ROG Nebula Display
ROG's Nebula Displays cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color space for vivid colors, are capable of 500 nits of brightness, and have high refresh rates for ultra-smooth motion in games. Adaptive-Sync and 3ms response times keep motion clear, while Pantone® Validation and Dolby Vision ensure you see content exactly as the creator intended. Plus, they're TÜV Certified for their low blue light and flicker reduction. In other words: they're the ultimate gaming laptop displays.
Dolby Vision
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.
100% DCI-P3 color
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 and rich color, and let you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.
Pantone® Validated
Achieve true color confidence with Pantone® Validated displays. Each IPS-level panel is factory calibrated to guarantee that every color you see meets rigorous and globally recognized Pantone® Color Validation requirements. Superior color accuracy allows artists, designers, and content creators to do serious professional work and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.
Adaptive-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. With Adaptive Sync, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU's frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.
Performance
Outperform Everyone
Speed, power, and portability achieve a perfect balance in the all-new 2022 Zephyrus M16. Its ultra-slim frame houses a powerful 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H CPU with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 Laptop GPU. With 16GB of DDR5 4800MHz RAM and 1TB of ultrafast PCIe® 4.0 storage, everyday work and multitasking is faster. Lightning-fast load times for demanding apps makes gaming and content creation speedier than ever.
12th Gen Intel® Core™ CPU
Game, stream, and create at a professional level with a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H CPU. These high-performance CPUs are engineered to deliver enthusiast-level gameplay in smaller, slimmer, and more portable devices than ever. Clocking up to an astounding 5GHz and capable of activating 14-cores and 20-threads, gamers and creators can harness industry-leading power to blaze through the most demanding tasks.
GeForce RTX™ 30 Series
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series Laptop GPUs power the world's fastest laptops for gamers and creators. They're built with Ampere—NVIDIA's 2nd gen RTX architecture—to give you the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features like NVIDIA DLSS. Plus, Max-Q Technologies unleash the power of AI to make thin, high-performance laptops that are faster and better than ever.
High-Speed PCIe® 4.0 SSD Storage
Games, applications, and large files load at warp speed on up to an ultrafast PCIe® 4.0 SSD. 1TB of storage leaves loads of room for creative apps and tons of games, with space to spare for your professional portfolio. The second M.2 SSD slot supports up to PCIe® 4.0 and RAID 0, which gives you the flexibility to easily add more storage to boost total capacity or run a separate scratch disk to accelerate content creation.
Dual-Channel DDR5 Memory
With its powerful processor and support for 16GB of dual-channel DDR5 4800MHz memory, the ROG Zephyrus M16 breezes through heavy multitasking. This high speed RAM can smoothly handle simultaneous streaming, creating, and web browsing.
Boost Performance with AI
NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.
More Immersive Experiences
Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators - and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.
Optimized Power and Performance
NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.
MUX Switch
Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performance—but most route those frames through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So Asus is bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 9%.
Design
16" Display In A 15" Chassis
A streamlined design fits a 16” display in a 15” ultra slim chassis. Lighter and smaller than predecessors by up to 5%, the Zephyrus M16 blends full-sized convenience and portability.
Soft-Touch Coating
Soft-touch paint covers the palm rest, minimizing smudges and fingerprints with a thin coating that helps sustain the sleek styling and subtle sparkle through to the end of the day.
Prismatic Shine
The dot matrix design on the lid is made with a precision CNC milling process that creates 8279 tightly spaced perforations. Prismatic film gleams beneath, adding a subtle shimmering effect against the stark “Off-Black” chassis.
180° Ergolift
Open up more viewing angles with the 180° ErgoLift hinge. Typical laptops have a limited range of motion, but the Zephyrus M16 lets you flip the screen all the way back, so it’s easy to share with a group or get the perfect angle for yourself.
Cooling
Intelligent Cooling Improves Your Experience
Liquid Metal thermal compound keeps your CPU cool, while redesigned Arc Flow Fans™ spin 84 blades to generate impressive airflow and minimal noise. ROG Armoury Crate software switches seamlessly between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task at hand.

Audio
Sink Into Sublime Sound
Streaming, recording, and gaming are streamlined with the Zephyrus M16’s multi-faceted audio system. Boasting Dolby Atmos® technology, twin tweeters and dual force-canceling woofers offer beautifully balanced acoustics. A customizable 3D mic array captures audio in a variety of scenarios, while Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation clarifies sound from your feed and incoming feeds as well.

Dual Force-Canceling Woofers
Woofers produce low frequencies that define bass and help create a richer, more dynamic soundscape for your audio. Sounds at such low frequencies typically produce stronger, more noticeable vibrations. In order to minimize resonance in the smaller chassis, the Zephyrus M16 deploys woofers in pairs that are slightly offset to cancel each others’ vibrations.
3D Mic 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. Omnidirectional mode picks up sound from all directions equally for clearer group conference calls.
Portability
Lighter. Slimmer. More Portable
Game, stream, and code anywhere. Ultrafast Thunderbolt™ 4 lets you connect conveniently on the fly to the latest devices, like powerful external GPUs or docking stations. Type-C charging lets you top off your charge from portable power packs, so you can stop scrambling for a socket when your battery gets low. Unplug and unwind with up to 10 hours of battery life. Get a solid connection even in crowded networks with WiFi 6E.
