Success with ROG Flow X13 ASUS has again raised the bar for convertible 2-in-1 gaming laptops. ROG Flow X16 managed to become a 2-in-1 convertible gaming laptop with the fastest 16-inch screen today. What is the sophistication?
1. ROG Nebula Display screen
ROG Flow X16 brings the ROG Nebula Display touch screen panel. As a gaming laptop, the screen supports a 165 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, adaptive sync and a 3 millisecond response time. The screen resolution is also high at 2.5K 2560 x 1600 pixels. For color accuracy, the screen complies with the 100% DCI-P3 color standard and has a Pantone Validated certification. In addition, the screen supports a brightness level of 500 nits and is very safe for the eyes with TUV Rheinland certification for low blue light and anti-flicker.
2. Extremely fast performance
Successfully becoming the fastest convertible 2-in-1 gaming laptop, ROG Flow X16 is powered by the AMD Ryzen mobile 6000 series processor. The fastest configuration uses an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070Ti graphics card with a TDP of 125W.
The RAM and processor are supported by up to 64GB of RAM and 1TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage space. With its very fast performance, this laptop can also be relied on for creative content.

3. ASUS ROG XG Mobile Support
If the performance of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070Ti graphics card is not fast enough, the ROG Flow X16 can be paired with an additional ROG XG Mobile graphics card dock. This graphics card dock is sold separately. Interestingly, this year’s ROG XG Mobile 2022 is even more capable with graphics card support up to AMD Radeon RX6850M XT.
4. State-of-the-art ROG Intelligent Cooling cooling system
To compensate for its very fast performance, ASUS presents the ROG Intelligent Cooling cooling system. This cooling system relies on Frost Force and Heatsink Pulsar technology. In addition, ASUS also presents liquid metal support from Thermal Grizzly. That way the cooling system is able to provide optimal cooling capabilities and is quieter even though the body design is thin and light.
5. MUX Switch
The ROG Flow X16 is also the first 16-inch convertible gaming laptop equipped with a MUX Switch. MUX Switch is a special chip that can switch the display processing data path directly to the Nvidia GeForce RTX discrete graphics chip. Compared to other switching methods, MUX Switch can cut latency and increase in-game framerates by up to 15%.
