Asus Unveils All-New Strix and Zephyrus Lineup of Laptops

Asus has taken the wraps off its all-new Strix and Zephyrus lineup of laptops, which include the ROG Strix Scar 16 and 18; the ROG Strix Scar 17; the Zephyrus M16; and the Zephyrus Duo 16.

The company seems to be resonating with the philosophy of "Get ready to break all the limits" with its new lineup of laptops. These machines not only bolster the gaming experience but also skyrocket content creation.

ROG Strix Scar 16 and 18

The upgraded Strix Scar 16 and 18 laptops feature new and updated designs. A clean cut across the lid with black color conveys a discrete and sleek look, and the same is followed across the keyboard too.

The newly designed Customizable Armour Caps add a pop of color to the chassis. They are smaller yet firmly held in place with magnets. If you want to personalize the look, the Armour cap can be 3D printed.

Scar laptops continue the tradition with artful Aura Sync accents that highlight your creativity. The metallic ROG logo on the top lid and the keyboard feature RGB shine, and the keyboard supports per-key personalization.

The laptops take Windows 11 gaming to new heights. They're outfitted with the most recent Intel CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 series GPU with MUX Switch, and all-new blazing-fast DDR5 RAM.

Up to a QHD 240Hz Adaptive-sync display can be powered by a 150W+25W max TGP GPU, making it ideal for modern games' high framerate requirements.

Finally, the new 18-inch screen allows more room to work with while gaming and creating content.

ROG Strix Scar 17

The new Strix Scar 17 has a smooth, understated design thanks to its black hue and neat cut across the lid. The same is carried over across the keyboard deck.

Scar series always comes with beautiful Aura Sync details to help bring your imagination to life, and as such, there is a new ROG logo and keyboard with per-key RGB customization. Additional LEDs emit an even glow around the base of the chassis and across the crucial slice beneath the screen.

It is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX Mobile Processor, with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU with MUX Switch and blazing-fast DDR5 RAM.

Zephyrus M16

The new Zephyrus M16 features a display whose specifications are at the heart of any laptop experience. The gorgeous 16-inch display gives an incredibly immersive screen experience thanks to the 92% screen-to-body ratio and narrow bezels.

The 16:10 aspect ratio further maximizes screen real estate. With a sharp QHD resolution and a 240Hz/3ms panel that supports G-Sync/ Adaptive Sync, high-fidelity gaming is buttery smooth.

The ROG Nebula Display HDR on the M16 is ideal not only for gamers but also for content creators because of the combination of 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, Pantone Validation, Dolby Vision, and 1100 nits of peak brightness.

The system's internals can support up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU and an Intel Core i9-13900H CPU, allowing unrestricted gaming and content creation.

The upgraded MUX switch with Advanced Optimus enables users to switch between GPUs easily to maximize performance or battery life without restarting their laptops. It features the new ultrafast DDR5-4800 RAM that can now be expanded to 64GB since the M16 gets two SO-DIMM slots this year.

Additionally, a new Full-HD webcam with 3DNR noise reduction and IR technology with Windows Hello support is housed into the slim top bezel.

The M16 will also be available with AniMe Matrix this year, the first for a 16-inch laptop.

Zephyrus Duo 16

Despite its 15-inch form factor, the 2023 Zephyrus Duo 16 is a powerful 16-inch gaming laptop. Due to its innovative dual-screen design, Duo 16 is the best portable workstation for gamers and artists.

It follows a sleek yet futuristic design ID with its "Dark Tech" theme featuring an all-black chassis adorned with dark metallic purple elements. It comes with the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 series from AMD's Dragon Range family of processors.

The Ryzen 7000 series from AMD's Dragon Range is the company's first mobile line to use a chipset design. It is built upon AMD's new ZEN 4 architecture and TSMC's 5nm processor manufacturing technology.

The ROG Intelligent Cooling Ecosystem allows the Duo 16 to run quietly and efficiently. A powerful 90Wh battery powers it. It can be charged by an included 330W adapter, the conventional DC plug, or the 100W PD charge-enabled Type-C ports. The battery can be charged as much as 50% in only 30 minutes.
