ROG Zephyrus G14 Returns to Light Up the Gaming World

LAS VEGAS, USA, January 4, 2022 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the brand-new 2022 ROG Zephyrus G14, G15, and M16. This trio of powerful machines is packed with the latest hardware, display technology, and cooling. The G14 and M16 each sport one of the new displays to meet ROG’s Nebula Display™ standard, ensuring the absolute best visuals possible in a laptop form factor.

The G14 also has some key improvements to hardware and software for the iconic AniMe Matrix™ display.

All-new CPUs, GPUs, and DDR5

The critically-acclaimed ROG Zephyrus G14 packs plenty of gaming power into a stylish, ultraportable form factor. The new G14 comes with Windows 11 onboard, up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HS processor and up to an AMD Radeon™ RX 6800S Mobile GPU. The laptop also features a MUX Switch to deliver outstanding performance. High-speed DDR5 4800 MHz RAM and a 1 TB PCIe® SSD enable responsive multitasking across the system and fast load times in-game.

A custom vapor chamber spans 48.2% of the mainboard, covering the CPU, GPU, and VRM. Providing about 50% more contact with system components compared to standard heatpipe designs, it increases thermal transfer for all crucial components. The G14 also comes equipped with Arc Flow Fans™ that provide a distinct variable fan thickness design to keep airflow high while minimizing turbulence and excess noise. Thermal Grizzly liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU allows the G14 to remain cool under all conditions, drastically improving GPU power up to 105 watts without sacrificing any of the portability of its 14-inch form factor. In the Silent operating mode during low-power tasks, 0 dB ambient cooling technology allows the fans to be automatically disabled for a truly silent experience.

Joining the G14 are the Zephyrus G15 and Zephyrus M16, each with a host of upgrades for 2022. The G15 comes equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, with the M16 boasting an Intel® Core™ i9-12900H processor, and both sport up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti Laptop GPU. Both models feature the latest ROG improvements, including the MUX Switch for increased graphics performance, DDR5 4800 MHz memory, and WiFi 6E support.

See the stars

The G14 is also one of the first ROG laptops to feature the brand-new Nebula Display™, which offers a 120 Hz refresh rate at QHD with a 3 ms response time and Adaptive-Sync for smooth, tear-free gaming. It also supports Dolby Vision® HDR with 500 nits of peak brightness and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut with Pantone® validation for a stunning, color-accurate experience. The display has been expanded to a 16:10 aspect ratio, which increases screen real estate without sacrificing portability, since its small bezels offer a 91% screen-to-body ratio. ROG also offers a standard, Full HD 144 Hz panel on the new G14 as well.

The G14 is not the only model getting a Nebula Display upgrade for 2022. Gamers can enjoy a 165 Hz QHD Nebula Display on the 2022 Zephyrus M16, which matches all of the other Nebula requirements to provide a stellar gaming experience. The Zephyrus G15 starts the new year with up to a QHD 240 Hz panel, featuring 100% DCI-P3 coverage and Adaptive-Sync support for silky smooth visuals in any scenario.

New and improved lighting

The Zephyrus G14 reimagined customization with AniMe Matrix™. Introduced in 2020, this feature offered a network of LEDs embedded in the lid for enabling custom animations and messages. For 2022, the lid is now covered with 14,969 precision CNC milled holes and 1,449 mini LEDs on models with the now-iconic AniMe Matrix display. With more LEDs than last year’s model, new animations to customize the look of the machine are possible. The Zephyrus G14 is available in Eclipse Grey or Moonlight White, featuring a Prismatic Logo nameplate with a holographic, reflective hue.

This year’s G14 also brings a collection of mini-games to the desktop, encouraging gamers to explore the full possibilities of the machine. Complete with a robust progression tracker and tons of achievements, OMNI makes a return as a virtual companion and can be enhanced with rare animations and actions over time. OMNI’s brash attitude makes him the perfect foil for a virtual companion, with plenty of unique lines and animations to be discovered. The mini-games also have some hidden AniMe Matrix patterns to unlock, encouraging users to spend more time customizing their devices. Additionally, extra animations can be downloaded directly via Armoury Crate on existing AniMe Matrix-capable machines.
