  • The large cooling vent feels flimsy when opened. The display tops out at standard HD resolution

  • Very expensive
  • Poor battery life
  • Dark and dull display

  • The ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 has definitely changed the gaming notebook industry. The Taiwanese company has introduced that it is possible to create a thin notebook and yet deliver a powerful hardware inside.This thin and light gaming notebook might not br...

  • Abstract:  What does it take to build a gaming laptop that isn't built with the thickness of a Subway sandwich and quiet enough to run Overwatch next to a sleeping baby? Apparently, just NVIDIA's Max-Q technology – the tech company's unique design approach that enab...

  • At Php179,000 or $3,000, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 sits in a position wherein form comes first than functionality and not in a vain kind of way. Portability has slowly been eroded by high-end gaming notebooks in favor of performance and as they are tout...

  • The ASUS Republic of Gamers GX501 established a new gold standard for mobile computing and gaming on a laptop. While it didn't ace all the categories I set up for my review, it proved itself to be a device wealthy of outstanding points and offering. ASUS...

  • Abstract:  The ASUS ROG Zephyrus made a splash in Computex 2017. At just 16.9mm, the Zephyrus is the thinnest GTX 1080-equipped laptop in the world. Barely a month has passed since Computex and the Zephyrus is now available for pre-order in the Philippines.The Zephy...

  • 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...

  • We're no stranger to thin and light notebooks – we've reviewed our fair share of skinny notebooks in the past, but none of them holds a candle to what's inside the Zephyrus. The notebook measures in at 16.9mm when closed, which is far thinner than Razer's...

  • Ligero fino y compacto, prácticamente un Ultrabook, Rendimiento excepcional, Sistema de refrigeración muy bien pensado, G-SYNC y 120 Hz, Incluye ratón, reposamanos y destornillador, GTX 1080 Max-Q con buena eficiencia, SSD NVMe PCIe x4, Diseño sobrio y el
  • Pantalla con poco brillo y calibración de serie mediocre, El procesador alcanza temperaturas altas (98ºC), Pocas facilidades para acceder al interior, Imán para las huellas
  • Con este ROG Zephyrus ASUS ha hecho un trabajo de ingeniería sorprendente. Es cierto que, como hemos visto, la GTX 1080 MAX-Q se parece más a una GTX 1070 que a una GTX 1080, pero es que portátiles con más grosor y una GTX 1070 no consiguen mantener tan f...

  • Diseño elegante y ultradelgado, Los 120 Hz y la tecnología GSync aportan una fluidez prodigiosa, Consumo y ruido reducidos para un equipo de estas características
  • Precio elevado, El teclado y sobre todo el ratón son demasiado originales, Olvídate de jugar sin tenerlo enchufado a la corriente, La pantalla se queda corta si lo usas como equipo de trabajo
  • Los portátiles destinados al mundo del gaming suelen tener una orientación clara, pero aquí ASUS rompe el molde con un equipo al que no todos los gamers querrán acceder. La razón es obvia: el ASUS ROG Zephyrus sacrifica parte del rendimiento que uno esper...
