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

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

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

Asus has created a surprisingly slim Nvidia 1080 gaming laptop in the Zephyrus. It's expensive and has a few design quirks, but it's also very portable and just plain fun to use...
Abstract: All images: Alex Cranz/GizmodoA couple of weeks ago I was braving the big crowds of E3 to meet with the Nvidia team, and while I was ostensibly there to check out Destiny 2 on a PC, what I really wanted to know was what the hell Max-Q Design was. Nvidia...
The ASUS Zephyrus certainly impresses when it comes to delivering high-quality gaming at incredibly smooth framerates. But it fails at actually being a laptop. Its strange keyboard placement, compromised track-pad and variety of extras you'll need to have...

Abstract: So you want the fastest laptop your money can buy? That's a challenging goal: It depends on how you define "fast," and to some extent on how you define "laptop," too. Still, we'll try to help you hit the moving target here.The short version? There are di...
NVIDIA MAX-Q GTX 1080, Extremely portable, Great display
Underside is a bit flimsy
The ASUS ROG GX501 Zephyrus bridges the gap between performance and portability. At Digit, we simply can't count the number of times that we've been asked for recommendations that could not only provide great portability but also not compromise on perform...
An amazing laptop equipped with GTX 1080, for people who like to game and desire something very portable, but it comes with a steep price.(previously published in issue November 2017)...
Ultra-thin form factor, Extremely lightweight, Lots of power with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 with Max-Q Design, G-SYNC and 120Hz refresh rate are an optical godsend
Crippling battery life, Keyboard placement is awkward, Extremely expensive
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus is not a practical notebook, because it simply wasn't designed to be.With a retail price of RM15,999 for the machine, it is clearly a toy for the big boys (with deep pockets), and people who really just want to be able to enjoy today...
Not everyone will be rushing to stores to pick up the Zephyrus, and not everyone should. This is something for the early adopters and those who have a little extra money to burn on new toys.The Asus ROG Zephyrus is a solid first effort from Asus; particul...

Gaming laptops that you could comfortably carry away from a desk have been a long time coming. The Zephyrus is the closest we've come yet, thanks to an industry-wide partnership with Nvidia that'll also see models from other manufacturers getting the slim...
Abstract: As it turns out, you can have your cake and eat it too. When you have something as thin as ASUS' ROG Zephyrus GX501, and still have it pack an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, you start to wonder how you ever put up with thick and bulky gaming notebooks of the p...
