Creators can film and edit their streams, videos and other content in a formal commonly used by industry professionals.
100% DCI-P3 Colour
While the sRGB colour 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 colour gamut and rich colour, and let you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.
Pantone Validated
Achieve true colour confidence with Pantone Validated displays. Each IPS-level panel is factory calibrated to guarantee that every colour you see meets rigorous and globally recognised Pantone Colour Validation requirements. Superior colour 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 synchronises with the GPU's frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimise stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.

Optimised 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 we're 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%.
16in Display In A 15in Chassis
A streamlined design fits a 16in display in a 15in 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”.
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.
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.
0.1mm Ultra Thin Fins For The Win
1.Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin fins as slim as 0.1mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins that are twice as thick. 256 heatsink fins totaling 103385.5mm of surface area guide airflow in multiple directions and minimize interference from the ErgoLift design.
Scenario Profiles Give You The Right Cooling At The Right Time
Scenario Profiles automatically change operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Performance mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment. You can customize Scenario Profiles to seamlessly switch modes based on your preferences, or use a keyboard shortcut to change modes manually.
Keep Your CPU Cool With Liquid Metal
Liquid Metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 10°C compared to standard thermal paste. Applying it onto CPUs is delicate work, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision, and designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound.
0dB Ambient Cooling, Zero Distractions
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
Upgraded Arc Flow Fans Move More Air With Less Noise
Slim chassis leave little room for cooling, so we enhance every aspect of ASUS's Arc Flow fans. Traditional fan blades have a single thickness from base to tip. ASUS's 84-blade Arc Flow Fans have a variable thickness design, down to 0.1mm at the tip. This approach reduces resonance and turbulence, moving up to 13% more air.
Targeted Airflow with Internal Blast Cooling
Internal Blast Cooling uses precisely calculated cutouts in the chassis to direct airflow toward internal components. When compared to more traditional designs, this allows for more efficient cooling, reducing CPU and GPU temperatures by up to 6°C. Lower temperatures mean higher sustained boost clocks during intense gaming sessions.
Up To 6 Comprehensive Heatpipes Have You Covered
6 heatpipes pull heat away from not only the CPU, GPU and VRAM, but also the VRM circuitry supplying them with power. Reducing the temperature of these components helps improve long-term stability and reliability.
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.
