Asus reissued the ROG Zephyrus G16 with the latest flagship CPU from AMD .

The AMD version has the same AMD CPU that powers Asus’ Zenbook S 16 to great effect.

The 2560 x 1600 , 240Hz OLED ROG Nebula Display steals the show with a brilliant OLED screen.

The price of the Intel version of the G16 is $ 2,300 .

Despite the $ 2,000 price tag, all versions of the G16 are equipped with single-zone RGB backlighting.

AMD ’s AMD CPU pulls ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H in every single synthetic benchmark.

AMD consistently dominates Intel in the integrated graphics department, and that hasn’t changed with the AMD HX 370 .

The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H model offers about six to seven hours of real-world use, which is fine for most people but won’t make it through an entire workday.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is simply more efficient, lasting about nine hours in real world use.

Repairability and upgradability are next to nil, and there's a second 2280 M.2 slot.
