WORLD’S SLIMMEST GAMING LAPTOP WITH NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX
1080
ROG Zephyrus is a revolutionary gaming laptop born from ROG’s persistent
dedication to innovation. Despite being thinner than all previous ROG laptops,
it has the hardware to rival high-end gaming desktops: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX
1080 graphics with Max-Q design, an 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor, a
144Hz IPS panel with an ultra-fast 3ms response time, and Windows 10 Pro. 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. The sleek chassis also includes an RGB keyboard that will
feel familiar to gamers who typically play on desktop PCs.
SLIM AND SLEEK
ROG Zephyrus takes thin-and-light gaming laptops to a whole new level. It has a
slim profile just 16.9–17.9mm thin and weighs only 2.2kg, but that doesn’t
stop it from packing the latest 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor and
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics with Max-Q design — an innovative
approach to designing the world’s thinnest, fastest, and quietest gaming
laptops. An innovative hinge and fan module help keep the high-end GPU cool,
resulting in a gaming laptop that’s portable enough to carry with you
anywhere yet potent enough to compete with powerful gaming desktops.
PLAY IT COOL
ROG Zephyrus is armed with an exclusive Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) that
breaks all the rules. AAS combines intelligent design with innovative
technologies to give gamers what they want: an ultra-slim laptop that runs
cooler and quieter without sacrificing performance. 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. You can
game for hours on end with impeccable stability and no throttling. ROG Zephyrus
offers the highest level of performance in the smallest chassis.
BREATHE DEEPLY
ROG-exclusive Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) includes several enhancements to
make the cooler more effective, improving internal airflow and allowing the fan
to spin slower and quieter while maintaining low temperatures. The patented
trapezoid-cut lets air flow freely from the rear exhaust vents, improving
thermal efficiency compared to standard laptop lids. We also adjusted the shape
of the intake to reduce noise levels further and make the acoustic profile less
obtrusive. Zephyrus runs cool enough to avoid throttling and quiet enough to
enjoy your game.
AURA SYNC FOR ULTIMATE PERSONALIZATION
Aura Sync technology gives you the freedom to customize and synchronize lighting
effects with compatible gaming mice, headsets, and other peripherals to give
your entire setup a consistent look and feel. With a full spectrum of colors to
choose from, as well as six different lighting modes that can be accessed via
the Aura control panel, Aura Sync technology lets you express your persona, or
the feel of the game you’re currently playing. 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. Aura RGB lighting lets you customize colors and dynamic
effects for the entire keyboard, and you can adjust the QWER and WASD clusters
separately to adapt to MOBA, FPS, and other games. Anti-ghosting tech ensures
your commands are interpreted instantly and correctly. The ergonomically
designed keys have 1.4mm of travel for greater comfort and accuracy when gaming
and typing. With an expected lifetime of 20 million presses, the keys offer
exceptional durability and reliability for heavy use.
ULTIMATE GAMING PERFORMANCE
ROG Zephyrus is all about bringing innovative technologies and incredible gaming
performance to an ultra-slim, portable, and stylish gaming laptop. The 8th Gen
Intel® Core™ i7 processor, and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics (Max-Q)
let the machine go toe-to-toe with the most hardcore gaming laptops — and
even high-end desktops. Break all the rules with a true game-changer.
3DMARK PERFORMANCE
In 3DMark 11 (Performance) graphics and Fire Strike benchmark tests, ROG
Zephyrus with NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 with Max-Q design delivered amazing
gaming performance.
ROG HYPERDRIVE FOR BLAZING-FAST STORAGE SPEEDS
ROG Zephyrus features an extraordinary 1TB HyperDrive SSD based on the latest
NVM Express™ (NVMe) and PCI Express® technologies. With ultra-fast access
times and blistering transfer rates, the M.2 drive loads games, apps, and other
data at warp speed. Its copious capacity has ample storage for everything
you need.
IMPECCABLE GAMING VISUALS
ROG Zephyrus’ IPS 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 regardless of where
you’re sitting.
SEAMLESS GAMEPLAY
NVIDIA G-SYNC™ technology synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the
GPU’s frame rate to make gameplay silky smooth. G-SYNC minimizes perceived
stuttering, reduces input lag, and eliminates visual tearing all without
affecting system performance. You get the smoothest, fastest, and most immersive
experience across a broad range of games.
ULTIMATE VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCES
Take the plunge into virtual reality. With NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics
(Max-Q), ROG Zephyrus delivers smooth, stutter-free VR performance with frame
rates exceeding 90FPS. Plug-and-play compatibility with leading VR headsets like
the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive let you easily enjoy fully immersive VR
environments. ROG Zephyrus is also certified by Microsoft for Windows Mixed
Reality Basic applications, so you can use it with the ASUS Windows Mixed
Reality headset. It’s time to explore a whole new world of games and
experiences.
EXTENSIVE CONNECTIVITY
ROG Zephyrus is jam-packed with the latest connectivity to give you blazing-fast
transfer rates and maximum compatibility. The USB Type-C™ port delivers up to
40Gbps to Thunderbolt™ devices — four times the bandwidth of USB 3.1 Gen
2 — while 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 and 2 USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports are ready for all
your existing gear. You can also run a large ROG gaming monitor with NVIDIA
G-SYNC™ via DisplayPort™ over Type-C™ USB or use HDMI 2.0 to connect 4K
TVs at 60Hz.
STREAMING-FRIENDLY FEATURES
ROG Zephyrus comes with a host of streaming-friendly features, so you can share
and broadcast your gaming sessions to friends or a larger audience. Sonic Studio
Perfect Voice stabilizes the overall volume of outgoing and incoming voice
communication while also reducing background noise. Casting Enhancer improves
your voice clarity during streaming and recording, and the laptop’s built-in
array microphone filters out ambient noise for even clearer vocal recording. To
power your broadcasts, ROG Zephyrus comes with a lifetime XSplit license. You
can use XSplit Gamecaster in ROG Gaming Center to record and broadcast sessions.
An in-game overlay allows easy streaming and recording — and lets you to make
in-game annotations to highlight what’s happening. You can also interact with
your audience while broadcasting on Twitch.
ROG GAMING CENTER
Access ROG Gaming Center without interrupting your game using the Android or iOS
app on your smartphone or tablet. They’re free to download from Google Play™
and the App Store! ROG Gaming Center gives you access to all the functions you
need on a single dashboard — find system information, configure AURA SYNC and
RGB lighting, adjust audio settings, or record gameplay. In addition, ROG
GameFirst technology optimizes network traffic for faster, lag-free online
gaming.
INCREDIBLY IMMERSIVE SOUND
ROG Zephyrus uses Smart Amp technology to boost audio output by up to 80% over
the previous generation. In most cases when pushing the volume to the limit,
speakers can break down easily because of excess heat and excursion. The
technology protects speakers by setting thermal and excursion thresholds, and
monitoring variations due to loading and temperature influence.
