This year's variants of the ROG Zephyrus G16 promise a compromise between good graphics performance and a slim design.
Gaming laptops are often clunky and flaunt eye-catching RGB ornaments. If you value good gaming performance in a simple, slim form factor, the ROG Zephyrus G16 from Asus could be of interest to you. It is 1.49 centimetres thick and weighs 1.95 kilograms.
With the four variants, you have the choice between two graphics cards: the Nvidia Geforce RTX 5090 and the RTX 5070Ti. You can also choose between one or two terabytes of storage space. The two-terabyte version of the RTX 5090 offers 64 gigabytes of RAM instead of 32. The other features of the devices are identical.
The laptops are equipped with the «Intel Core Ultra 9 285H» processor, which also has an NPU (Neural Processing Unit, i.e. an AI chip) for AI calculations. The 16-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels supports a refresh rate of up to 240 hertz.
A vapour chamber combined with three fans and two exhaust air heat sinks is responsible for cooling. The vapour chamber has a thermal coverage of 44 per cent and should therefore ensure cooler components. The residual heat is channelled to the outside via the heat sinks. According to the manufacturer, passive cooling should be sufficient for low power requirements, such as when surfing the web or playing videos: In silent mode, the fans are switched off so that the laptop runs silently.
Aluminium casing and discreet lighting
The housing of the ROG Zephyrus G16 is made of aluminium. There is a light strip on the back of the screen that is «inspired by science fiction and contemporary art» There are 15 light animations to choose from. The keyboard has a backlight that is compatible with Asus Aura. Aura lets you control and synchronise the colour effects of your compatible ROG devices.
