBook Pro and an Asus Zephyrus G16 (basically the same laptop as the P16 but marketed towards gamers). The MacBook feels like a tank and the Asus feels like a wobbly creaky piece of shit. I mean it - the hinge creaks every time I open the laptop (super common issue with Asus, check Reddit)

Reason not to get 2025 model?

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

$1700 Repair Bill From Asus - 2024 G16 4080

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

My dad had promised me to get a gaming laptop for myself after boards

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

Razer Blade OR Zephyrus ?

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.
