Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 2022 GU603ZW

The Asus ROG Zephyrus line of flagship 16-inch laptops, which equally claim to replace stationary gaming PCs and mobile workstations for photo and video processing. The main feature of the series is an extremely serious, perhaps the most powerful (note: at the time of release) hardware in the face of a 14-core Core i9 processor (Alder Lake family, 12th generation), includes a video card with a level not lower than NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8 GB of video memory and a power consumption limit of at least 120 W, as well as support for DLSS 2.0 technology and hardware ray tracing of the second generation, which is mandatory for this series.

The processor and graphics card are complemented by 16/32 GB of overclocked DDR5-4800 RAM and a single or dual M.2 SSD with NVMe interface support (capacity from 512 to 2048 GB). Hardware supports proprietary NVIDIA Optimus and Mux Switch technologies, which significantly affect laptop performance and battery life, allowing you to switch between discrete and integrated graphics on the fly.

A rather complex cooling system with several fans, a passive heatsink and liquid metal thermal paste is responsible for cooling the filling. The screen uses high-end 16-inch IPS matrices with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, fast response (3ms), support for HDR10 / Dolby Vision and a high refresh rate (165Hz), which is necessary for a clear and smooth display of action scenes with high dynamics of what is happening.

At the same time, natural color reproduction and Pantone certification make ROG Zephyrus M16 laptops suitable for photo and video processing, color grading, and more. Auxiliary equipment of the line includes a high-quality keyboard with additional keys and RGB backlighting, 6 high-quality stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, a modern network controller with Wi-Fi 6, an excellent webcam, Face ID system, a card reader and up-to-date multifunctional ports (USB and HDMI) for connecting external monitors, video cards and peripherals.
