ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has officially launched its highly anticipated 2024 laptop lineup, featuring the extensively redesigned Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus G16 models. This release also introduces brand-new Intel®, AMD, and NVIDIA® silicon, incorporating powerful AI acceleration features. The ROG Strix family undergoes a significant overhaul as well, with the SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 models now equipped with Nebula HDR panels featuring Mini LED backlights.
A new age in computing, centered around artificial intelligence
The newest CPUs and GPUs from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel are included in the ROG laptop selection for 2024. AI acceleration is included with these chips, allowing users to effortlessly utilize the newest devices locally. AI is here to stay, from the ubiquitous AI companion that is Microsoft Copilot in Windows to video conferencing utilities like dynamic backdrops and automatic gaze correction to rendering technologies like NVIDIA DLSS and Frame Generation.
New chips from AMD and Intel offer consumers greater experiences in all of their most used applications, along with enhanced speed and power efficiency and the newest developments in AI. Equipped with specialist AI Tensor Cores, NVIDIA RTX Laptop GPUs offer unparalleled AI performance in creative apps, ultra-efficient productivity, lightning-fast gaming, and more.
Fresh designs for Zephyrus laptops
For 2024, Zephyrus G14 and G16 have undergone a comprehensive overhaul, making them both lighter and thinner than before. With the newly designed Slash Lighting array across the lid, gamers can effortlessly showcase their distinct style and make sure their laptop never looks the same. The superior matte finish of these machines, which come in the classic Eclipse Gray or the brand-new Platinum White, just exudes elegance. These devices, the Zephyrus G14 at under 1.5 kg and 1.59 cm thick and the Zephyrus G16 at 1.85 kg and 1.49 cm thick, are pushing the envelope of thin-and-light performance. Both come with a three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which gives users access to hundreds of excellent titles.
The Zephyrus G14 and G16 are also the first ROG laptops featuring an OLED screen Nebula Display. And with one of the first G-SYNC OLED screens on a gaming laptop, ROG is delighted to declare that they are leading the market. For the first time, this hitherto unattainable capability is now accessible on a gaming laptop thanks to ROG’s partnership with NVIDIA and Samsung Display to optimize the refresh rate and synchronize the panel’s operations. Significantly higher than an ordinary OLED screen, this display raises the pixel emission rate to 960 Hz. In order to create the best 14-inch gaming laptop, Zephyrus G14, no cost was spared.
With the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU and the newest AMD Ryzen 8000 Series processor, the 2024 Zephyrus G14 offers the ideal balance of portability, power efficiency, and gaming performance. With a tri-fan cooling system, 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans, and Thermal Grizzly liquid metal on the CPU, the Zephyrus G14 offers exceptional gaming and content production performance in an incredibly light and thin laptop chassis. A laptop GPU up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is included with some Zephyrus G16 versions, along with an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU 185H. With its unique vapor chamber and dual-fan configuration, the Zephyrus G16 delivers flagship performance for gaming and video creation in an ultra-portable chassis that measures just 1.49 cm thick.
ROG Strix gets new CPUs and ROG Nebula HDR Displays
The first 18-inch ROG Nebula HDR Display was introduced this year. The new 2024 Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 models include improved Mini LED panels with over 2,000 distinct dimming zones and 1,100 nits of peak brightness, making HDR video and games seem better than ever. The Strix SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 have exceptionally vivid HDR performance thanks to this enhanced density and the ROG Nebula HDR Engine, which reduces blooming and haloing even in difficult environments.
Although the ROG Nebula HDR panels are exclusive to the Strix SCAR range, the entire 2024 Strix family of screens is aesthetically pleasing. With a gray-to-gray reaction time of less than 3 ms and a 2.5K 240 Hz refresh rate panel, each model provides gamers with an amazing visual experience. These panels offer 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage and an extra tall 16:10 aspect ratio for enhanced immersion. A gamer’s panel will make all of their games and entertainment more lifelike and engaging than ever before, regardless of the Strix machine they select.
