The editors liked
Thin and light form factor
Good build quality
Except for the moving plate
Nice 120Hz IPS matte screen with GSync
Decent keyboard and trackpad with Numpad solution
Top specs and solid performance
Upgradeable RAM and SSD
Fair price
The super-slim design of the Asus Zephyrus hides excellent gaming performance and a powerful Nvidia 1080 graphics card. The hidden kickstand vent provides cooling while not interfering with portability
Stunning Max-Q design
Quiet under heavy load
Inclusion of an Nvidia Max-Q GTX 1080 GPU
This second-gen version of the Asus Zephyrus keeps the inventive raised cooling vent
Lowers the price
Adds a new six-core Intel Core i7 CPU
And fixes the poor touchpad placement in the original

The editors didn't like
Moving plate on the bottom feels fragile
No way to turn off the red lights and accents
The keyboard's positioning could be tough to get used to
Runs quite hot
But also fairly quiet
Poor speakers
Short battery life
Due to having a small battery and
The large cooling vent feels flimsy when opened. The display tops out at standard HD resolution
And the misplaced touchpad on the far right side is tough to get used to
Very expensive
Poor battery life
Dark and dull display
The fans still get quite loud
Battery life is short
There's a thick screen bezel around the non-touch display
And there's no built-in Ethernet jack
Which is important for downloading large game files
Body may be a little weak
Likely to be expensive
Slightly esoteric layout
Weak battery
Very poor battery life
Too hot to use as a laptop
Battery life is poor
The keyboard and mouse positions make them awkward to use

As beautifully portable and discreet as it is, the Asus Zephyrus isn't quite as mobile as you'd hope it would be - keyboard and trackpad location make it difficult to use anywhere other than a desktop environment, while the battery life is distinctly unde...

As an example of a Max-Q laptop, the Zephyrus is brilliant. Its design is both attractive and clever, while performance isn't compromised one bit. It'll be a niche product, sure, but it's mighty impressive all the same...

If you're willing to spend nearly $3,000 on a laptop with the looks of an ultrabook but the power of a desktop, this is for you. Yes, it might have keyboard and touchpad placement off the beaten path — their placement will either drive you mad or leave yo...
