ROG launches new (2023) laptop models in the Nordics. ROG Strix G, Strix SCAR and Zephyrus M16

Starting today, three product models of the ROG 2023 line-up are becoming available to the Nordics.

Welcoming ROG Strix G 16/18, ROG Strix SCAR 16/18 and ROG Zephyrus M16. The refreshed line-up, with product names well known from before, now features new Mini LED panels and the latest and fastest performance from Intel and Nvidia available to date.

ROG Strix & Strix SCAR

The Strix SCAR lineup has long stood as the performance flagship of ROG’s lineup, and 2023 is no different. The Strix SCAR 16 and 18 have been renamed, thanks to a chassis redesign that accommodates the larger 16-inch and 18-inch 16:10 aspect-ratio screens. These 16- and 18-inch panels allow gamers to see the enemy more clearly than ever before, and the 16-inch model can even be equipped with ROG’s new QHD, 240Hz Nebula HDR display with Mini LED technology.

ROG has also amped up the cooling performance of this new chassis, allowing more headroom for the CPU and GPU to boost for maximum framerates. Now equipped with an extra thick full-width heatsink and Tri-Fan Technology, the new Strix SCAR 16 and 18 allow for much more efficient heat removal. Combined with Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal, now applied to both the CPU and GPU, ROG has pushed the performance of the SCAR 16 and SCAR 18 even further for the high-end hardware inside.

The Strix SCAR 16 and 18 sport Intel’s top-of-the-line 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processor, with 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores for unprecedented gaming capability. A maxed out Strix SCAR is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU at 175 W, with the thermal headroom to allow the silicon to boost higher and longer than ever before.

The 2023 upgrades don’t stop with the SCAR family. The new Strix G16 and Strix G18 are equipped with the same 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processor, 240 Hz ROG Nebula QHD+ displays and can be configured with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU for excellent esports performance.

ROG Zephyrus M16

The Zephyrus lineup is all about exceptional performance in thin-and-light form factors that can easily travel anywhere. This year, the Zephyrus M16 has received the latest performance, new 240Hz Mini LED displays and AniMe Matrix.

Built for gamers and creators alike, the ultra-sleek M16 has been redesigned from the ground up, retaining a thin-and-light design but boasting an improved cooling system featuring Tri-Fan Technology and our full-width heatsink. This allows the 2023 Zephyrus M16 to run 25 watts higher compared to last year’s model — providing even more power to the Intel Core i9-13900H CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU with a MUX Switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus in this flagship gaming machine. The 2023 Zephyrus M16 is also the first 16-inch device equipped with ROG’s iconic AniMe Matrix LED lighting array, allowing gamers to show off their creativity and unique flair wherever they are.

All those extra frames will look better than ever, since the M16’s display has also been upgraded to a 16-inch, QHD+ Nebula HDR Display with Mini-LED technology. With 1,024 dimming zones, stunningly deep blacks stand against 1100 nits of peak brightness for an HDR image that pops right off the screen, with contrast and detail never seen before on a gaming laptop. With a 240 Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, gamers can rest assured that all of their content will look its absolute best with the Zephyrus M16.
