The powerful thin-and-light Zephyrus G laptops feature a new CNC-machined aluminum chassis, a customizable Slash Lighting array, and a brand-new Platinum White colorway. Powered by cutting-edge AI-accelerated processors from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA, these laptops are ready to propel gamers and creators to new heights of performance.

This reimagined smartphone line goes beyond the ordinary, offering cutting-edge technology, innovative design, and a commitment to an exceptional user experience.

The Redefined Zephyrus G14 & G16

Brand-new Chassis Design 

The 2024 Zephyrus G14 and G16 boast a lightweight, all-aluminum chassis that’s precision-machined for durability, offering extra space inside for a sleek, edge-to-edge keyboard and bigger, louder speakers (25% larger than before) for immersive sound. Both models feature larger keycaps and touchpads for better typing and gaming. Plus, they sport a new Platinum White color with a luxurious matte finish and a new LED lighting system on the lid called Slash Lighting, offering customizable patterns and animations. Redefining thin-and-light gaming, these laptops offer a perfect blend of slim design and powerful performance.

AI Pushes Performance to New Heights

Equipped with the latest AMD Ryzen 8000 Series processor and AMD Ryzen AI support, the Zephyrus G14 is future-proof. It offers compatibility with Windows Studio effects productivity tools, enabling features like automatic framing, eye-contact correction, and advanced background effects during video calls. Additionally, it houses an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, providing access to advanced features such as DLSS 3.5, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction for enhanced visuals and gaming responsiveness in demanding titles.

In contrast, the Zephyrus G16 features up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 185H alongside an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU. This combination delivers exceptional performance in both gaming and creative applications. With dedicated AI support for tools like Omniverse and Stable diffusion, users can generate images locally in seconds, eliminating the need for lengthy cloud processing. With access to the latest AI-accelerated technologies, this hardware effortlessly handles the most demanding creation software and games.

First ROG OLED gaming laptop with ROG Nebula Display 

ROG proudly introduces the new Zephyrus G series, the first gaming laptops to boast ROG Nebula Displays featuring OLED panels. Both models deliver an exceptional blend of visual fidelity and image quality ideal for fast-paced gaming. The Zephyrus G14 offers a 3K resolution, 120 Hz panel, while the Zephyrus G16 boasts a 2.5K 240 Hz display. With NVIDIA G-SYNC support, these laptops ensure remarkable motion clarity, even during brief framerate drops.

Both options feature a 16:10 aspect ratio, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, and an impressive 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Achieving 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and calibrated to a Delta E of less than 1, these displays cater to both gamers and content creators. Gamers will appreciate the incredibly fast 0.2 ms gray-to-gray response time, virtually eliminating ghosting and ensuring the clearest image with every screen refresh.

Hyper-efficient Cooling

To keep these slim powerhouses cool, the Zephyrus G series utilizes a high-performance liquid metal thermal compound for the CPU, coupled with 2nd Generation Arc Flow Fans for efficient heat expulsion. Tri-fan technology directs airflow over components, aided by a third auxiliary fan, effectively removing GPU heat. For Zephyrus G16 models sporting the top-of-the-line NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, a custom vapor chamber with dual fans wrangles the heat it generates.
