ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) Malaysia officially announced the ROG Zephyrus M16 & ROG Strix G series local pricings and hardware configurations. These new 2022 gaming laptop models are fully refreshed to be 2022 ready and they look pretty exciting. Let’s take a look!
The new ROG Strix G15 and G17 are powered by up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU at 140W with Dynamic Boost for similarly high-end horsepower. The G15 offers up to FHD 300 Hz display options, while the G17 offers Full HD 360 Hz for competitive gaming. All the Strix G models support Dolby Vision. All displays come with 3 ms response times, and Adaptive Sync. The Strix G also comes in Eclipse Gray as well as two neon color choices that will stand out from the crowd.
All Strix models are equipped with a quad-speaker design and Dolby Atmos spatial sound, which brings soundstages to life with immersive crystal-clear, and lifelike realism in the heat of battle. Two-way AI Noise Cancelation filters out background noise for both ingoing and outgoing communications, so everyone’s voice comes through loud and clear. A MUX Switch ensures top-tier GPU performance, PCIe Gen 4×4 storage boosts lightning-fast load times, and DDR5 4800 MHz RAM provides plenty of memory for multitasking.
In addition, Strix models are equipped up to 90 Wh battery, plus 100 W Type-C charging for on-the-go usage. Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G LAN provide cutting-edge networking for minimal lag on both wired and compatible wireless networks.
