Asus ROG Zephyrus S (GX701GX)

Overview

Sure, there are things to nitpick such as the selection of ports, fan control, maintenance options and input devices. Nevertheless, we were still pleasantly surprised by the 17-inch notebook. Users can get excited, not only about the color-accurate 144 Hz panel but also, about one of the fastest implementations of the RTX 2080 Max-Q on the market.
