ROG’s Zephyrus lineup returns to CES 2026 with a strong focus on portability without sacrifice, introducing upgrades that blend AI acceleration, improved cooling, and significantly brighter displays into some of its most recognisable gaming laptops. Designed for gamers and creators who demand high performance on the move, the refreshed Zephyrus family aims to deliver sustained power in sleek, ultraportable designs.

Leading the lineup is the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16, which continues to push the boundaries of laptop versatility with its dual-screen configuration. Featuring dual 3K Nebula HDR OLED touchscreens running at 120Hz, the Duo 16 is built for users who multitask heavily, whether that means gaming while streaming, managing creative timelines, or running multiple productivity apps at once. With NVIDIA G-SYNC support on the main display and ultra-fast response times, the Duo 16 targets both competitive gamers and professional creators.

Under the hood, the Zephyrus Duo 16 is configured with the latest high-performance processors and top-tier NVIDIA GeForce RTX laptop GPUs, positioning it as a machine capable of handling demanding games, creative workloads, and AI-driven applications. ROG’s Intelligent Cooling system plays a critical role here, combining vapor chamber cooling, dual fans, and advanced thermal materials to keep performance consistent across multiple usage modes.

For users who prefer a more traditional form factor, the new Zephyrus G14 and G16 refreshes redefine what compact gaming laptops can deliver. Both models feature next-generation processors with up to 50 TOPS of NPU performance, enabling on-device AI acceleration for gaming enhancements, creative tools, and multitasking. GPU headroom has also been increased, giving enthusiasts more sustained performance when running in manual or performance-focused modes.

Display quality is a major upgrade this generation. ROG introduces a new Nebula HDR display with peak brightness reaching up to 1100 nits, delivering richer highlights, deeper contrast, and cinema-grade colour accuracy. With full DCI-P3 coverage and factory-tuned colour calibration, these panels are designed to satisfy both gamers and creators who rely on colour-critical workflows.

ROG has also refined the physical design and usability of the Zephyrus line, adding features like improved exhaust layouts, redesigned bottom panels for better airflow, liquid metal cooling on the CPU, and even a full-size SD card reader for faster media transfers. Wrapped in CNC-milled aluminium chassis designs with updated lighting accents, the G14 and G16 maintain their premium identity while offering meaningful functional upgrades.

Although local availability details for Malaysia have not yet been announced, the Zephyrus lineup has historically been a strong performer in the local market. With brighter HDR displays, stronger AI capabilities, and better thermal headroom, the 2026 Zephyrus models look set to appeal to Malaysian gamers and creators seeking a single machine that can handle gaming, content creation, and everyday productivity without compromise.
