ASUS has been on a roll lately with smaller form factors, new features and augmented experiences making their way to their laptop lineup. Not too long ago, the company announced a slew of new laptops which would define their offerings for the coming year. One of their new offerings announced was the new Zephyrus M16, the latest entry into the Zephyrus M series which comes under the Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand.

The new Zephyrus M16 is the first laptop in the series that offers a larger, 16-inch display in what is typically a body for a 15-inch laptop. In addition to the larger display size, the Zephyrus M16 comes with a chassis that is 5% smaller than the previous Zephyrus M15. In addition, it’s also more powerful than before with the 11th generation Intel Core i9 processor paired with NVIDIA’s latest RTX 30-series graphics cards.

Coming in at slightly under 2kgs, it’s also one of the lightest gaming laptops – barring the ROG Flow – currently available. It also comes with 1TB of SSD storage with an extra slot for added memory. This paired with up to 32GB of RAM out of the box will definitely give you an edge over your gaming competition.
