Gaming Powerhouse

This laptop is the finest I have ever touched. The metal chassis (I think it's magnesium). The display is 300 Hz, which looks unreal, and at 17.3 the FULL-HD resolution is great. I plugged this in to my PG27UQ and it can run 4K titles at low, medium settings. The RGB is beautiful, it really is an eyecandy, but I wish the back logo on the lid was also RGB. The sound system too is very good. Keyboard and trackpad placement is odd, but my hands are not really big so I have worked around it just fine, though I do recommend using a mouse with this product. The cooling system is what justifies the layout in the laptop, because it can efficiently cool the RTX 2080 max-q and Intel Core i7 9750H built in this unit without sizzling your hand like steak. I would like to add that the software is buggy because it fails to display the stats on my CPU. Also, I wish the laptop could have an alternative exhaust when closed, because I sometimes plug it in my monitor to play. Finally, since the laptop is so high-end, I don't understand why they would opt in removing Thunderbolt 3.0, considering this can do so much more than gaming.

ROG Zephyrus S GX701

Go Big. Stay Slim.
ROG Zephyrus S set the standard for ultra-slim Windows 10 Pro gaming laptops. Now it has bigger aspirations with a super-narrow-bezel 17-inch display in a chassis just 18.7mm thin. Zephyrus S GX701 is loaded with up to a GeForce RTX 2080 GPU and an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor. Immerse in its 300Hz/3ms panel with Pantone-validated colors, and use the ROG-exclusive GPU switch to change between G-SYNC for gaming and Optimus for battery life.

The Most Compact 17-Inch Gaming Laptop Ever
Immersing yourself in a larger display usually means lugging a larger laptop, but slim bezels and smart design make ROG Zephyrus S the smallest in its class. Easily carry it around town or across the world thanks to compact dimensions that put a 17-inch display in a 15-inch form factor. The sleek magnesium-alloy body fits inside standard bags and is strong enough to stand up to everyday life.

Spectacular Visuals Mix Speed And Precision
Slender bezels draw you deeper into the action on the 300Hz IPS-level display. The high refresh rate makes gameplay smoother and lowers input lag, while the 3ms gray-to-gray response time produces sharper visuals with no blurring. Color accuracy is critical for content creators, so factory calibration and ProArt TruColor Technology deliver a Pantone Validated palette.

Quickly Switch Gears for Work and Play
Live a double life powered by the ROG-exclusive GPU switch. With just a few clicks, ROG Zephyrus S transitions between better gaming and longer battery life. G-SYNC mode synchronises the GPU and display to deliver smoother gameplay with lower input lag and tear-free graphics, while Optimus mode selectively turns off the discrete GPU to save power with everyday desktop productivity and entertainment.

Potent Performance With Next-Gen Graphics
Remarkably slim without sacrificing speed, ROG Zephyrus S harnesses the latest GeForce RTX 2080 GPU and an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor to deliver desktop-like performance for hardcore gaming, serious creative work, and cutting-edge VR. The GPU enables photorealistic graphics thanks to real-time ray tracing technology and AI-enhanced image processing. It boosts up to 1230MHz at 100W, with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM clocked at 6001MHz, and both can be overclocked. This powerful core is backed by up to 24GB of DDR4 RAM for heavy multitasking and a 1TB NVMe SSD for your game library and professional portfolio.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series GPU
Fast, quiet performance. Real-time ray tracing and AI-enhanced graphics. And the mobility of the world's thinnest and lightest designs. It's everything you want. And it's only in GeForce RTX gaming laptops.

NVIDIA Turing
This revolutionary architecture, combined with our all-new GeForce RTX platform, fuses together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. You've never created and enjoyed games like this before.

Real-Time Ray Tracing In Games
Ray tracing is the definitive solution for lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, offering a level of realism far beyond what's possible using traditional rendering techniques. NVIDIA Turing is the first GPU capable of real-time ray tracing.

GeForce RTX gaming GPUs come loaded with next-generation GDDR6 memory, support for DirectX 12 features, and more. This is graphics reinvented.

Smarter Cooling For Faster Performance
Ultra-slim laptops leave less breathing room for cooling, so the unique ROG Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) expands to help Zephyrus S sustain top performance for gaming and other heavy loads. Lifting the lid opens a large intake that increases airflow by up to 32% compared to typical designs. Anti-dust tunnels keep the heatsinks clean to preserve cooling efficiency and system stability over time.

Customise and Coordinate Colors
The forward keyboard position lowers surface temperatures on the desktop-style layout, so you can game in comfort for hours. Customise per-key RGB backlighting for different games and workflows, and match colors and effects with compatible peripherals using Aura Sync. Illumination extends to a unique volume roller positioned for quick adjustment and a glowing numpad that appears on the touchpad.

Incredible Sound Powered By SmartAmp
Smart amplifier tech keeps the speakers within thermal and excursion limits when you spin the volume wheel, so you can turn it up without harming the cones. The amplified output is louder, with more bass and range that help you hear enemies on the battlefield, dialog in videos, and subtleties of your productivity soundtrack. Plug in a headset for immersion, and go deeper with virtual surround sound.

Tap Into Type-C Charging
ROG was first to support both DC and Type-C charging on gaming laptops. USB Power Delivery lets Zephyrus S charge from portable power packs, so you don't have to find a socket when the battery gets low. Fast-charging support reverses the flow, using up to 3A to quickly revive smartphones and other devices. You can also do everyday work with a smaller 65W adapter that lightens your load on the road.

Comprehensive Connectivity
ROG Zephyrus S has all the connectivity needed for gaming and working on the go. Alongside the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery, one Type-A port offers Gen 2 connectivity for devices that can keep up. Another Type-C (USB-C) port is available at USB 3.1 Gen 1 speed, while additional Type-A ports are perfect for a gamepad, mouse, or USB storage. HDMI 2.0 supports 4K UHD displays up to 60Hz, so you can game and entertain on big-screen TVs.

External Camera for Better Live-Streaming
Upgrade your stream with the ROG GC21 external camera. It captures crisp Full HD detail at a silky 60 FPS that makes movement smoother and more nuanced. Despite doubling the frame rate of conventional cameras, ROG GC21 folds to just 17mm thin and slips easily into a pocket. Position the USB-connected camera anywhere for the perfect angle, and be heard clearly by the beamforming microphone array.

Unified System Tuning and Personalisation
ROG Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting control to put essentials at your fingertips in a single utility. You can easily change settings for both and define up to four game profiles that automatically make adjustments when you launch your favorite titles. These options are just the beginning for what will become an even more versatile tool.
