ASUS Republic of Gamers Launches Redesigned ROG Zephyrus G16
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has introduced the 2024 ROG Zephyrus G16, a new addition to its powerful, slim gaming laptops. This model comes in a CNC-machined aluminum body with customizable Slash Lighting, available in Platinum White and Eclipse Grey. It’s powered by the latest Intel® Core Ultra 9 Processor for longer battery life and NVIDIA® 40 series graphics for peak performance. The G16 boasts a G-SYNC® compatible, color-accurate OLED display for exceptional gaming visuals. Its advanced cooling system, featuring tri-fan technology, liquid metal, and a vapor chamber in top configurations, ensures the G16 stays cool in a compact form.
Brand-new Aluminum chassis design
The 2024 Zephyrus G16 has been completely redesigned, featuring a new aluminum CNC-machined chassis that balances lighter weight, durability, and more space. It’s as thin as 0.59 inches and starts at 4 lbs. This design accommodates a full keyboard and bigger, better-sounding speakers that deliver deeper bass down to 100Hz, offering 25% more size and 47% louder volume than the previous model for richer sound.
Available in Platinum White and Eclipse Gray, the G16 has enhanced controls with larger keycaps and a bigger touchpad for improved typing, scrolling, and gaming. Additionally, the G16 introduces a new LED lighting array on its lid, allowing for personal customization.
The Perfect Balance of Efficiency and Performance
The Zephyrus G16 features a powerful Intel Core™ Ultra 9 processor 185H, which includes AI accelerators (NPU) to enhance power efficiency during AI tasks, resulting in extended battery life. It also comes with NVIDIA GeForce 40 series graphics; the RTX 4070 suits mainstream needs, while the RTX 4080 and 4090 offer exceptional performance for new games and creative apps, thanks to additional VRAM and CUDA cores.
Built-in AI support for tools like Omniverse® and Stable Diffusion allows for quick local image generation, bypassing cloud wait times. AI acceleration makes video editing and 3D rendering projects over twice as fast, using less power to prolong battery life. This setup is well-equipped to handle the latest software and games with ease.
ROG Nebula Displays and Zephyrus G16 bring G-SYNC to OLED laptops
G-SYNC is now available in OLED laptop screens, thanks to the collaboration between ROG, Samsung, and NVIDIA. The Zephyrus G16, the first 16″ ROG laptop with an OLED screen, is also among the pioneers to feature Variable Refresh Rate on an OLED laptop display. It has a 2.5K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, delivering high-quality visuals and smooth images in fast-paced games.
This OLED panel meets the ROG Nebula Display standard, offering a 16:10 aspect ratio, VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, perfect for showcasing HDR content and games with true black shades. It covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and has a Delta E accuracy of less than 1, making it ideal for content creators who need precise color accuracy. Gamers will appreciate the ultra-fast 0.2ms response time that minimizes ghosting and ensures clear images with every screen refresh.
Hyper-efficient ROG Intelligent Cooling
Slim, high-performance laptops like the Zephyrus G16 need effective cooling to operate at peak capacity, so it incorporates the latest ROG Intelligent Cooling advancements. The CPU uses a high-performance liquid metal thermal compound and 2nd Generation Arc Flow Fans that efficiently expel heat.
A tri-fan system, which includes a third auxiliary fan, improves airflow across the motherboard and helps remove heat from the GPU. Models with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or RTX 4090 Laptop GPUs use a custom vapor chamber with dual fans to manage the heat from these high-end components.
