Transcend your reality

ROG Nebula HDR™: 16:10 aspect ratio, QHD 240Hz/3ms Mini LED display & Pantone^® Validation, 100% PCI-P3 & Dolby Vision.

Nebula HDR Engine

The Nebula HDR engine is a purpose-built local dimming algorithm that produces stunning highlights with unparalleled depth. Trained on an instruction set of more than 150 videos and over 2000 still photos, the algorithm can dynamically adjust the HDR lighting needed to minimize blooming around individual dimming zones by 25%.

100,000:1 High Contrast Ratio

Thanks to the high pixel density afforded by Mini LEDs, our Nebula HDR panels have a much higher contrast ratio than standard laptop displays. This creates darker blacks and brighter highlights, for a stunning image that truly pops.

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. With NVIDIA^® G-SYNC, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.

Dolby Vision^® Technology

Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision^® makes media look better. This technology improves on standard high dynamic range (HDR) 4K video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you richer, brighter, and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.

100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage

While the sRGB color 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 color gamut and rich color, and let you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.

0dB Ambient Cooling

Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB 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.

Tri-Fan Technology

At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Our new Tri-Fan Technology directs air though precisely calculated cutouts in the chassis, sending airflow directly towards internal components to keep them cool in all conditions. A third auxiliary fan also helps to send additional heat from the GPU directly to the heatsinks, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.

Full-width Heatsink

The M16 features 319 heatsink fins, with each stack lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. This allows for higher density and lower air resistance, with a total of 113,523 mm² of surface area. This all-copper construction continues to the full-width heatsink, which is double the size of a normal heatsink and covers the entire rear of the machine.

Liquid Metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 13°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.

7 Comprehensive Heatpipes

7 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.

Dust Filter

First introduced on the Zephyrus G14, the ROG Zephyrus M16 features a dust filter on its intake vents. Dust and fibers can collect inside the machine, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter helps keep dust out, allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for years of smooth and stable operation.

*Internal testing in a simulated dusty environment

Arc Flow Fans™

Our Arc Flow Fans™ feature 84 curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. This patented new design is made possible by the latest liquid-crystal-polymer processing technologies, allowing us to create ultra-thin and strong fan blades. Variable thickness blades, which taper down to just 0.2mm at the tip, reduce turbulence as the fan accelerates air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience without reducing performance.

*Airflow improvements compared to the 71-blade ROG fan design, as tested internally by ASUS.

Stylish. Sophisticated. Supercharged.

For the first time, the M16 will feature an AniMe Matrix™ display. With 18,710 precision machined holes on the lid of the machine, animations are crisper and cleaner than ever before. For models without the AniMe Matrix™ LED array, the perforations are covered with Monochrome Film, allowing the lid to color shift with the light. For 2023, we’re also introducing a new matte black color with an overfiring finish. Helping to complete the stealth look, this finish is also incredibly fingerprint resistant. With four polished side panels and a holographic nameplate, the M16 exudes a sense of style and luxury not seen in standard gaming laptops.

V for Victory

The exhaust vent design has been redesigned for 2023. Thanks to the new polished sidewalls, the M16 looks sleek from any angle, including the rear. The v-cut hinge the bottom of the screen bezel has also been adjusted, reducing exhaust airflow directly onto the display without reducing cooling efficiency.

Razor sharp

The M16 has a high-density AniMe Matrix™ array, allowing for more vivid and creative animations. Original AniMe Matrix™ laptops had a 1:4 LED to CNC hole ratio, but the 2023 M16 has upgraded that ratio to a staggering 1:9. Unleash your creativity with the power of the brand-new AniMe Matrix™ array.

Bold identification

The design for the M16’s nameplate also got an overhaul for 2023. Instead of a physical deposition process, we implemented nano-imprint lithography to give the nameplate an even more radiant holographic hue.

Stand tall

In order to keep the machine thin and light, we squeezed every single inch of our mainboard into a design that incorporates our ErgoLift hinge. This allowed us to keep the bezels thin, keeping the footprint of the machine as small as possible while maximizing screen real estate. In addition, the ErgoLift hinge raises the chassis slightly off the surface it’s resting on, greatly increasing access to fresh air for superior cooling. One hinge, multiple benefits.

Explore the matrix

AniMe Matrix™ and Virtual Pet OMNI have both gotten an upgrade. More LEDs mean more animation possibilities, and OMNI returns with a whole host of mini games, like the Slot Machine, Shoot’em Up and Whack-A-Mole. The games will also light up the AniMe Matrix™ as you progress, and getting high scores will unlock more animations for OMNI as he joins you on the desktop.
