NVIDIA® G-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. ROG is proud to introduce the first-ever OLED display in a laptop capable of using NVIDIA® G-SYNC, which allows the refresh rate of the display to synchronize with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag.

Manufacturing Processes
Carving out channels for the keyboard, touchpad, and speakers with ultra-tight tolerances allow them to lay edge-to-edge. Maximum space, maximum efficiency.
Each keyhole, and the nearby keyboard vents, are milled individually. This gives the metal a more premium finish and maintains structural strength to minimize keyboard flex when the chassis is fully assembled.
The holes for the speakers are drilled at a super high 100,000 RPM, allowing for ultra-tight tolerances and a design that spans from one edge of the machine to the other.

Sometimes, bigger does mean better. The Zephyrus G16 has larger woofers compared to the previous generation. This size increase allows for both louder volumes and clearer and richer sounds at lower volumes. These woofers are also able to hit much lower frequencies, for deeper bass tones than you’d expect from a thin-and-light-laptop.

Virtual AssistantIntroducing Virtual AssistantIntroducing Virtual Assistant

The Virtual Assistant is an AI application developed by ROG as a supplement to the existing “Virtual Pet” interface, featuring OMNI as an interactive bot that lives on your desktop delivering system notifications and more. OMNI can not only respond to system states and display playful behaviors, but act as an efficient assistant, using AI to summarize documents, transcribe audio, and answer questions about the information in your files, making it highly useful for meeting notes and daily learning. In your free time, you also can chat with OMNI or ask it to open specific apps for you.

The "Virtual Assistant" functions are currently only available on ASUS and ROG laptops with AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series processors. Other models can only access the base "Virtual Pet" functions. Learn more about Virtual Pet here: [Notebook] Virtual Assistant Introduction | Official Support | ASUS Global

  • Chat

    The Virtual Assistant gives you an assist when you might be unfamiliar with an application by seamlessly guiding you to the appropriate settings you're trying to change. With the support of basic language model conversations and Q&A functions while integrating features and support from ROG and ASUS applications like MyASUS and Armoury Crate, the Virtual Assistant helps you easily adjust system settings.

  • Librarian

    The Librarian feature revolutionizes how you handle your documents. By leveraging AI tech like the Llama3 language model, it allows for seamless import of any files you want — which it can then summarize or answer questions about the data within. This innovative approach enhances the accessibility of that data, making it easier to understand complex documents. The combination of local AI models ensures high accuracy and data privacy.

  • Transcription & Summarization

    Using the Whisper model, the Virtual Assistant records voice conversations and converts them into accurate transcripts. It also provides summarization capabilities, allowing you to extract key insights with minimal effort. This feature streamlines documenting and analyzing meetings, reduces manual work, and enhances productivity by offering clear, actionable summaries.
