A new era of computing, with artificial intelligence at its core
The AI revolution has arrived. No longer just a cloud-based technology, the 2024 ROG laptop lineup features the latest CPUs and GPUs from Inteland NVIDIA with AI acceleration built-in, enabling seamless use of the latest technology locally on the machine. From Microsoft Copilot in Windows, an everyday AI companion across many Windows 11 apps, to video conferencing tools like dynamic backgrounds and automatic gaze correction, to rendering technology like NVIDIA DLSS and Frame Generation, AI is here to stay.
Brand new processors from Intel not only boast the latest in AI advancements, but improved performance and power efficiency, giving users better experiences in all their most used applications. NVIDIA RTX™ Laptop GPUs are packed with specialized AI Tensor Cores enabling unmatched AI performance in creative apps, ultra-efficient productivity, blistering-fast gaming, and more.
First ROG OLED gaming laptop with ROG Nebula Display
OLED has arrived. ROG is proud to announce that the Zephyrus G16 features the first OLED panels to grace an ROG gaming laptop. With the Zephyrus G16 sporting a 2.5K 240 Hz display, it offers an incredible mix of visual fidelity and image quality in fast-paced games. As true gaming laptops, ROG is also proud to announce that thanks to a partnership with Samsung and NVIDIA, these are the leading laptop OLED panels with G-SYNC support, offering incredible motion clarity even if framerates momentarily dip.
As ROG Nebula Display OLED panels, these displays have everything gamers need. Both options feature an aspect ratio of 16:10, VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500, and a stunning 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. With the true inky blacks of an OLED pixel, HDR content and games can truly shine. The displays also boast 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and a Delta E accuracy of less than 1, making these gaming panels equally capable as the primary screen for content creators who demand color accuracy in their work. For gamers, the incredibly fast 0.2 ms gray-to-gray response time virtually eliminates ghosting and provides the cleanest image possible with every refresh of the screen.
Brand new Zephyrus chassis design
The 2024 Zephyrus G16 has been completely redesigned inside and out. It boasts an all-new and all-aluminum CNC-machined chassis for the perfect mix of weight reduction, structural rigidity, and increased chassis space. This allows for an edge-to-edge keyboard design, as well as the inclusion of larger and louder speakers with superior bass response down to 100 Hz. The speakers are 25% larger than the previous generation, with a 47% volume increase for more immersive audio experiences than ever before. The Zephyrus G16 also comes with larger individual keycaps and a larger touchpad, for superior typing, precision scrolling, and fluid gaming.
This premium all-aluminum chassis also features a brand-new colorway, Platinum White. Just like its namesake metal, Platinum White has a bold and lustrous matte finish that defines luxury. The 2024 Zephyrus G16 also sports a brand-new LED lighting array on the lid. This Slash Lighting array follows a diagonal across the lid of the machines, with animated sequences and the ability to fully customize a unique pattern, allowing users to ensure they never blend in with the crowd. The Zephyrus G16 is just 1.49 cm thick and weighs in at just 1.85 kg.
ROG Strix gets new CPUs and ROG Nebula HDR Displays
This year marks the introduction of the first 18-inch ROG Nebula HDR Display. HDR content and games have never looked better thanks to the arrival of the 2024 Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18, with both models offering upgraded Mini LED panels now boasting over 2,000 discrete dimming zones and 1,100 nits of peak brightness. This increased density coupled with the ROG Nebula HDR Engine minimizes blooming and haloing even in challenging scenes, giving the Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 incredibly vivid HDR performance.
While the ROG Nebula HDR panels exclusive to the Strix SCAR line are truly spectacular, all the displays available in the 2024 Strix family are visually stunning. Each model offers a 2.5K 240 Hz refresh rate panel with a less than 3 ms gray-to-gray response time, giving gamers an exceptional visual experience. For further immersion, these panels have an extra tall 16:10 aspect ratio and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. No matter which Strix machine a gamer chooses, they will have a panel that will make all their games and content more vivid and immersive than ever before.
