ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX701 Gaming Laptop, 17.3” 144Hz Pantone Validated Full HD IPS, GeForce RTX 2080, Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe Nvme SSD Hyper Drive, Windows 10 Pro-GX701GX-XS76

My Zephyrus GX701 system came from Mobile Advance with a 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD with 16 GB RAM. RTX2080 MaxQ with 144hz of sweet G-Sync. Arrived on time as stated by the 2day shipping guaranteed. Unit is packaged by Asus with WINDOWS 10 PRO and its external 1080p webcam in box – Micro-USB Display – 17+” of Smooth 144hz refresh rate. Back lid made of aluminum, really thin plastic bezels with a 1” chin filled with NVIDIA’s stickers on the left. FINGERPRINT MAGNET Cooling vs Typing for GAMERS – I personally prefer the front keyboard layout rather than the traditional laptop ergonomics, as the purpose of the machine is extreme gaming with the able to quickly TRANSPORT. The perforated top was warm while gaming but did its job in keeping things cool. Asus aura RGB keyboard looks wonderful, although the software is lacking in customization and compatibility with other RGB devices. Chassis RGB lights can be optionally turned off as well. Keyboard feels good for typing, yet again – extreme gaming, I use both usb 3.0 interfaces on the right with another keyboard. TrackNum pad (FINGERPRINT MAGNET too) took a short time for me to get acquainted with using it to navigate Windows Pro. Noise – The Zephyrus uses the CPU fan mainly, while doing little tasks. Making the Zephyrus sounds and looks like any other Zen design ASUS. However, the two GPU fans kicks in when a game loads up and this thing comes alive. In comparison, this Zephyrus is much quieter than “classical” gaming laptops of early 2017. Interface – Lacking Thunderbolt and RJ45 port. At least there are two u.s.b gen-1 and one u.s.b gen-2. Speakers – There laptop speaker. Battery – Power brick is 19.5v barrel plug. 3.2 A . Supports USB PD. Disabling the Geforce and using the intel graphics, I could use the Zephyrus to watch YOUTUBE for a bit over 3 hours. However, with GeForce enabled the battery life from a full charge was less than 45 mins of G-SYNC, surfing the web. GAMING –On this 17” (1920 X 1080) METRO EXODUS played butter smooth with all settings maxed out, including the dreaded FPS killer DLSS and RTX. ANTHEM ( work in progress) runs uninterrupted maxed out graphics settings too, for now.

Install Flash Player I hope this product is one of the best product across all the ASUS gaming laptops. However, I meet the exact same problem as my old ASUS GX501, when you turn the volume above 35%, the left speaker will be very noisy such as a broken sound which I have already uploaded in the video. I fixed this issue with my GX501 by changing the whole keyboard module but I can not imagine that a laptop cost about $3500 also have this problem. I hope ASUS could make sure all the product do not have such problem. Cause my friend also bought the same model and he did not have the same problem with me and I have heard from the BBS that these customers bought the GX701 still had such problem and we could find the videos on the youtube to hear the broken sound of the left speaker.

If you add more memory to this laptop (16GB module or higher), memory will run in single channel mode. This may impact gaming frame rates in certain titles. Overall Im really happy with this laptop so far, the RTX 2080 MQ is the 90W version and closer to desktop performance vs other RTX 2080 MQ designs out there.

For a gaming laptop, it is very portable. Runs games like World of Warships or Battlefield V like a champ. It does get pretty hot though when gaming so I am not sure of it’s longevity. Only real complaint is it comes with Macafee software preinstalled and it is almost impossible to uninstall. Otherwise so far really like it

This is the excellent laptop Ive ever seen. But when I open the game, you can hear a little electricity noise. And it doesnt support thunderbolt 3.
