ASUS Zephyrus S GX701, with super thin 6.9mm bezels, comes with a reverse notch and is powered by 8th generation Intel Core i7 chip and brand new NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™. ASUS Zephyrus series of notebooks provide premium gaming features and the new GX701 takes it to next level. The display panel, with 81% screen-to-body ratio, supports 144Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync for super smooth game play. With NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ GPUs, ASUS brings ray tracing to mainstream laptops. While GX701 has a 17″ panel, GX531 comes with 15″display.
ROG GC21 external camera captures crisp Full HD footage at a silky 60 FPS. The Zephyrus S raises its haunches in one smooth motion, opening a gap that increases airflow by up to 32% compared to traditional designs. It draws additional air through vents above the keyboard, and dual fans propel it all through four heatsinks and exhaust vents flanking the rear corners. The keyboard support RGB lighting and each key comes with its own backlit LED key and supports ASUS Aura. Intel’s latest 802.11ac Gigabit WiFi module with 2×2 MU-MIMO lets the GX701 deliver faster wireless throughput when paired with compatible routers like the ROG Rapture GT-AC5300. Staying connected is easy thanks to ROG RangeBoost, a patented wireless technology that constantly scans your surroundings and automatically shifts between two pairs of antennas to maintain the best signal. The antennas are positioned to cover each other’s dead spots, which helps to extend the laptop’s useful range.
