Direct answer: is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) 16" 240Hz OLED Gaming Laptop (GU605MZ) right for you?
115 W sustained is the number that actually predicts frame rates, and it is the reason two laptops with the same RTX 4070 can differ by a third in delivered performance.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 115 W sustained is the number that actually predicts frame rates, and it is the reason two laptops with the same RTX 4070 can differ by a third in delivered performance. This chassis is 1.85 cm thick, which is what caps it -- a thicker machine holds 140 W and is faster with identical silicon. Against that you get a 240 Hz OLED and 1.85 kg, which is a trade many people would make knowingly and few are told about.
Who should buy this
Anyone who wants genuine gaming performance in a machine light enough to carry daily.
Who should avoid this
Anyone chasing maximum frames per rupee -- a thicker chassis delivers more from the same GPU.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone chasing maximum frames per rupee — a thicker chassis delivers more from the same GPU. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this a couple of weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. 1.85 kg and 1.85 cm, genuinely portable for a gaming machine. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 115 W sustained GPU power, below what a thicker chassis delivers. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: 115 W sustained GPU power, below what a thicker chassis delivers. 32 GB soldered, with no upgrade path. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: 240 Hz OLED at 2560 x 1600, an exceptional panel for the class. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Good, with one thing to plan for
240 Hz OLED at 2560 x 1600, an exceptional panel for the class. The one thing to know before ordering: 115 W sustained GPU power, below what a thicker chassis delivers. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Read the fit note, and it was me
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone who wants genuine gaming performance in a machine light enough to carry daily. On that basis it has been the right call. 240 Hz OLED at 2560 x 1600, an exceptional panel for the class.
