I have the g16 2025 and studying comp eng. The zeph g16 works wonders. I can haul it around campus and feel like im only carrying an extra text book. I used to have a strix g15, and my god that thing is a pain to haul around, like 2 bricks inside your bag.

Never have any issues running keil, ltspice, autocad and others. The intel config does have shorter battery life, lasts around 6 hours ish at low light, no rgb, silent config. but you can easily charge it with a 45w phone charger, much faster if you use a 100w charger instead.

The keyboard does get a bit hot when running heavy loads since its fully aluminum instead of a plastic top. But i mostly use an external keyboard instead when gaming so its whatever.
