80% Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX701 review: Light, slim and powerful
Source: Gadgets Now Archive.org version
Gamers need three things from their laptop or gaming machine. First, a good and well-calibrated responsive display; second: performance, and at last a little 'show-off' attitude from the device. Well, Asus Zephyrus S GX701 ticks all the boxes without any doubt. The laptop has a G-Sync enabled Pantone calibrated display with 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time making it one of the fastest displays on laptop in the market. The laptop comes with the latest generation Intel processor and RTX series graphics card results in more than enough performance than required and third, the show-off attitude, well, that's subjective, but the chunky ROG logo at the lid, individually lit RGB backlit in keyboard, AAS vent and that thin profile of the laptop gives it enough appeal as well. Those looking for a thin and powerful gaming laptop that does not make you look awkward even at public places, Asus Zephyrus S GX701 is not going to disappoint you.
