ASUS has completely redesigned their popular Zephyrus G14 and G16 gaming laptops for 2024. Both machines now have super slim aluminum bodies that are lighter than before, with sharp new styling features like colored lighting on the lid.
The big news is that these are the first ROG laptops to use new OLED display technology. OLED screens can display much richer colors and deeper blacks. The smaller G14 has a 14-inch 3K screen while the larger G16 rocks a huge 16-inch screen.
Under the hood you’ll find the latest high-powered components from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. This includes their newest graphics chips that can boost frame rates in demanding games using cool new AI techniques. The G16 is packing an especially powerful processor with dedicated hardware for advanced AI tasks.
To keep things from overheating inside the slim bodies, ASUS equipped the laptops with advanced cooling. Methods like liquid metal, extra fans, and even vapor chambers work together to draw heat away efficiently.
With upgrades like bigger touchpads and louder speakers, they look set to be the best thin-and-light gaming laptops available later this year.
