OLED is Here

Finally, laptop gamers can enjoy the ultra-fast response times and incredible contrast ratios that are only possible with OLED technology. This panel boasts a 2.5K resolution, giving it incredible pixel density on a 16-inch screen, with a 240Hz refresh rate and G-SYNC that makes all of your games look silky smooth. With 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, colour accuracy with a ?E 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.

Leading OLED Panels with NVIDIA G-SYNC Support
OLED displays have an ultrafast 0.2ms response time, which ensures smoother fast-paced action scenes, low-latency gameplay, and subtle details like blur-free text scrolling. ASUS are proud to support NVIDIA G-SYNC, a critical refresh rate adjustment technology for gaming laptops that was unavailable on OLED equipped machines until the launch of the 2024 Zephyrus G16.

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.

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.

G-Sync Technology
Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. ROG is proud to introduce the first ever OLED display in a laptop capable of using NVIDIA G-Sync, which allows the refresh rate of the display to synchronise with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimise stuttering and reduce input lag.

Dolby Vision Technology
Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K HDR video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you richer, brighter and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.

Pantone Colour Validation
Every display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colours are accurate to the Pantone palette. Artists, designers and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.

100% DCI-P3 Colour Coverage
While the sRGB colour space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 76% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide colour gamut for more vibrant images, and with a Delta E less than 1, the Zephyrus G16 lets you experience films and other media exactly that way they were meant to be seen.

Cool, Calm, Collected

ROG Intelligent Cooling is a suite of components that work together in harmony to keep high-performance laptops cool and quiet. The Zephyrus G16’s Vapour Chamber, Tri Fan Technology, 2nd Generation Arc Flow Fans™, liquid metal thermal compound, and a redesigned high-efficiency exhaust vent operate in perfect harmony to offer the perfect balance of thermals and acoustics. Taken together, these systems keep the machine operating at its peak while staying quieter than ever.

0dB Ambient Cooling
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.

Redesigned Keyboard
Previous keyboard designs focused on keeping the chassis temperatures cool, keeping your fingers comfortable during long gaming sessions. The newly redesigned keyboard not only keeps your hands comfortable on the trackpad and keyboard deck but increases air intake for the main system components as well, boosting the Zephyrus G16’s cooling performance without increasing weight or chassis size.

Heatsink
At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Despite its ultra-thin chassis, the Zephyrus G16 features a dual exhaust heatsink that helps to efficiently pass heat outside the machine for sustained performance. By placing these heatsinks closer to the chassis, heated air travels more efficiently out of the machine than ever before by reducing re-circulation.

Vapour Chamber
Traditional laptops utilize a system of heatpipes to draw heat from the processor towards the heatsinks. But sometimes, a vapour chamber is more efficient. With much more surface contact, including on the VRM circuitry, the Zephyrus G16’s vapour chamber cools as much of the mainboard as possible before passing it off to the heatsinks. Limited space doesn’t need to limit your cooling potential.

Liquid Metal
Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 13°C compared to standard thermal paste. Applying it onto CPUs is delicate work, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision and designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound.

2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans
The Zephyrus G16 was the first generation of ROG laptop to receive the redesigned 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans. ASUS added small bends at the end of each of the 84 primary blades that reduce both power consumption and turbulence. The fans also now feature a dual-impeller design, with a smaller set of 42 fan blades inside that allow more air to be sucked through with each rotation of the fan, similar to a jet turbine. These fans consume 16% less power while increasing airflow by 11%, enabling the high-performance components inside to run their very best.

Dust Filter
Dust and fibres can collect inside your laptop, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter over the G16’s air intakes helps keep dust out, allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for years of smooth and stable operation.

Exhaust Vents
The Zephyrus G16 features a dual exhaust heatsink, with one next to the laptop’s rubber feet, exhausting air downward, and one at the rear of the machine, exhausting air underneath our new display hinge and keeping it away from the screen. This design also keeps warm air away from your mousing hand for extra comfort during extended gaming sessions.

Effortless Control

The trackpad and keyboard are critical for controlling your laptop, so ASUS spared no expense with the design of the Zephyrus G16. It boasts an extra-large trackpad to maximize ease of scrolling. They’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 switches a premium typing feel, and with a lifetime of 20 million presses, it’s a perfect long-term partner.

A Slice of Brilliance

The Zephyrus G16 is ready to light up your world with 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.

Pump Up the Volume

With a staggering 47% volume increase from the previous speakers 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 favourite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up the volume.

Woofer
Sometimes, bigger does mean better. The Zephyrus G16 has larger woofers compared to the previous generation. This size increase allows for both louder volumes and clearer and richer sounds at lower volumes. These woofers are also able to hit much lower frequencies, for deeper bass tones than you’d expect from a thin-and-light-laptop.

Dolby Atmos
Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.

AI Noise Cancellation
ASUS’ advanced Two-Way AI Noise cancellation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher framerates. It works with any input device and with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-cancelling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.

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.

All-day Power

The Zephyrus G16 has always been defined by its portability, and the 2025 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 7 wireless networking, the Zephyrus G16 is the ultimate gaming and productivity machine for those on the move.

Robust Connectivity

Despite its svelte and supremely portable chassis, the G16 offers all the necessary connectivity to enable your ideal workflow or equally become the battle station of your dreams. Dual USB-C ports, both of which support display output, and one that supports Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 make the most of this versatile connector. For your other peripherals, dual USB 3.2 Gen2 type-A ports expand connectivity even further. For quick file transfers or extra storage, a dedicated UHS-II SD card reader sits at the ready.
