Product details

The highlights of the 2022 Zephyrus M16: 94% screen-to-body ratio, professional 16" display in an ultra-thin 15" form factor, large 90Wh battery for mobile flexibility, Nebula Display: 16:10 aspect ratio, QHD 165Hz/3ms display, Pantone validated, 100% PCI-P3 & Dolby Vision, ROG Intelligent Cooling with liquid metal thermal paste, six speakers powered by Dolby Atmos.

Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performance—but most route these frames through the CPU's integrated graphics before they reach the display. This provides longer battery life but prevents your GPU from delivering its absolute best performance. That's why Asus has included a MUX switch in all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive gaming, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 9%.

The liquid metal thermal paste keeps your CPU cool, while Arc Flow Fans with 84 blades spin to create impressive airflow and minimal noise. The ROG Armory Crate software seamlessly switches between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for each task.
