Features
ROG Nebula HDR
For gamers who demand the absolute best motion and image clarity, the Zephyrus M16 offers an incredible Nebula HDR Display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and a staggering 1100 nits of peak brightness for stunning HDR gameplay. The 16-inch, 16:10 Mini LED panel provides incredibly deep blacks for content that jumps right off the screen, whether you’re watching a movie or playing a fast-moving arena shooter. On models without the Mini LED panel, the max brightness peaks at 500 nits, but both panels share QHD resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, and all models share an incredible 92% screen-to-body ratio.
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%.
Mini LED technology
Mini LEDs are much smaller than typical LEDs, with diodes smaller than 0.2mm. Display engineers can pack these diodes in much more densely than on typical displays, allowing for 1024 separate zones of Mini LEDs that can dim themselves individually.
100,000:1 High Contrast Ratio
Thanks to the high pixel density afforded by Mini LEDs, ASUS's 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.

ROG Intelligent Cooling
The ROG Zephyrus M16 builds upon years of Intelligent Cooling experience to relentlessly push the boundaries of what an ultraportable laptop is capable of. ASUS's Tri-Fan Technology and unique full-width heatsink elevate the M16 from just a thin and light to a true gaming machine. Thermal Grizzly liquid metal thermal compound, a unique Tri-Fan thermal module, and the ability to stay completely silent with 0dB Ambient Cooling Technology keep the Zephyrus M16 on the cutting edge of cool.
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. ASUS's 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
ASUS's 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).
Brush up
Traditional machining techniques for a laptop chassis involve drill cuts, which can leave some slight visible marks. The M16 has had its chassis polished to perfection with ten grinding passes, leaving a stunning and luxurious finish on all four sidewalls.
Stand tall
In order to keep the machine thin and light, we squeezed every single inch of the mainboard into a design that incorporates the 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.
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.
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.
Portability
ortability wasn’t sacrificed for flagship gaming power. Weighing under 2.1kg and less than 20mm thick, the M16 is a joy to travel with.
90Wh
Work and play confidently far from wall sockets with a large 90Wh battery. That mobility continues with fast charging support that can juice up the M16 from 0-50% in just 30 minutes.
FHD 1080p
An infrared camera ensures seamless unlocking with Windows Hello support, even in low light conditions.
Wi-Fi 6E
With full support for the new Wi-Fi 6E standard, the M16 can enjoy broadband level connections, even in congested networks.
Sink Into Sublime Sound
Streaming, recording, and gaming are streamlined with the Zephyrus M16’s multi-faceted audio system. Boasting Dolby Atmos technology, twin tweeters and dual force-canceling woofers offer beautifully balanced acoustics, all housed in a redesigned speaker pattern. A customizable 3D mic array captures audio in a variety of scenarios, while Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation clarifies sound from your feed and incoming feeds as well.
3D Mic Array
Three modes for the integrated microphone array give you greater control over your input. Cardioid mode captures sound from right in front of the laptop, while minimizing input from the back, making it ideal for streaming and gaming. Stereo mode uses right and left channels to record a wider soundscape for live music or other immersive experiences. Omnidirectional mode picks up sound from all directions equally for clearer group conference calls.
Two-way AI Noise Cancellation
ASUS's advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.
Dolby Atmos Immersive Sound
Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.
The key to victory
Maintain a low profile with a new Stealth Type keyboard that keeps keystrokes under 30dB.
