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%.

01

Nebula HDR Engine

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.

02

Mini LED technology

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.

03

100,000:1 High Contrast Ratio

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.

04

Adaptive-Sync Technology

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.

05

Dolby Vision® Technology

Pantone

® Color Validation

Each IPS-level display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors are accurate to the Pantone® palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.

06

Pantone® Color Validation

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.

replay

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.

01

0dB Ambient Cooling

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.

02

Tri-Fan Technology

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.

03

Full-width Heatsink

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.

Processing Module

For gamers who want crisp images even in the most action-packed scenes, the ROG Zephyrus M16 offers a 16″ Nebula HDR display with great features: a mini-LED panel backlight, 16:10 aspect ratio, QHD resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1100 cd/m² peak brightness. This option is especially good at displaying dark shades, which will be noticeable in games and when watching movies. The laptop is also available with a non-backlit mini-LED display with lower peak brightness (500 cd/m²), but with the same resolution and refresh rate. Thanks to the narrow frame, the relative screen area reaches 92%.

01

Nebula HDR Processing Module

Mini LEDs

Mini LEDs are much smaller than regular LEDs, less than 0.2mm, so they can be packed more tightly into the display backlight. As a result, we have 1024 groups of mini-LEDs, which can be dimmed independently of each other.

02

Mini LEDs

100,000:1 Contrast Ratio

Nebula HDR displays boast much higher contrast than conventional displays thanks to the Mini LED backlighting. This means deeper blacks and brighter whites – and the whole image becomes more colorful.

03

100000:1 contrast ratio

G-Sync technology

The graphics processor creates frames at a variable rate, while the frame rate is usually fixed by the display. This difference sometimes leads to unpleasant effects, to eliminate which this laptop has implemented NVIDIA G-Sync technology. Synchronization of the screen refresh rate with the frame rate of the video card provides both higher picture quality and improved game responsiveness to user actions.

DDR5 Energy Efficient Memory

The ROG Zephyrus M16 is equipped with high-speed DDR5-4800 RAM. Its volume reaches 64 gigabytes – like full-fledged workstations. Both SO-DIMM slots are available for upgrade.

01

Energy Efficient DDR5 Memory

Plenty of File Space

Run your games and applications at blazing speeds with a PCIe 4.0 SSD. At the same time, the amount of user memory can reach 2 terabytes – more than enough to install an extensive game collection and many professional programs, as well as store a voluminous portfolio of creative works. Using the free M.2 slot, which also supports PCIe 4.0 mode, you can install another drive and combine them into a RAID0 array.

02

Plenty of room for files

For gaming, streaming and creativity

The ROG Zephyrus M16 was designed from the ground up for gamers – as well as game developers. It’s compatible with all the latest engines and popular tools like Unity and Autodesk, so you can get creative and try your hand at the next game hit. With powerful hardware resources, this machine will allow digital artists, streamers, video editors, game and animated movie creators – in short, all creative minds – to take their workflow to the next level.

The ROG Zephyrus M16 pushes the limits of what’s possible in ultra-portable notebooks with years of engineering experience built into ROG’s intelligent cooling. Featuring a unique full-width heatsink, Thermal Grizzly liquid metal as a thermal interface, a triple-fan thermal module, and silent mode support, this laptop is the embodiment of the most advanced ideas in the field of cooling.

repeat

Silent cooling mode

When the temperature of the CPU and GPU is below a certain level and the Silent mode is activated, the cooling system stops the fans, becoming completely silent. So it will not distract the user when watching a movie or simple office work. The fans will start spinning again when the temperature of the processors rises as the load increases.

01

Silent Cooling Mode

Triple Fans

High-precision ventilation that blows air directly onto hot chips improves cooling performance over traditional options. An optional third fan directs the already heated air from the GPU to the heatsinks to keep the laptop cool during long gaming sessions or long video renderings.

02

Three fans

Full size heatsink

Heatsinks made of copper fins only 0.1mm thick are used to dissipate heat from hot components. This increases the total number of fins (up to 319, with a total heat dissipation area of ​​113,523 mm²), and their airflow resistance is significantly lower compared to conventional radiators, which have thicker fins. Of particular note is the full-size heatsink that occupies the entire back of the laptop case – it is twice as large as conventional ones.

03

Full Size Heatsink

Liquid Metal

Thermal Grizzly’s Liquid Metal is a much more effective thermal interface than conventional thermal pastes, but this exotic material requires delicate handling. To automate its application to the processor chip, the ROG team ordered special equipment. In addition, the CPU cooling block is designed to prevent liquid metal from leaking over time.

Seven heat pipes

Seven heat pipes installed in the laptop case cool not only the processor and video card, but also the elements of their power systems. This contributes to the reliable and stable operation of the entire device in the long term.

Explore the Matrix

The AniMe Matrix display and OMNI virtual pet have both received an upgrade. The former now has more LEDs, which means more options for displaying animation clips, and OMNI returns with a whole bunch of mini-games. As you progress in these games, the AniMe Matrix display will get brighter, and when you reach a certain score in the Windows application for OMNI, new animation options will open.

Endless possibilities

The AniMe Matrix Display can be configured to display text messages and system notifications, visually accompany audio playback, or display any custom animation.

* A PC is required to save custom animations.

One-stop Control Center

Character from the ROG universe, the OMNI virtual pet acts as an interactive assistant, reacting in real time to changes in battery level and system load. In addition to the Windows application, it can “live” in the AniMe Matrix display of the ROG Zephyrus M16 laptop.

Setting parameters, monitoring temperature, optimizing the performance of the laptop – all done from a single command center Armory Crate. In this application, you can monitor the status of the CPU, video card and memory, adjust the full-color backlight for each game, change the cooling and power mode, and get exclusive offers that will help you add value to your game collection.

ROG GameVisual allows you to quickly customize your display for the type of content you’re displaying, including games from different genres, by instantly switching between several preset modes. For example, in the first-person shooter mode, the brightness of dark shades is increased to make it easier to spot an enemy lurking in the shadows.

In addition to automatically switching between Silent, Performance and Turbo modes, the notebook supports the creation of user profiles with settings for specific applications. In such a profile, you can specify, for example, the configuration of the keyboard backlight, disable the Windows key or the touchpad – and Armory Crate will instantly activate these settings in accordance with the current task.
