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.
