New gaming laptop from ASUS!This performance may be the strongest at this size

The gimmick that lifts the keyboard is interesting.

In order to announce the new gaming notebook online, ASUS, which was doing the countdown, has added two new types of notebook PCs, "S17" and "M16", to the "Zephyrus" series. In particular, the M16 will be the champion (depending on the price!).

It's a long presentation of 1 hour and 20 minutes, but it's worth seeing.

ROG Zephyrus S17

It is a large 17-inch type, and you can choose either QHD 165Hz with G-SYNC or Adaptive-Sync with 120Hz at 4K. Also, the bezel width is 4.6 mm, which is thinner than the conventional 17 inches because the engineers worked hard.

There is a gimmick that the optical mechanical keyboard stands up at an angle of 5 degrees when opened, and it realizes the ease of keystroke and heat exhaust using the "AAS Plus" cooling system at the same time.

And at the heart, Intel's 11th generation "Core i9-11900H" processor and GPU adopt "GeForce RTX 3080" for NVIDIA notebook PC. The more powerful the PC, the hotter it tends to be, but due to the exhaust heat from the four fans facing backwards and to the left and right, and the cooling system using liquid metal and a silent fan with 84 wings with a thickness of 0.1 mm. It is devised to prevent thermal runaway.

At the top left of the keyboard, there is a multi-wheel that can be operated intuitively, and you can customize the settings to your liking. And it is also attractive to be able to install 3 SSDs up to a total of 3TB (detonation velocity 10.5GB / s). The battery life is expected to be 8.5 to 9 hours or more on a full charge for continuous use.

As for sound, a "dual force scan selling woofer", six speakers, a "dual smart amplifier", and a "Dolby Atmos" are built-in, and the housing is arranged so that it does not vibrate. Now that you can listen to the best music in the world, I want to enjoy the live sound without using a headset.

The S17 is for people who want to carry the best performance with them.

ROG Zephyrus M16

This is equipped with a 16-inch WQHD 165Hz display with an extra-fine 4.6mm bezel using a well-balanced 15-inch size housing, and the screen ratio is wide vertically, which makes me happy 16:10. Most of the inner lid is occupied by the display. What you see is almost the screen. The CPU is "Core i9-11900H" like "S17", and the GPU is equipped with "GeForce RTX 3070", which realizes considerably high performance while being compact.

The housing is ultra-thin and 19.9 mm thick. It weighs only 1.9 kg and uses a durable magnesium / aluminum chassis. In addition, the upper lid is designed to reflect a hologram-like rainbow color by adjusting the amount of light, and it is also a feature that the light seems to move when opening and closing. It's cool without being too unfashionable.

The speakers are the same as the "S17" and have 6 built-in speakers. It also has a "dual force scan selling woofer", a "Dolby Atmos", and a 3D microphone that picks up clear audio. There is also a webcam so it seems comfortable to use everyday.

The keyboard is a stealth type with a keystroke sound of 30 dB or less, and the keys are 20% larger than the conventional product, so it is easy to type. In addition, Thunderbolt 4 (100W with USB-C port) is used for charging according to the PD standard, and a battery life of 10 hours can be expected.

The M16 is for people who really want to play games while being aware of everyday use such as work and study.
