Asus has announced a brand-new successor to the first-ever Nvidia Max-Q gaming laptop, the Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501.
This one is known as the Zephyrus S GX531, and its substantially thinner than before.With that in mind, the Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX531 isnt the powerhouse that the original model was.
Currently only Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or 1070 graphics options are available here and both are in the Max-Q design that allows for thinner laptop hardware.The idea is to bring a similar, if slightly inferior, level of power to a device thats even more portable.
To that end, the Zephyrus S measures 14.95mm at its thinnest point, while the original model comes in at 16.9mm.
This, by Asuss measure, makes it the worlds thinnest gaming laptop yet again.The weight of the Zephyrus S is an impressively-light 4.63 pounds (2.1kg)The new Zephyrus keeps the 144Hz display of its predecessor while updating the platform to the hexa-core Intel Core i7-8750H processor one the latest and most powerful available.Asus also claims to have improved the laptops thermals even further by refining its Active Aerodynamic System, which opens vents that widen as the users lifts the screen when opening the laptop.Asus achieved all of this in a laptop thats not only thinner but smaller in width, thanks to narrower bezels than ever producing a 15.6-inch screen within a 14-inch laptop frame.If youre interested, both Zephyrus S models will be up for pre-order in the US on August 31, with the GTX 1070 variety generally available September 15 starting at $2,199 (about AU$3,038).
