Performance Meets Precision
Game and create on the go with the power of the all-new 2025 Zephyrus G16. Powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 255H and an NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 5060 (572 AI TOPS), this machine has true gaming and professional pedigree.

Game Changer
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, GeForce RTX™ 50 Series Laptop GPUs bring game-changing capabilities to gamers and creators. Equipped with a massive level of AI horsepower, the RTX 50 Series enables new experiences and next-level graphics fidelity. Multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4, generate images at unprecedented speed, and unleash your creativity with NVIDIA Studio. All in the thinnest and longest lasting NVIDIA RTX™ laptops, optimised by Max-Q.

The Dawn of a New Age
The 2025 Zephyrus G16 and Windows 11 make gaming, creation, and everything in between a breeze. Featuring an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 255H and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 Laptop, this 16-inch machine can easily handle the latest games and cutting-edge creative software alike. The Zephyrus G16 can effortlessly transcribe voice notes into text documents, save valuable time during a video render, and play the latest AAA games at blazingly fast refresh rates. The future is here.

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 colour space, colour 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 colour gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification.

Cool, Calm, Collected
ROG Intelligent Cooling is a suite of components that work together in harmony to keep our high-performance laptops cool and quiet. The Zephyrus G16’s Vapor Chamber*, Tri Fan Technology*, 2nd Generation Arc Flow Fans™, liquid metal thermal compound, and a redesigned high-efficiency exhaust vent operate in perfect harmony to offer the perfect balance of thermals and acoustics. Taken together, these systems keep the machine operating at its peak while staying quieter than ever.

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 maximise 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 Grey or the breathtaking Platinum White colourway. The sleek chassis and matte finish of the Zephyrus G16 simply beg to be touched.

Ultra-Portable
The Zephyrus G16 has always been defined by its portability, and the 2025 model is no exception. This incredible gaming machine is a true thin-and-light, weighing in at just 1.85kg, with some models measuring as low as 1.49cm thick. Paired with a 90Wh battery that supports fast charging from 0-50% in just 30 minutes and support for Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking, the Zephyrus G16 is the ultimate gaming and productivity machine for those on the move.

Pump Up The Volume
With a staggering 47% volume increase from the previous speakers and an ultra-low bass frequency of 100Hz, the G16 produces clear and vibrant sound that you wouldn’t expect from an ultra-slim 16-inch machine. Whether you’re vibing to your favourite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up the volume.

Ample Connectivity
Despite its svelte and supremely portable chassis, the G16 offers all of the connectivity to enable your workflow or the battlestation of your dreams. Dual USB-C ports, both of which support display output, and one that supports Thunderbolt™ 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 make the very most of this versatile connector. For your other peripherals, dual USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports expand connectivity even further. For quick file transfers or extra storage, a dedicated UHS-II SD card reader stands ready.
