Case - Slim gaming laptop from Asus
Since the Zephyrus S15's case hasn't changed, please refer to the Zephyrus S GX502GW review article for a detailed description.
Connectivity - The Zephyrus S15 comes with Thunderbolt 3
The connectivity of the Asus ROG Zephyrus S15 also remains unchanged whereby the USB Type-C port now provides a Thunderbolt 3 connection.
Communication
In addition to the wired Gigabit LAN port, the ASUS laptop can also establish connections over wireless networks. The Wi-Fi 6 standard is now available, with which the Zephyrus S15 reaches speeds of 1,420 Mb/s for receiving data and 1,310 Mb/s for sending data in our test with our reference router, the Netgear Nighthawk AX12. This puts it in second place in our test field.
Accessories
The Asus ROG Zephyrus S15 comes with a 240-watt power adapter and a 65-watt power adapter with a USB Type-C plug. Additional accessories, such as the "ROG Eye" webcam, can be purchased on the manufacturer's website.
Maintenance
The Asus Zephyrus S15 does not offer any maintenance options. Although users can remove the base cover, this only makes the fans accessible.
Warranty
Asus grants buyers of the ROG Zephyrus S15 GX502L a warranty period of 24 months.
Input devices - Laptop keyboard with RGB backlighting
You can find a detailed description of the input devices in the review article of the identically built Zephyrus S GX502GW.
Display - Flicker-free 300 Hz panel
The Zephyrus S15 screen consists of a 15.6-inch IPS panel and offers a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels as well as a refresh rate of 300 Hz. With an average brightness of 289 cd/m², it sits in the middle of our test field. The same applies to the brightness distribution of 90%. In addition, Asus has forgone the use of PWM for brightness control, which is beneficial to users with sensitive eyes.

With a contrast ratio of 1,179:1 and a black level of 0.24 cd/m², the colors on the screen appear well separated from each other, and black image content looks deep and saturated. This is accompanied by a good color-space coverage of 93% (sRGB) and 71% (AdobeRGB), respectively.
The CalMAN analysis also shows that colors are displayed out of the box with a slightly too high blue component and a red component that's too low. These conditions can be almost completely compensated for by calibration. The corresponding ICC file can be downloaded in the window located at the top, to the right of the display's brightness distribution graph.

Performance - Gaming laptop for demanding games
With the Zephyrus S15, Asus is aiming at gamers who want to run modern titles at high graphics levels and are looking for a device that is as slim as possible. Asus's gaming laptop meets these demands with the hardware installed here, but the ROG Zephyrus S GX502GW predecessor model is still able to do so as well.
Processor
With its eight cores and clock rates between 2.3 and 5.1 GHz, the Intel Core i7-10875H used here offers about 10% more performance compared to the Intel Core i7-9750H found in the ROG Zephyrus S GX502GW. In comparison with the rest of the test field, the CPU installed here achieves a slightly above-average result.
In our Cinebench R15 endurance test, the Core i7-10875H can maintain its performance even over a longer period of time. Therefore, users don't have to expect a drop in CPU performance even under heavy load.
* ... smaller is better
System performance
The Zephyrus S15 achieves a place in the middle of our test field in the PCMark 10 system performance test. In everyday use, programs run smoothly, the system starts quickly, and files are accessed without delays.

Emissions - Good speakers and occasional coil whine
Noise emissions
The Asus ROG Zephyrus S15's fans can be very bothersome under load at a noise level of up to 57 dB(A). However, since most games also deliver smooth frame rates in the "Quiet" performance profile, the noise level can be significantly reduced in everyday use.
When accessing files, a clear coil whine can be heard.

Temperature
The surfaces of the Zephyrus S15 heat up to 51 °C (~124 °F) in our test. Because this temperature occurs primarily in the rear area of the top side, the gaming laptop from Asus can still be used without any problems on the lap, for example.
During our stress test, which lasted about an hour, the internal temperatures rose up to 94 °C (~201 °F), and the clock rates dropped to an average value of about 2 GHz, which is below the base clock speed of the i7-10875H. In our The Witcher 3 endurance test, however, the clock rates could be maintained at an average of 3.9 GHz while temperatures remained moderate; therefore, players don't have to fear any performance drops due to excessive temperatures in everyday use.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 51 °C / 124 F, compared to the average of 40.5 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 44 °C / 111 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.3 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(-) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 44.1 °C / 111 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 37 °C / 98.6 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (-8.1 °C / -14.6 F).
Speakers
The speakers in the Zephyrus S15 offer high volume and a broad sound spectrum. This allows for the consumption of both games and media content without the absolute need for external speakers or headphones.

Energy management - Short battery life
Energy consumption
With a consumption of up to 232 watts under load, the Asus ROG Zephyrus S15 shows a comparatively high energy consumption. However, the included 240-watt power adapter has sufficient capacity to provide it with the necessary energy.
A 65-watt power adapter is also included in the box, which has enough capacity to supply the device with energy over USB Type-C in office usage.

Verdict - Shorter battery life with a "Super" GPU
The Asus ROG Zephyrus S15 GX502L is, without a doubt, a powerful gaming laptop. The slim design also makes it a quite mobile device if you're willing to regularly look for an outlet for the smaller of the two power adapters. In gaming mode, the ventilation system ensures good frame rates, even without the fans having to be turned all the way up.
With the Asus ROG Zephyrus S15, modern games can be played at maximum details without any issues.
But this raises the question for prospective buyers of why they should choose this model. The predecessor device is available for a similar price, offers a comparable gaming performance, and lasts a bit longer on battery power. The increase in performance is not too big despite the more current CPU and the inclusion of the RTX 2070 Super instead of "only" the RTX 2070. But if you value maximum performance over battery life, you will be very satisfied with the Zephyrus S15.
