Effortless control

The trackpad and keyboard are critical for controlling your laptop, so we spared no expense with the design of the Zephyrus G16. It boasts an extra large trackpad to maximise ease of scrolling. We’ve also increased the keycap size by 12% for smoother typing as well, thanks to extra rigidity from the CNC machining. An extra long 1.7mm travel distance gives the keyboard switches a premium typing feel, and with a lifetime of 20 million presses, it’s a perfect long-term partner.

Sleek Design

The new Zephyrus G16 catches your eye the moment you see it. Precision CNC-machined from aluminum alloy, this high strength material accepts complex shapes and also looks absolutely gorgeous after being anodized in either Eclipse Grey or the breathtaking Platinum White colourway. The sleek chassis and matte finish of the Zephyrus G16 simply beg to be touched.

Ultra-Portable

The Zephyrus G16 has always been defined by its portability, and the 2025 model is no exception. This incredible gaming machine is a true thin-and-light, weighing in at just 1.85kg, with some models measuring as low as 1.49cm thick. Paired with a 90Wh battery that supports fast charging from 0-50% in just 30 minutes and support for Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking, the Zephyrus G16 is the ultimate gaming and productivity machine for those on the move.

Pump Up The Volume

With a staggering 47% volume increase from the previous speakers and an ultra-low bass frequency of 100Hz, the G16 produces clear and vibrant sound that you wouldn’t expect from an ultra-slim 16-inch machine. Whether you’re vibing to your favourite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up the volume.

Despite its svelte and supremely portable chassis, the G16 offers all of the connectivity to enable your workflow or the battlestation of your dreams. Dual USB-C ports, both of which support display output, and one that supports Thunderbolt™ 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 make the very most of this versatile connector. For your other peripherals, dual USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports expand connectivity even further. For quick file transfers or extra storage, a dedicated UHS-II SD card reader stands ready.
