Gaming laptops have a huge market in India, especially now that retail high-end desktop PC components are harder to buy than ever. Many people have chosen gaming laptops over desktops because they prefer compact, versatile machines that can serve for work as well as entertainment, but there have often been limits in terms of hardware power and immersion. Now, a new class of gaming laptops is emerging, thanks to new hardware that allows for much-improved performance in slim, practical laptops. We're now seeing the emergence of a new category with 16-inch 1440p displays, thanks to the latest CPUs and GPUs being able to drive this resolution without sacrificing quality.
Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 Summary
The 2021 Zephyrus M16 stuffs at 16-inch screen into a body that's actually slightly smaller than that of its predecessor, the 15-inch Zephyrus M15. There's a pattern of over 8,000 finely drilled holes on the lid, through which you'll see shifting light patterns thanks to a reflective "prismatic" layer. On the inside you get brand new 'Tiger Lake-H' 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs and Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series mobile GPUs. The unit reviewed featured a Core i9-11900H CPU, GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, 2TB NVMe SSD, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. There's a webcam in the slim frame above the screen, an RGB backlit keyboard, and large trackpad. You get plenty of ports too. Performance is very good but this laptop does get quite hot and it can be uncomfortable to touch in spots.
