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 color space, color accuracy with a ΔE 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.
*Average tested result in MyASUS/ Armoury Crate Splendid Display P3 and sRGB color gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification.
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.
Sleek Design
The new Zephyrus G16 catches your eye the moment you see it. Precision CNC-machined from aluminum alloy, this high strength material accepts complex shapes and also looks absolutely gorgeous after being anodized in either Eclipse Gray or the breathtaking Platinum White colorway. The sleek chassis and matte finish of the Zephyrus G16 simply beg to be touched.
