The ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 is a revolutionary gaming laptop born from ROG's persistent dedication to innovation. Despite being only 0.7” thin, it has the hardware to rival high-end gaming desktops: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics with Max-Q design and an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (up to 3.9GHz). The 8th-Generation Zephyrus comes equipped with an industry-leading 144Hz IPS-Type AHVA G-SYNC display with a blazing-fast 3ms response time, 16GB of DDR4 2666MHz, and a 512GB PCIe NVMe Hyperdrive SSD (up to 3,478 MB/s sequential read rate). Connectivity includes: Gigabit Wave 2 WiFi. Up to 1.73Gbps with 2X2 802.11ac, Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort 1.2 over USB Type C.
ROG Zephyrus' IPS-Type display has a 144Hz refresh rate that lets you enjoy exceptionally smooth gaming at a true 144 frames per second, plus an ultra-fast 3ms response time that reduces blurring with rapid motion. Everything looks and feels fluid, especially fast-paced games. With wide viewing angles and 100% sRGB gamut coverage, the panel also produces outstanding colors. G-SYNC synchronizes the display's frame rates with the GPU's output to eliminate ghosting and screen tearing.
Enjoy a vast leap in gaming and productivity performance with Intel’s first mobile Core i7 processor with 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of up to 3.8GHz on all 6 cores. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics let the machine go toe-to-toe with the most hardcore gaming PCs.
ROG Zephyrus features an extraordinary 512GB HyperDrive SSD based on the latest NVM Express (NVMe) and PCI Express technologies. With sequential read speeds of 3478MB/s, the M.2 drive loads games, apps, and other data at warp speed. Its copious capacity has ample storage for everything you need.
ROG slimmed the body to a mere 16.9-17.9mm while maintaining powerful cooling and unbeatable acoustic efficiency thanks to a clever new air-flow design: Active Aerodynamic System that opens an air vent when the chassis is opened. This makes the ROG Zephyrus the slimmest laptop with a GeForce GTX 1080.
ROG Zephyrus’ keyboard is positioned at the front of the chassis to allow better cooling for the internal components and offer a more comfortable, familiar position for gamers' accustomed to desktop keyboards. The 8th-Gen Zephyrus features AURA SYNC, allowing you to synchronize RGB lighting effects across your other AURA SYNC enabled devices.
+20% Airflow Space. +32% System Airflow. -20% System Temps
When the laptop is opened, a portion of the bottom flexes to create 20% more open space for air circulation. Along with our unique AeroAccelerator technology, this gap improves airflow by 32% and reduces temperatures by 20% compared to conventional cooling.
Zephyrus is equipped with the latest DDR4 memory that’s clocked at a blazing-fast 2666MHz.
Featuring the latest connectivity, including HDMI 2.0, and USB 3.1 Type C, and Thunderbolt over USB Type C.
The next generation of WiFi is here. Intel Wireless-AC 9260 is the first Intel WiFi module that provides Gigabit WiFi speeds up to 1.7Gbps.
ROG Zephyrus uses SmartAmp technology to boost audio output by up to 80% over the previous generation.
For more than a decade, ROG has channeled its passion for gaming into building innovative products and working closely with esports teams to ensure they have the right tools to pursue victory.
