This is a glossy panel with a selection of 28 fully customizable RGB mini LEDs.
The actual construction is rock solid, too.
The display can be easily lifted with one hand, though with some wobble to the main hinge.

Features
The 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is more of an iterative upgrade under the hood.
Plus, you might not be able to get that OLED display panel in thicker models.
And this screen absolutely sings.
Below, you’ll find a crisp white keyboard with everything you need (barring a number pad).
Everything is nicely sized and spaced - apart from the arrow keys.
Just beneath that keyboard sits a behemoth of a trackpad.
It’s a massive work surface and made for excellent precision movement during productivity tasks.
The configuration you choose will determine which cooling features you receive.
Sound is incredibly powerful here - with far more bass than I’ve come to expect from slimline machines.
Overall, the performance certainly isn’t anything to be sniffed at.
There aren’t many gaming laptops measuring just 1.7cm thick and still scoring over 30,000 points in Fire Strike.
Total War: Three Kingdoms presents a bit more of a challenge, especially in QHD+ resolutions.
The slimline chassis does make itself known here, though.
Returnal and Hitman 3 are more demanding benchmarks with heavier lighting and texture sequences.
Results are pretty even, with both older devices pulling ahead slightly.
