Model: The Zephyrus series hailing from the Asus brand bears a resounding name of considerable prevalence within the modern gaming industry. Zephyrus is one of the most widely acclaimed gaming laptop lineups to house astounding core specifications and graphics without cutting back on some slack when it comes to style in general. Boasting an all-new design with major key components to fuel the system, the Asus Zephyrus S GX701 arrives into the scene and makes its grand debut as the next generation of modern gaming powerhouse in order to carry on the Zephyrus lineup’s long-running legacy.
The Asus Zephyrus S GX701 immediately stands out from the rest of the crowd just from its sheer size alone. It carries a measurement of 17 inch for its display and the vastness of the screen is further amplified by super narrow bezels in a chassis, which is just 18.7 millimeters thin. Gazing before the screen alone is undeniably surreal due to its width, but with multimedia graphics or content being projected on the 144 Hz, 3 ms panel with Pantone-validated colors only makes visuals just as breathtaking as real life scenery itself. The perplexity in weight, which comes with such extraordinary size is cleverly being counterbalanced by slim bezels and intuitive design, which makes the Asus Zephyrus S GX701 still conveniently redeemable to commute around as well as being fitted inside the average standard backpacks.
The highflyer components laying dormant and waiting to be tapped into their fullest potential within the Asus Zephyrus S Gx701 are none other than the 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750H and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080. The i7-9750H enables performance rate to clock up to a speed of 4.5 GHz unlike any other, which is a significant increase of 50 % in performance when compared to other Intel Core processors. This six-core based processor alone is enough to make the Asus Zephyrus S GX701 to sustain the most demanding of applications or games. The Intel Core i7-9750H is coupled with the GeForce RTX 2080 in order to emulate the ultimate gaming experience. The GeForce RTX 2080 graphics processing unit has been known to integrate the Turing ray-tracing technology, which renders in-game graphics to a whole new level of thematic realism. When paired with a high-end processor of such caliber, this potent combination could possibly be one of the best components pairing to ever be graced in one’s gaming laptop of choice. Aside from that, the Asus Zephyrus S GX701 also introduces a quirky little feature known as the Volume Wheel, which serves as a convenient and accessible extension to adjust the volume of the laptop, while in the midst of an intense gaming session.
