Thrill Your Senses
Disappear Into the Action
Near-rimless at a 94% screen-to-body ratio, the up to QHD 165Hz/3ms display is immersive and deep. High-FPS gameplay is richer with a balance of high-resolution detail and a 165Hz refresh rate. See full-spectrum color accuracy thanks to Pantone® validation and 100% of the DCI-P3 color space, ideal for gamers who also create. A tall 16:10 aspect ratio expands views, making it easy to keep critical commands close.
Outperform Everyone
Speed, power, and portability achieve a perfect balance in the all-new 2022 Zephyrus M16. Its ultra-slim frame houses a powerful 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900H CPU with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti Laptop GPU. With up to 48GB of DDR5 4800MHz RAM and up to 2TB of ultrafast PCIe® 4.0 storage, everyday work and multitasking is faster. Lightning-fast load times for demanding apps makes gaming and content creation speedier than ever.
BOOST PERFORMANCE WITH AI
NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.
MORE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators – and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.
OPTIMIZED POWER AND PERFORMANCE
NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.
MUX switch
Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performance—but most route those frames through the CPU’s integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we’re bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 9%.
16” Display In A 15” Chassis
A streamlined design fits a 16” display in a 15” ultra slim chassis. Lighter and smaller than predecessors by up to 5%, the Zephyrus M16 blends full-sized convenience and portability.
Soft-Touch Coating
Soft-touch paint covers the palm rest, minimizing smudges and fingerprints with a thin coating that helps sustain the sleek styling and subtle sparkle through to the end of the day.
Prismatic shine
The dot matrix design on the lid is made with a precision CNC milling process that creates 8279 tightly spaced perforations. Prismatic film gleams beneath, adding a subtle shimmering effect against the stark “Off-Black”
180° Ergolift
Open up more viewing angles with the 180° ErgoLift hinge. Typical laptops have a limited range of motion, but the Zephyrus M16 lets you flip the screen all the way back, so it’s easy to share with a group or get the perfect angle for yourself.
Intelligent Cooling Improves Your Experience
Liquid Metal thermal compound keeps your CPU cool, while redesigned Arc Flow Fans™ spin 84 blades to generate impressive airflow and minimal noise. ROG Armoury Crate software switches seamlessly between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task at hand.
Sink Into Sublime Sound
Streaming, recording, and gaming are streamlined with the Zephyrus M16’s multi-faceted audio system. Boasting Dolby Atmos® technology, twin tweeters and dual force-canceling woofers offer beautifully balanced acoustics. A customizable 3D mic array captures audio in a variety of scenarios, while Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation clarifies sound from your feed and incoming feeds as well.
Dual Force-Canceling Woofers
Woofers produce low frequencies that define bass and help create a richer, more dynamic soundscape for your audio. Sounds at such low frequencies typically produce stronger, more noticeable vibrations. In order to minimize resonance in the smaller chassis, the Zephyrus M16 deploys woofers in pairs that are slightly offset to cancel each others’ vibrations.
3D Mic Array
Three modes for the integrated microphone array give you greater control over your input. Cardioid mode captures sound from right in front of the laptop, while minimizing input from the back, making it ideal for streaming and gaming. Stereo mode uses right and left channels to record a wider soundscape for live music or other immersive experiences. Omnidirectional mode picks up sound from all directions equally for clearer group conference calls.
Lighter. Slimmer. More Portable
A Stroke Of Genius
Maintain a low profile with a new Stealth Type keyboard that keeps keystrokes under 30dB. Input complex commands at speed with N-key rollover that ensures every press is registered, and Overstroke technology that lowers each key’s actuation point for effortless input. Navigation is also smoother and easier with a touchpad that’s more accurate and 20% larger than the previous generation, putting precision navigation at your fingertips.
Comprehensive Connectivity
A variety of I/O ports keep you connected and let you stay productive no matter where you are. The ultra-versatile Thunderbolt™ 4 port with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery 3.0 is joined by two USB 3.2 Type-A ports for a gaming mouse, gamepad, and other accessories. A microSD slot makes it easy for creators to shoot, edit, and process massive images and videos anywhere.
Unified System Tuning and Personalization
Gear up and Game
Game in style with ROG accessories. Navigate precisely with the ROG Chakram Core mouse. Immerse in rich, true-to-life sound with the ROG Delta gaming headset. Top off your charge on the go with up to a 100W PD adapter. Carry it all with you in a durable, RGB-accented 15” ROG Ranger backpack.
