That was for the 4070 version which is handicapped by a soldered, non-upgradeable 16 GB of RAM. Looking back historically, Asus is discounting all of their Zephyrus computers periodically, but that discount was particularly steep given the revulsion to the 16GB of RAM which angered a lot of us. It was heavily discounted given the absurdity of a nearly $2k laptop with 16GB of RAM. This version is well equipped, but the price is still absurdly high. A +$900 "on sale" price premium down from an eyes-bleeding $1300 price premium is still a pretty crazy markup for 32 vs 16GB of RAM, a 4080 vs a 4070 and a vapor chamber to cool it. Great computer, obnoxious greedy executives who bungled the pricing and specs.

The 16GB 4070 shouldn't exist, there should be a 32GB 4070 version for $1600 and a 32GB 4080 version for $2k. Those would sell very well. Too bad Asus messed up.

@Dr. Wajahat - I noticed you're on top of the Zephryus G16 4070 deals. Any idea when this might get back down to $1399 or $1499?

I appreciate your input. I've been eyeing this one. Not sure if I should pull the trigger or try to wait until Black Friday or just wait til the 5000 graphics cards. Can't imagine what those are going to cost though.

You got that right... This is way overpriced still. It'll be 1999 VERY soon. Likely around prime day competition in few weeks

Great laptop out of all the purchases I've made. I have 2024 G16 i9 32GB 2TB 4090 model. Handles games smoothly and the OLED Screen & Speaker is gorgeous

I wonder when they will have the this laptop with the AMD CPU but with a 4080 or 4090 and vaper chamber cooling. That is the one I am waiting for with a 4080 or 4090 depending on the price.

I had the 2021 version of this and loved it but it recently straight up died and I had to send it back to Asus for repair (out of warranty) When I was troubleshooting the issue I only found lots of YouTube videos of guys repairing blown capacitors on Asus g15 and g16 laptops so it's not uncommon. This is for sure anecdotal but I'm thinking Lenovo next.

Have the 2024 white/silver Ryzen version of this with the 2TB SSD and paid about $2k before tax (Best Buy).

It slaps and is worth the money, IMO.
