OLED is Here
Finally, laptop gamers can enjoy the ultra-fast response times and incredible contrast ratios possible only with OLED technology. This ROG Nebula HDR panel boasts a 2.5K resolution with 1100 nits* of peak brightness, giving it incredible pixel density and HDR capability for a 16-inch screen. A 240Hz refresh rate and G-SYNC make 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 DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification, prepare to be immersed in HDR content so lifelike that the screen melts away.
Fast
Leading OLED panels with G-SYNC support
OLED displays have an ultrafast 0.2ms response time, which ensures clearer fast-paced action, low-latency gameplay, and subtle details like blur-free text scrolling. We’re also proud to support NVIDIA® G-SYNC, a critical variable refresh rate adjustment technology for gaming laptops that was unavailable on OLED-equipped machines until the launch of the 2024 Zephyrus G16.
Bright
BRIGHT 1,000,000:1 Ultra-High Contrast Ratio
OLED displays have millions of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and unlike traditional display technologies, they can turn each pixel on and off individually. Because of this, OLED panels can achieve pixel-perfect black levels, resulting in extreme contrast ratios like 1,000,000:1. This true black allows for images that appear bright and punchy without feeling washed out, ensuring you never miss an enemy hiding in the shadows. The Zephyrus G16’s panel can also achieve up to 1100 nits* of peak brightness, unlocking brilliant highlights in your favourite games and movies. HDR has never looked this good.
Vivid
2.5K Resolution
Enjoy incredibly vivid scenes thanks to the added visual fidelity offered by a 2.5K resolution. With a higher pixel density than 1440p, 2.5K displays allow the true vibrance of both still images and video content to truly shine.
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 Vapour Chamber, Tri Fan Technology, 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.
ODB AMBIENT COOLING
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with OdB Ambient Cooling technology. 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.
HEATSINK
At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Despite its ultra-thin chassis, the Zephyrus G16 features a dual-exhaust heatsink that helps to efficiently pass heat outside the machine for sustained performance. By placing these heatsinks closer to the chassis, heated air travels more efficiently out of the machine than ever before, reducing recirculation.
VAPOR CHAMBER
Traditional laptops utilise a system of heatpipes to draw heat from the processor towards the heatsinks. But sometimes, a vapour chamber is more efficient. With much more surface contact, including on the VRM circuitry, the Zephyrus G16's vapour chamber cools as much of the mainboard as possible before passing it off to the heatsinks. Limited space doesn't need to limit your cooling potential.
DUST FILTER
Dust and fibres can collect inside your laptop, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter over the G16's air intakes helps keep dust out, allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for years of smooth and stable operation.
REFINED INTAKE & EXHAUST LAYOUT
The Zephyrus G16 pushes cooling performance to the next level with a re-engineered intake mesh featuring 16,724 precision-cut perforations that increase the ventilation area ratio by 50% while also improving structural rigidity. At the rear, a widened exhaust vent accelerates heat dissipation, keeping thermals in check during intense workloads. A redesigned footpad completes the system's aerodynamic profile, channels air out the back and to a second exhaust under the footpad, reinforcing stability while driving maximum cooling efficiency.
AIRFLOW DESIGN
The airflow path inside the Zephyrus G16 has been tweaked to encourage more active airflow inside the machine and keep critical components cool, allowing it to reach a high TGP in an incredibly thin-and-light chassis.
Effortless control
The trackpad and keyboard are critical for controlling your laptop, so we spared no expense with the design of the Zephyrus G16. Despite being a compact 16-inch device, the G16 boasts an extra-large trackpad for effortless scrolling. Enjoy smoother typing with larger keycaps and an extra stable keyboard deck thanks to the CNC-machined chassis. An extra-long 1.7mm travel distance gives the keyboard a premium typing feel, and the keycaps feature an anti-fingerprint shine-resistance coating, making them highly resistant to scratches and wear. N-key rollover guarantees your machine will never miss a command even if you’re pressing multiple keys at once, and a 20-million-keypress lifetime ensures the Zephyrus G16 will be gaming with you for years.
EASYLIFT HINGE
Effortless hinge movement with just a finger
AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR
Dynamic screen brightness saves your battery and reduces eye strain
KEYBOARD SHINE RESISTANCE
A special anti-fingerprint shine-resistance coating with a distinctive matte texture keeps your keyboard looking and feeling brand-new.
AURA SYNC

Sleek Design
The new Zephyrus G16 catches your eye the moment you see it. Precision CNC-machined from aluminium alloy, this high-strength material accepts complex shapes and also looks absolutely gorgeous after being anodised 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.
A Slice of Brilliance
The Zephyrus G16 is ready to light up your world with the Slash Lighting array. A bold streak of LEDs across the lid of the machine with a mirror glass finish, upgraded in 2026 from 7 to 35 distinct zones, Slash Lighting is a visual representation of the elegance and individuality that make Zephyrus so unique. It comes with 15 pre-loaded animations, including a Battery Status mode and a Charging mode, letting you see what your laptop is up to from across the room. All animations are fully customizable in Armoury Crate, so you can make the G16 uniquely your own.
Precision Craftsmanship
The chassis of the Zephyrus G16 is built from painstakingly CNC-machined aluminium to minimise excess volume while maintaining rigidity. Using precision tools just 0.7mm in diameter, channels for the keyboard, touchpad, and speakers are milled to ultra-tight tolerances for a premium and robust chassis with components that stretch edge to edge. After an eight-step process, the sandblasted, polished, and anodised G16 chassis stands ready to support its flagship hardware.
Pump Up The Volume
With loud main 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.
All-day power
Its portability has always defined the Zephyrus G16, and the 2026 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 supports Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking, the Zephyrus G16 is the ultimate gaming and productivity machine for those on the move.
CONNECTIVITY
Robust connectivity
Despite its svelte and supremely portable chassis, the G16 offers all the connectivity you need for your workflow or 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 full-sized UHS-II SD card reader stands ready.
