Another gaming laptop that was unveiled last week is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus. Proven since last year, this is a revolutionary gaming laptop born from ROG’s persistent dedication to innovation. Despite being thinner than all previous ROG laptops, it has the hardware to rival high-end gaming desktops.
The New ROG Zephyrus GX501 is still the world’s thinnest gaming laptop with a GTX1080 and more. Featuring the ROG Aerodynamic Active System (AAS), the GX501 is able to maintain the power of Intel’s most powerful CPUs and a discrete GTX1080 under great temperatures. This year, ROG takes the GX501 a step further by harnessing the power of Intel’s Hexa-Core Core i7-8850H and upgrades the display to an ultra-fast 144 Hz refresh rate IPS panel with G-sync. It’s the world’s most powerful Ultrabook. New to the GX501 this year is the AURA Sync capability and a 1TB PCIEx4 NVME SSD option.
