In addition to the 16-inch ROG Zephyrus M16 laptop, ASUS has unveiled the flagship Zephyrus S17 gaming laptop. It boasts uncompromising hardware and is capable of satisfying any user request for a high-end gaming machine.

Outstanding performance is provided by the latest Intel Core i10-9H 11900nm Tiger Lake-H processor. The chip works in conjunction with the equally impressive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card with a TDP level of up to 140 W. To maintain a consistently high level of performance under extended loads, the most efficient cooling system is essential. That is why liquid metal is used as a thermal interface to remove heat from the CPU and GPU.

In addition, the laptop can carry up to three solid state drives. The PCIe Gen 4 interface is supported, and it is also possible to combine drives into a RAID0 array. The amount of DDR4-3200 standard RAM can be up to 48 GB.

As for the screen, the Zephyrus S17 has two options to choose from: a 17,3-inch panel with QHD resolution and a refresh rate of 165 Hz, or a 4K panel with the same diagonal and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Both displays boast 3 millisecond response times, 3% DCI-PXNUMX color space coverage and Dolby Vision support.

The acoustics of the laptop are also noteworthy. The Zephyrus S17 uses six full-range speakers, complemented by two subwoofers. Declared support for Dolby Atmos. An array of microphones with high-quality noise cancellation ensures that the voice of the user, even in noisy environments, is clearly heard by the interlocutor.

The device is made in a rather compact design for laptops of this class. The thickness of the novelty is only 19,9 mm and weighs 2,6 kg. The laptop screen is surrounded by rather thin bezels, and the keyboard can be tilted to provide the best experience when playing or typing. It also provides additional airflow to the cooling system. The keys feature fast response mechanical switches and RGB backlighting.

Zephyrus S17 is equipped with two USB Type-C ports with support for Display Port 1.4 and Power Delivery 3.0. One of them supports Thunderbolt 4. It also boasts two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A form factors, SD card slot, HDMI 2.0b port, 3,5mm audio jack and RJ45. The battery with a capacity of 90 Wh with support for fast charging is used as a power source.
