DESIGN

THE MOST COMPACT 17-INCH GAMING LAPTOP EVER

Immersing yourself in a larger display usually means lugging a larger laptop, but slim bezels and smart design make ROG Zephyrus S the smallest in its class. Easily carry it around town or across the world thanks to compact dimensions that put a 17-inch display in a 15-inch form factor. The sleek magnesium-alloy body fits inside standard bags* and is strong enough to stand up to everyday life.

* ROG Zephyrus S GX701 fits into the 15-inch ASUS and ROG backpacks below.

SPECTACULAR VISUALS MIX SPEED AND PRECISION

Slender bezels frame one of two IPS-level panels. The HDR panel enhances AAA titles with richer colors, brilliant whites, and deeper blacks via local dimming. The HDR display also extends battery life with Panel Self Refresh and Static Display Refresh Rate Switch technologies that cut active power consumption by up to 11%. The SDR alternative gives content creators accurate, Pantone® Validated colors with factory calibration and ProArt™ TruColor Technology. Both boast silky smooth 144Hz refresh rates with blur-free 3ms response times.

PERFORMANCE

QUICKLY SWITCH GEARS FOR WORK AND PLAY

Live a double life powered by the ROG-exclusive GPU switch. With just a few clicks, ROG Zephyrus S transitions between better gaming and longer battery life. G-SYNC mode synchronizes the GPU and display to deliver smoother gameplay with lower input lag and tear-free graphics, while Optimus mode selectively turns off the discrete GPU to save power with everyday desktop productivity and entertainment.

Intel® Core™ ™ i7‐9750H, 32GB RAM, FHD display, 1TB PCIe® SSD. Battery tests conducted by ASUS in April 2019. Test settings: Wi‐Fi enabled, display brightness set to 150cd/m2. Actual battery life may vary depending on product configuration, usage, operational conditions and power management settings. Battery life will decrease over the lifetime of the battery.

PERFORMANCE

POTENT PERFORMANCE WITH NEXT-GEN GRAPHICS

Remarkably slim without sacrificing speed, ROG Zephyrus S harnesses the latest GeForce RTX™ 2080 GPU and 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 CPU to deliver desktop-like performance for hardcore gaming, serious creative work, and cutting-edge VR. The GPU enables photorealistic graphics thanks to real-time ray tracing technology and AI-enhanced image processing. It boosts up to 1230MHz at 90W, with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM clocked at 6001MHz, and both can be overclocked. This powerful core is backed by up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM for heavy multitasking and a 1TB NVMe SSD for your game library and professional portfolio.

POWERFUL SIX-CORE CPU

Zephyrus S features the latest Intel® Core™ i7 -9750H. With six cores and 12 threads via Hyper-Threading, it has 50% more cores than the last generation. There’s more power for serious work and heavy multitasking, plus effortless gaming with simultaneous recording and live-streaming. Intel Speed Shift and Turbo Boost balance performance and efficiency to deliver high speed and long battery life.

TURING-POWERED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY

Available with up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ with Max-Q Design graphics, ROG Zephyrus S is on the leading edge of GPU technology. The revolutionary NVIDIA Turing™ architecture mixes traditional CUDA cores for programmable shading with RT cores for ray tracing and Tensor cores for AI. Together, they enable more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in real time to make games more immersive.

HIGH-SPEED HYPERDRIVE STORAGE

Games, applications, and large files load at warp speed on the NVM Express® (NVMe®) SSD. ROG HyperDrive storage uses up to four PCI Express® (PCIe®) lanes to achieve amazing throughput. Up to 1TB of storage leaves loads of space to install larger content creation applications and all the games you might want to play, with plenty of room left for your professional portfolio.

DUAL-CHANNEL DDR4 MEMORY

Zephyrus S uses DDR4 memory optimized for high speed and low power consumption. The dual-channel config is clocked at 2666MHz, yielding an 11% performance increase over 2400MHz RAM. With up to 24GB under the hood, there’s enough RAM to multitask while gaming.

COOLING

SMARTER COOLING FOR FASTER PERFORMANCE

Ultra-slim laptops leave less breathing room for cooling, so the unique ROG Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) expands to help Zephyrus S sustain top performance for gaming and other heavy loads. Lifting the lid opens a large intake that increases airflow by up to 32% compared to typical designs. Anti-dust tunnels keep the heatsinks clean to preserve cooling efficiency and system stability over time.

CPU/GPU/VRM

COMPREHENSIVE COOLING COVERAGE

Five heatpipes snake beneath the surface to pull heat away from not only the CPU and GPU, but also the circuitry supplying them with power. This design keeps the power components under 80°C, which helps improve long-term reliability. The CPU and GPU connect to both shared and dedicated heatsinks to ensure efficient cooling for any workload.

MORE ULTRA-THIN FINS

Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins that are twice as thick. There are 250 heatsink fins totaling 110,000mm2 of surface area, and the ones on the sides are angled slightly toward the back to direct warm air away from your mousing hand.

SELF-CLEANING COOLING SYSTEM

Keeping the heatsinks free of debris is critical to maintaining optimal thermal dissipation, so our engineers designed a special anti-dust tunnel that catches and channels particles outside the chassis to prevent them from collecting on the fins. This self-cleaning system helps ensure consistent cooling performance, which improves long-term stability and reliability.

MORE BLADES INCREASE AIRFLOW

Slim chassis leave little room for cooling, so we enhance every aspect of the n-Blade fans to maximize airflow. The carefully shaped aluminum intake shrouds use curved edges and raised guides to help the fans draw in more air. Once inside, it’s blasted toward the heatsinks by liquid-crystal-polymer blades that are 33% thinner than conventional designs yet still strong enough to spin at high RPMs. The Zephyrus S matches our highest blade density with 83 per fan, improving airflow by up to 15%.

AAS BREATHES DEEPER

Slim chassis leave limited space for airflow, which can compromise performance for marathon gaming sessions, so our innovative Active Aerodynamic System opens a 5mm vent that helps increase airflow by 22%. Dual 12V fans draw cool air in from the expanding intake in the base and from vents perforating the panel above the keyboard. Exhaust is pumped through four outlets in the edges of the chassis, each one shaped to separate warm outflow from the layer of cool air flowing into the AAS.

THE RIGHT MODE FOR THE MOMENT

Gaming laptops are versatile enough to tackle a range of tasks, but requirements vary wildly, so Intelligent Cooling adapts accordingly. It automatically switches between operating modes that optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Balanced mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment.

KEYBOARD

CUSTOMIZE AND COORDINATE COLORS

The forward keyboard position lowers surface temperatures on the desktop-style layout, so you can game in comfort for hours. Customize per-key RGB backlighting for different games and workflows, and match colors and effects with compatible peripherals using Aura Sync. Illumination extends to a unique volume roller positioned for quick adjustment and a glowing numpad that appears on the touchpad.

VIRTUAL SURROUND SOUND

Clever software lets Zephyrus S simulate surround-sound environments for stereo headsets, putting you right in the middle of the action. This versatile capability works with not only analog cans, but also USB and VR headsets that typically don’t work with virtual surround sound.

SONIC STUDIO III

Surround virtualization is one of several audio effects available through Sonic Studio III, which also lets you tune the output manually. It’s loaded with features for streaming and recording, including automatic volume stabilization for your voice, plus noise and echo cancelation that filter out unwanted background sounds.

USB PD

TAP INTO TYPE-C CHARGING

USB Power Delivery supports secondary charging from portable power packs, so you don't have to fight for a socket when the battery gets low. Fast-charging support reverses the direction, using up to 3A to quickly rejuvenate smartphones and other devices. If you’re not loading the CPU or discrete GPU with intensive tasks, you can use a smaller adapter up to 65W that lightens your load on the road.
