ROG Zephyrus S17
ROG Zephyrus S17 is an all-new, premium gaming laptop with a rising optical mechanical keyboard that enables superior cooling. It delivers top-of-the-line performance for gaming and more in a slim package with the style for any occasion.
With an 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11900H CPU capable of using up to 90W of power in short bursts, plus up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU that reaches 140W with Dynamic Boost, Zephyrus S17 delivers exceptional performance. Bolstered by ROG Intelligent Cooling technologies, these components provide an unrivalled platform for gaming and content creation.
The innovative AAS Plus cooling system lifts the keyboard at a 5° angle, opening wide vents that allow the new Arc Flow fans to quietly pull cooling air into the laptop. Combined with liquid-metal thermal compound on the CPU, these enhancements let users enjoy powerful computing in a machine that’s slim, quiet, and cool to the touch.
A spacious 17” screen provides an immersive experience with two panel options: a WQHD display with Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC for higher frame rates, or a 4K option with greater detail and Adaptive-Sync. Both offer high refresh rates, brilliant colors and out-of-the box color accuracy. Powerful six-speaker audio lets users travel with high-fidelity sound. Storage options including a three-drive HyperDrive Ultimate SSD RAID array offer lightning-fast access to games and media. The optical-mechanical keyboard delivers precise and responsive input, while the configurable Multiwheel puts a wide range of useful functions within reach.
ROG Zephyrus M16
ROG Zephyrus M16 is an all-new gaming laptop, fitting an immersive 16” display and a powerful new Intel processor inside an ultra slim 15” chassis.
For fluid, richly detailed visuals in games, the 16” display combines a high WQHD resolution with a fast 165Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and Adaptive-Sync. It’s also primed for content creation thanks to a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, PANTONE-validated colors across 100% of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut, and Dolby Vision support for richer visuals.
Powered by up to an 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11900H, the laptop delivers high-refresh-rate gaming and high performance in content creation. Up to a GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU delivers high frame rates and RTX technologies in the latest games. And ROG Intelligent Cooling keeps the M16 cool under the user’s fingers while ensuring high CPU and GPU performance.
A six-speaker system with dual force-canceling woofers produces clear, deep audio enhanced by Dolby Atmos technology. The 3D mic array captures clear audio in any scenario, and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation intelligently removes background noise.
Zephyrus M16 offers true portability, with a slim and light body that’s only 19.9mm thin and 1.9kg. With an Off Black tint and lustrous Prismatic Film visible through CNC-milled perforations, it looks both stylish and professional in any setting.
Zephyrus M16 is also available with the new GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, which makes the RTX experience more accessible than ever.
TUF Gaming F15 and F17
The combination of 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs and GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs prime the new TUF Gaming F15 and F17 for gamers who demand powerful components, sensible style, and reliable performance at an accessible price. Sleek Eclipse Gray and bold Graphite Black color options bring different looks to the new TUF Gaming F15 and F17. Both designs feature sharp lines and clean-cut accents, from the subtle, hairline brush strokes across the lid and palm rest to the textured honeycomb grip.
Comprehensive cooling lets those processors achieve their full potential. The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti runs at up to 1585MHz at 60W with ROG Boost, with another 15W available from Dynamic Boost, while the RTX 3050 ramps up to 1600MHz at 60W with GPU Boost, with an extra 15W on tap via Dynamic Boost. CPU options range up to the eight-core, 16-thread Intel Core i9-11900H CPU to deliver snappy performance and help the GPU drive fast frame rates. The FHD display immerses gamers with a 240Hz refresh rate backed by Adaptive-Sync.
The TUF Gaming F15 and F17 also offer conveniences for everyday gaming and computing. A Thunderbolt 4 port provides one easy access point for fast file transfers, connecting an external display, or adding external graphics power. And a 90Wh battery easily goes the distance.
