ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16 Laptops
Completely New Design and Structure
The Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus G16 2024 have been completely redesigned inside and out. Both devices feature a completely new body made entirely of aluminum for a perfect blend of weight reduction, structural rigidity, and increased chassis space. This allows for an edge-to-edge keyboard design, as well as larger and louder speakers with superior BASS response up to 100 Hz.
The speakers are 25% larger than the previous generation, with a 47% increase in volume level for immersive audio experiences like never before. The Zephyrus G14 and G16 also come with larger Key Caps and a larger touchpad, for superior typing, precise scrolling, and smooth gaming. Both Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus G16 for 2024 come bundled with three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, providing access to a library of hundreds of amazing games.
This luxurious body, made entirely of aluminum, also features completely new colors, Platinum White. Just like the metal bearing the same name! Platinum White boasts a bold, glossy finish that defines luxury! The 2024 versions of the Zephyrus G14 and G16 also feature a completely new LED lighting array on the cover. This Slash Lighting array runs radially across the devices’ cover, with dynamic sequences and the ability to customize a completely unique pattern, giving users a distinct difference from all other laptops.
The Zephyrus G14 measures just 1.59 cm thick and weighs only 1.5 kg, while the larger Zephyrus G16 is only 1.49 cm thick and weighs just 1.85 kg. These ultra-thin and portable devices redefine thin and light gaming laptops.
AI Pushes Performance to New Heights
The Zephyrus G14 features up to an AMD Ryzen™ 8000 Series processor with AI support and Windows Studio effects tools such as automatic framing, eye-contact correction, and advanced background effects in video calls. The Zephyrus G14 also features up to a dedicated laptop GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, with access to advanced features like DLSS 3.5, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction to enhance visuals and game frame responsiveness.
As for the Zephyrus G16, it features an Intel Core™ Ultra 9 185H processor with 11 AI cores, along with up to a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU for amazing performance in the latest games and creative applications. With custom AI support for tools like Omniverse and Stable diffusion, users can bypass long cloud waitlists and create images locally in just a few seconds.
You can work on video editing projects and 3D viewing at over twice the speed with AI acceleration, all with lower energy consumption for longer battery life. With full access to the latest AI technologies, this device can easily handle the latest software and games effortlessly.
First OLED Gaming Laptop with ROG Nebula Display
ROG is proud to announce that both Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus G16 feature high-quality OLED screens. With the Zephyrus G14 boasting 3K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate screen and the Zephyrus G16 featuring a 2.5K screen with a 240Hz refresh rate, both devices provide a great mix of visual clarity and image quality in fast-paced gaming. As true gaming laptops, ROG also proudly announces that thanks to a partnership with Samsung and NVIDIA, the leading OLED laptop panels are supported by G-SYNC, providing stunning motion clarity even when frame rates drop for moments.
ROG Nebula Display OLED panels have everything gamers need. Both options feature a 16:10 aspect ratio, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, and an amazing contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. With true black OLED pixel colors, HDR content and games can truly shine. The screens also feature 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage and a Delta E accuracy of less than 1, making these gaming panels as capable as a primary screen for content creators seeking color accuracy in their work. For gamers, the incredibly fast 0.2 milliseconds response time effectively eliminates shadowing and provides the cleanest possible image with each screen update.
Super-Efficient Cooling
Super-thin and powerful laptops require efficient cooling solutions, so both the Zephyrus G14 and G16 are equipped with the latest smart cooling improvements to maintain their heat. A high-performance liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and ARC Flow fan design input a third auxiliary fan to help move air flow over the components mounted on the motherboard, as well as assist in drawing heat from the GPU, to pull more heat out of the device. Zephyrus G16 models equipped with either a GeForce RTX 4080 laptop GPU or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU instead feature a custom vapor chamber that uses dual fans to accommodate their flagship components.
