Reviews for the Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703HS-KF004R
Source: Expert Reviews
I haven’t talked about the price yet, but, like walking into a Mayfair shop, if you have to ask how much the Zephyrus S17 costs then you probably can’t afford it. There are far cheaper gaming laptops, and you’re paying a premium not only for performance but also for quality. That includes the 1440p display, mechanical keyboard and high-quality chassis. If you want more RGB bling and don’t mind a fatter design, the ROG Strix 17 G733 is a better choice. For us, though, the more subtle and slimmer Zephyrus design – and superior screen – win out. If money is no object, this is our gaming laptop of choice.

In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
