Fast - 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. We’re also proud to support NVIDIA® G-SYNC, a critical refresh rate adjustment technology for gaming laptops that was unavailable on OLEDequipped machines until the launch of the 2024 Zephyrus G16.
- 0.2ms Response time
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.
- 1,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
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.
- 2.5K Resolution


NVIDIA® 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 synchronize with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize 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 high dynamic range (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® Color Validation
Every display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors 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 Color Coverage
While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut for more vibrant images, and with a Delta E of less than 1*, the Zephyrus G16’s display lets you experience films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be seen.
*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.


\ 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’s Vapor 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.
*Vary by SKU
- Liquid Metal
- Vapor Chamber*
- Tri-Fan technology*
- 0dB Ambient Cooling
- 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans
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 recirculation.
Vapor Chamber
Traditional laptops utilize a system of heatpipes to draw heat from the processor towards the heatsinks. But sometimes, a vapor chamber is more efficient. With much more surface contact, including on the VRM circuitry, the Zephyrus G16’s vapor 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.
- 44% Thermal Coverage
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.
- Up to 13°C cooler
- Up to 14X Better Thermal Conductivity
2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans
The Zephyrus G16 was the first generation of ROG laptop to receive our redesigned 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans™. We’ve 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.
- 0.1mm Blade Tip Thickness
- Dual-Impeller Design
- 11% Increase Airflow
- 16% Less Power Consumption
Dust Filter
Dust and fibers 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.
*Internal testing in a simulated dusty environment
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.


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

Precision Craftsmanship
Built from aluminum alloy, 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.
- 100% Aluminum Alloy
- 12 Manufacturing Processes
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
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 favorite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up the volume.

- Dual side Woofers
- 47% Volume Increase
- 100Hz Bass Low Frequency


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
Our 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-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.


3 DMIC 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.


\ Portability - 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.

\ Software - Protecting your OLED display
OLED Care
ROG OLED laptops come with an ROG-exclusive OLED Care mechanism that’s proven to protect your display. Image persistence, or burn-in, on an OLED display can occur if a static high-contrast image is displayed for a prolonged period of time. To avoid this, OLED Care include Pixel Shift technology, which moves displayed pixels slightly to avoid consistently showing static images on your desktop and reduces the chance of burn-in.


Armoury Crate
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing. RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power delivery, and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped off at all times.
