As Intel and NVIDIA have both upgraded their laptop processors and product lines with discrete displays, ASUS has also launched a slew of new gaming laptops to respond. In addition to the updated specifications, this year’s notebooks feature two main technologies: Nebula Display means that the product has a panel with a high refresh rate; at the same time, to dissipate the heat of the new hardware smoothly, most of the models have Enhanced cooling.
First, Nebula Display indicates that it has at least a 4K panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, or a 1080p panel with a 240Hz refresh rate; while Nebula Display HDR uses Mini LED technology, it can have up to 1,024 light control zones and reaches the HDR 1000 specification.
As for the improvement of heat dissipation, it is to replace the modern 13th generation Intel or AMD Ryzen Zen 4 powerful processors and GeForce RTX 40 series independent display heat dissipation. Many models have greatly improved the dissipation capabilities of heat, including the entire back is used as a vent for heat dissipation, the number of fans is increased from two to three, the number of heat pipes is increased, and liquid metal is used for heat conduction, etc. ., to ensure that the notebook can work efficiently for a long time.
In terms of specific models, the first is the Strix SCAR 16 / 18 series. As can be seen from the names, they have been upgraded from the previous generation 15-inch and 17-inch screens to 16:10 16-inch and 18-inch screens. In addition to 13th generation Intel processors and NVIDIA RTX 40 graphics cards, they also have up to 64GB of memory, 2TB + 2TB Raid 0 PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a 240Hz QHD panel with up to Mini LEDs. These two models also use the aforementioned three fans and technology that uses the entire back as a vent for heat dissipation.
ASUS has also updated the Zephyrus M16 laptop, which also has a 16-inch 16:10 QHD Mini LED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate. With an upgraded cooling system, it can provide up to 160W total cooling power for CPU and GPU, and features AniMe Matrix LED display technology on the top plate.
Another upgrade is the Flow X13, a Yoga-style 2-in-1 flip tablet. Instead of simply updating the processor and display chip, it redesigned the fuselage, reduced its size, increased the battery to 75Wh, and increased the touchpad by 56%. It features an AMD processor and discrete graphics from NVIDIA for laptops, as well as a 13-inch QHD 16:10 165Hz panel.
Finally, there is the Gaming A16 from the TUF series. It has a 16-inch 16:10 panel with a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz, QHD resolution, and features 6 heat pipes, 84-blade fan, and 4 cooling vents to cool its AMD processor + independent display. TUF Gaming A16 also claims to meet the US military standard MIL-STD-810H.
