ASUS-ROG-Zephyrus-S-GX531

ASUS has just announced a refresh to their ultra-thin gaming laptop line. The new ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX531 still comes with a powerful punch, but with a slimmer and more portable design.

Sporting NVIDIA’s Max-Q design, the new ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX531 has tons of new and powerful hardware crammed inside its sleek body. ASUS claims that this new machine is 12% thinner from the first model.

Another key improvement is its new Active Aerodynamic System (AAS). This new cooling system shrinks the cooling pipes, adds a fourth thermal exhaust, and uses a new Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) material for its 83-blade fans.

ASUS also upgraded the 15.6-inch 120Hz screen to faster 144Hz refresh rate. It also has thinner bezels for a more seamless look.

And to drive that display, you can get the new ROG Zephyrus S with either an NVIDIA GTX1060 or an NVIDIA GTX1070. Both configurations will come with an Intel 8th-generation Core i7 processor.
