Review Summary
2021-06-01T20:00:00
Gaming on this laptop will get the job done. The pre-installed software takes a bit of time to set up properly (fan control etc.) and the McAfee interferes with multiplayer connection sometimes. Beyond that, the wifi card is just okay, but a cable will be better. The keyboard is decently comfortable, but will get hot when the 2080 super hits mid 70 temps but plugging a real keyboard will remedy. Honestly, when every kink is worked out, it slaps pretty hard. Gaming best while home, and edits content and runs DAWs fine on the go. I just wish there were more built in USB ports but they understandably only had so much space to work with.

I've had the GX502LWS model for a few weeks now and have been using it for research and gaming. It's an incredibly sleek and light laptop considering the processing power and I love the fact that the Armoury Crate software allows me to set performance profiles depending on the task I'm performing. One thing to note: this machine gets LOUD when it's in peak performance mode. If you need a laptop that's relatively quiet during gaming sessions this probably isn't the machine for you. That being said, playing games at 1080p 300mhz ultra settings is amazing! Overall, very satisfied with my Asus GX502LWS-XS76.

I've been using the ROG Zephyrus M15 for about 2 months now for school and gaming. This is an amazing machine. Games run smoothly, heating is not a problem (although I do have additional coolers just in case) and the overall built is great. The only down side is no Webcam, but I knew that before. Therefore, it is not a problem for me.

I'm just going to say it, this is the best gaming experience I have ever had. I simply cannot believe that this is all possible through a laptop of this form factor. I got this as a replacement for my GL502VM, which was on it's last legs. I'm already blown away and every aspect of this machine. The only drawbacks I've found are the noise and the heat (occasionally), which is to be expected with such a machine. The ability to turn on optimus following a simple restart, allowing you to use the device in a much more portable manner is great. Not to mention the improved battery life this offers over my last model, which only had discrete graphics (so no way to get that power back). All in all this is a great machine and I'm happy with it.

Happy so far, only had it for about a week now, still learning all of it's features and limits, so far performed fantastic with latest game i acquired, DOOM:ETERNAL. She does get a little warm with GeForce 1660 running full bore, but within parameters.

Smaller. Faster. Lighter.
Powerfully versatile for serious work and play, the ROG Zephyrus S15 redefines the bounds of Windows 10 ultra-slim gaming. Our Intelligent Cooling system augmented with liquid metal unleashes the full potential of the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, while an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GPU provides the power to saturate the ultrafast 300Hz/3ms PANTONE Validated display. Its adaptability shines with a Thunderbolt 3 port that connects to external displays, high-speed storage, and more on the go, as well as G-SYNC and Optimus modes that give you the freedom to shift between fluid gameplay and better battery life.
Design
Sleek, Strong, And Ultra-Slim
A reinforced metal chassis keeps the Zephyrus S15 resilient against everyday use. At 18.9mm thin and under 2kg, this powerhouse is 25% thinner and 42% lighter than typical 15'' gaming laptops. But it refuses to compromise between work and play, delivering dynamic performance and refined styling that's truly the best of both worlds.
Super-Narrow Bezels
Magnesium-Aluminum Alloy Chassis
18.9mm Thin
Strength Without the Weight
Forged from a special magnesium-aluminum alloy, the chassis is machined down to exceptional thinness while maintaining the strength and durability needed for everyday use.
Shaped for Stiffness
Honeycomb reinforcements beneath the palm rest strengthen a highly trafficked area. The die-cast structure resists flexing while adding minimal material and weight.
Fewer Fingerprints
Soft-touch paint covers the palm rest, minimizing smudges and fingerprints with a thin coating that helps sustain the sleek styling and subtle sparkle through to the end of the day.
Subtle Yet Striking
The streamlined design stuns in its details. Contrasting brush finishes slice across the lid, dovetailing precisely with the strategic cut that frees airflow out the back. Subtle diamond cuts chamfer the exterior edges and dig deeper near the touchpad to let you open the laptop effortlessly with one finger.
Performance
Lightweight Form. Heavyweight Performance.
Fusing the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU with revolutionary GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER graphics, the ROG Zephyrus S15 puts powerhouse performance in a compact package. ROG Boost clocks the GPU up to 1330MHz at 90W in Turbo mode to enable stunning realism, while the CPU offers speed and versatility for serious productivity and content creation. With up to 24GB of DDR4-3200 RAM support and 1TB of lightning fast RAID 0 SSD storage, the Zephyrus S15 cuts through heavy multitasking and enjoy faster load times for every game and app that comes your way.

The Zephyrus S15 is capable of reaching 8.3 hours of battery life in 1080p video playback, so you can unplug and take work and entertainment with you anywhere.
Cooling
Intelligent Cooling with Liquid Metal
Our Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the best experience for the chassis and components, no matter what you're doing. In the Zephyrus S15, our innovative Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) opens additional vents to increase airflow by 22%, while liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU amplifies clock speeds while you work. Your overall system longevity is also sustained by a self-cleaning thermal module that ejects dust and prevents build-up. ROG Armoury Crate software seamlessly switches between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task.
