Flagship Firepower in a Portable Frame

The ROG Zephyrus G16 packs desktop-rivalling performance into a slim chassis. Intel’s 16-core Core Ultra 9 386H drives everything from AAA gaming to heavy content creation, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 and ROG Boost up to 135W pushes frame rates to the limit. A MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus lets you route graphics for peak performance or longer battery life, and a dedicated NPU handles AI workloads at up to 50 TOPS.

The ROG Nebula OLED Display

The 16-inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) OLED panel is the centrepiece: a 240Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth motion, 1100 nits of peak brightness, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for inky blacks. Pantone Validated colour, Dolby Vision HDR and an anti-reflection finish make it as capable for creative work as it is for gaming, all backed by G-SYNC to keep the action tear-free.

Slim, Premium and Built to Travel

At just 1.95kg and as little as 1.49cm thin, the aluminium-clad Zephyrus G16 slips easily into a bag — and ASUS includes a matching sleeve to keep it protected. Despite the slim profile, a 90Wh battery with fast charging tops up from 0 to 50% in around 30 minutes when paired with the bundled 250W adapter.

Immersive Sound and Smart Extras

A four-speaker system with dual-force woofers, two tweeters and Smart Amp Technology delivers rich, room-filling audio, tuned by Dolby Atmos. AI noise-cancelling keeps your voice clear on calls, a 1080p IR camera signs you in instantly with Windows Hello, and a dedicated Copilot key puts AI assistance a keystroke away.

Fast, Future-Ready Connectivity

Thunderbolt 4 handles high-speed data, DisplayPort output and charging through a single port, joined by a USB Type-C port, two USB Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, a UHS-II SD card reader and a 3.5mm combo jack. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 keep you connected with the latest wireless standards.
