Asus ROG reveals a complete redesign of the Zephyrus G14 and G16 laptops with a new lightweight chassis and OLED Nebula displays for practical and portable gaming power.
Thoughgaming laptopshave developed a great deal in the past few years, many of them remain quite heavy and unwieldy, due to the sheer size and weight of components needed to power the latest AAA games.Asushas now announced its redesigned series of Zephyrus G14 and G16 laptops which buck this trend, and offer a gaming laptop that is both powerful and easily portable.
The chassis of the newZephyrus G14and G16 has been completely overhauled. It is now an all-aluminum CNC-machined chassis to make the laptop durable and lightweight. The new construction also allows for an edge-to-edge keyboard design, and larger and louder speakers that offer a bass response down to 100 Hz, so Asus hopes this can offer a more immersive experience to users.
Plenty of power in a lightweight package
Despite the lightweight design, the Zephyrus G14 and G16 pack some power. There will be options for consumers to choose either anAMD Ryzen 8000orIntel Core Ultraprocessor on both the G14 and G16. For graphics cards, the Zephyrus G14 will offer up to anNvidia Geforce RTX 4070 GPU, or up to anNvidia GeForce RTX 4090 in the G16. As well as providing superb gaming performance, these GPUs can easily handle other demanding tasks such as video editing or 3D rendering.
Asus has said it is keen to keep developing its OLED screen, and as part of this drive the Zephyrus G14 and G16 will have the first OLED screens on a ROG laptop. The G14 will be capable of 3K resolution at a refresh rate of 120Hz, while the G16 has a panel that can display a 2.5K resolution at 240Hz. Both of these panels support Intel G-Sync technology, for smoother framerates and motion clarity.
