NEBULA DISPLAY​

OLED Is Here​
For the first time on an ROG laptop, enjoy the ultra-fast response times and incredible contrast ratios that are only possible with OLED technology. This panel also boasts a 2.5K resolution, giving it incredible pixel density on a 16-inch screen, with a 240Hz refresh rate that makes all of your games look silky smooth. With 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, a delta E color accuracy of less than 1, and VESA HDR True Black 500 certification, prepare to be immersed in HDR content so lifelike that the screen melts away.
*Average tested result in MyASUS/ Armoury Crate Splendid Display P3 and sRGB color gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.

FAST

Leading OLED Panels With G-SYNC Support
OLED displays have an ultrafast 0.2 ms response time, which ensures smoother fast-paced action scenes, low-latency gameplay, and subtle details like blur-free text scrolling.

BRIGHT

1,000,000:1 Ultra-High Contrast Ratio
OLED displays have millions of light-emitting diodes (LED), and unlike traditional display technologies, they can turn each pixel on and off individually. Because of this, OLED panels can achieve pixel-perfect black levels, resulting in extreme contrast ratios like 1,000,000:1. This true black allows for images that appear bright and punchy without feeling washed out, ensuring you never miss an enemy hiding in the shadows. HDR has never looked this good.

VIVID

2.5K Resolution
Enjoy incredibly vivid scenes thanks to the added visual fidelity offered by a 2.5K resolution. With a higher pixel density than 1440p, 2.5K displays allow the true vibrance of both still images and video content to truly shine.

THERMAL

Cool, Calm, Collected​
ROG Intelligent Cooling is a suite of components that work together in harmony to keep our high-performance laptops cool and quiet. The Zephyrus G16 boasts some never-before-seen additions to ROG’s list of cooling technologies, including 2nd Generation Arc Flow Fans™ and a redesigned high-efficiency air outlet. Certain models also feature a custom vapor chamber or a tri-fan design, with a third auxiliary fan that helps to move excess system heat to the heatsinks. All models also sport liquid metal, an ultra-high performance thermal interface material. Taken together, these systems keep the machine operating at its peak while staying quieter than ever.

CONTROL

Keys To Mastery
The trackpad and keyboard are critical for controlling your laptop, so we spared no expense with the design of the Zephyrus G16. Despite being just a 16-inch device, the G16 boasts a large 16:10 aspect ratio, matching the proportions of the screen itself effortless scrolling. We’ve also increased the keycap size by 12% for smoother typing as well, thanks to extra rigidity from the CNC machining. An extra long 1.7mm travel distance gives the keyboard a premium typing feel, and with a lifetime of 20 million presses, it’s a perfect long-term partner.

DESIGN STORY

Sleek Design
The new Zephyrus G16 catches your eye the moment you see it. Precision CNC-machined from aluminum alloy, this high strength material accepts complex shapes and also looks absolutely gorgeous after being anodized in either Eclipse Gray or the all-new breathtaking Platinum White colorway. The sleek chassis and matte finish of the Zephyrus G16 simply beg to be touched.


A Slice Of Brilliance
In 2024, the G16 breaks the mold, debuting an all new lighting design: the Slash Lighting array. A bold streak across the lid of the machine, Slash Lighting is an evolution of the elegance and individuality that make Zephyrus so unique.
It retains the customization of its predecessor, with a design inspired by sci-fi and contemporary art.

CONTROL

Precision Craftsmanship
Built from aluminum alloy 6063, the chassis of the Zephyrus G16 is painstakingly CNC-machined to minimize excess volume while maintaining rigidity. Using precision tools just 0.7mm in diameter, channels for the keyboard, touchpad and speakers are milled to ultra-tight tolerances for a premium and robust chassis with components that stretch edge to edge. After an eight-step process, the sandblasted, polished and anodized G16 chassis stands ready to support its flagship hardware.

Carving out channels for the keyboard, touchpad, and speakers with ultra-tight tolerances allow them to lay edge-to-edge. Maximum space, maximum efficiency.

Each keyhole, and the nearby keyboard vents, are milled individually. This gives the metal a more premium finish and maintains structural strength to minimize keyboard flex when the chassis is fully assembled.

The holes for the speakers are drilled at a super high 100,000 RPM, allowing for ultra-tight tolerances and a design that spans from one edge of the machine to the other.

AUDIO

Pump Up The Volume
Get lost in the music with the new and improved woofers on the Zephyrus G16. With a staggering 47% volume increase and an ultra-low bass frequency of 100Hz, the G16 produces clear and vibrant sound that you wouldn’t expect from an ultra-slim 16-inch machine. Whether you’re vibing to your favorite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up the volume.

PORTABILITY

All day power
The Zephyrus G16 has always been defined by its portability, and the 2024 model is no exception. This incredible gaming machine is a true thin-and-light, weighing in at just 1.85kg, with some models measuring as low as 1.49cm thick. Paired with a 90Wh battery that supports fast charging from 0-50% in just 30 minutes and support for Wi-Fi 6E wireless networking, the Zephyrus G16 is the ultimate gaming and productivity machine for those on the move.
