Overview

GO BIG. STAY SLIM.

ROG Zephyrus S set the standard for ultra-slim Windows 10 Pro gaming laptops. Now it has bigger aspirations with a super-narrow-bezel 17-inch display in a chassis just 18.7mm thin. Zephyrus S GX701 is loaded with up to a GeForce RTX 2080 GPU and 8th Gen IntelCore i7 CPU. Immerse in its 144Hz/3ms panel with Pantone-validated colors, and use the ROG-exclusive GPU switch to change between G-SYNC for gaming and Optimus for battery life.

DESIGN

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.

DISPLAY

SPECTACULAR VISUALS MIX SPEED AND PRECISION

Slender bezels draw you deeper into the action on the 144Hz IPS-level display. The high refresh rate makes gameplay smoother and lowers input lag, while the 3ms grey-to-grey response time produces sharper visuals with no blurring. Color accuracy is critical for content creators, so factory calibration and ProArt™ TruColor Technology deliver a Pantone® Validated palette.

• 144 HZ REFRESH RATE
• 3 MS RESPONSE TIME

Pantone® Color Validation

Precise colors are paramount for artists, designers, and other content creators who work and play on the same machine. That's why the display is carefully calibrated at the factory. ProArt™ TruColor Technology guarantees that each one meets stringent Pantone® Color Validation requirements for color accuracy.
