ROG Zephyrus S GX531: World's Slimmest Gaming Laptop
Proving ROG's engineering prowess, Zephyrus S GX531 is an ultra-slim laptop that packs high-end gaming components. Targeting a thinner chassis, the slender exterior measures nearly 15.35~16.15mm and leverages a 15.6" display, featuring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q. The low profile doesn't scale down specifications, as GX531 is powered by the latest Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, a premium 144Hz refresh rate display and 3ms response time plus all the ROG essentials. This makes the smaller Zephyrus S a more focused alternative for people who prioritize portability above everything else. Lastly, with patented AAS cooling system, 12V anti-dust cooling fans, 5 heat pipes and 4 heat sinks, the laptop offers a high-performance experience.
ROG Zephyrus S GX701GX: Performance Beast in a Sleek Body
The 17" gaming laptop packs high-end computing prowess with up to 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processors and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX ™ 2080 GPU in an even more compact 15" ultra slim chassis. It ensures a great gaming experience with 144Hz 3ms response time display and gives content creators accurate, Pantone® Validated colors with factory calibration and ProArt™ TruColor Technology. All this is packed in thin bezel design offering an 81% screen to body ratio. The S GX701GX also offers an exclusive GPU Switch that easily transitions between better gaming and longer battery life and the patented AAS cooling system sustains high performance via efficient cooling. The gaming laptop creates the perfect ambiance for gaming, with per-key RGB Lighting and Aura Sync, which also extends illumination to volume roller for quick adjustment and a glowing numpad that appears on the touchpad.
ROG Strix SCAR II – Set up for shooters
Built for the FPS side of the esports arena, the 15.6" ROG Strix SCAR II is available with the same 144Hz high refresh rate and 3ms response time. Up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics with 8GB of VRAM give SCAR II enough horsepower to drive triple-digit frame rates in popular shooters. Latest NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ expands to horizons in true to life graphics with advanced Ray-Tracing Technology. Strix SCAR II is powered by the latest 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H six-core CPU, providing 23% more performance over the previous generation. With HyperCool Pro, the gaming laptop remains cool, even in the most heated battles. Besides, packing in the ROG RangeBoost technology, Strix SCAR II offers the best Wi-Fi connectivity with single NVMe PCIex3 SSD. It is dual storage solution with SSD + SSHD which never compromises on speed and capacity.
