ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605 vs Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2024)

While the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2024) and ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605 are powerful 16-inch laptops, they're designed for different purposes. The ASUS is a gaming laptop with gaming-focused features, while the Apple is a premium mobile workstation. The Apple laptop's user experience is better overall, thanks to its superior build quality, a brighter and more color-accurate display, a larger haptic touchpad, and better-sounding speakers. The ASUS is still well-built; it can't compete with Apple's industry-leading design and build. While the M4 Max SoC is faster than the Intel Meteor Lake CPUs found on the ASUS, the ASUS has the Apple beat in terms of discrete GPU options; it comes with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU that vastly outperforms the M4 in gaming. Otherwise, the ASUS's 240Hz OLED display has a much faster response time than the Apple's 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR display, giving you a clearer image in fast-paced games, and it supports G-SYNC to minimize screen tearing.
