Our Verdict
Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024)
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024) and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605 are both 16-inch Windows laptops with Intel Meteor Lake CPUs and NVIDIA 40-series GPUs. The Lenovo is a productivity/content creation laptop, while the ASUS is primarily a gaming model but can also serve as a creator laptop. These two models trade blows, so the choice comes down to what you care about most. Naturally, the ASUS is a better choice for gaming since it has an OLED display with a faster refresh rate and VRR support, and it's available with higher-end GPUs, up to an RTX 4090. Just remember that OLEDs are susceptible to permanent burn-in, which is more of a problem when using the laptop for productivity tasks, as there are typically more static elements present on the screen than when gaming.
