Asus, a brand that is now synonymous with gamers around the globe, is now expanding its portfolio in India by introducing the ROG Zephyrus M16 2022 model. This new gaming laptop, as expected, is packed with the newest processor, ample RAM and other powerful innards, offering an overall better gaming experience. The laptop also aims to deliver a robust experience to creators and streamers as the company is pitching this product at the centre of speed, power and portability.

Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 2022 Price and Availability

Asus has priced its Zephyrus M16 2022 laptop at Rs 1,79,990 for the base model. Gamers can get their hands on it from April 8 on Asus e-shop, Amazon, Flipkart and offline channels including Croma, Reliance and Vijay Sales.

Asus seems to be really doubling down on the gaming laptop market in India this year. The launch of ROG Zephyrus M16 2022 comes a few weeks after the Taiwanese firm introduced ROG Strix Scar 15, 17, Strix G15, and G17 in India with Intel 12th-gen and AMD SoCs. In March itself, the firm launched TUF F15, F17, TUF A15, and A17 in the country. Such an aggressive approach by the company should definitely be a concern for rivals in the same segment like HP and Lenovo.
