ROG Zephyrus GX701GXR Gets More Powerful Thanks to the 9th Intel Processor
GAMEFINITY.ID, Jakarta – Gaming laptops have evolved. The first generation comes with hardware configurations, performance, and features that are not much different from premium class laptops in their time. These three factors then became the main focus of gaming laptop manufacturers to develop their products. In the following year, the evolution of gaming laptops focused on performance and features through unique hardware configurations that can’t be found in even premium class consumer laptops.
The increasing trend of mobility as a modern lifestyle makes gaming laptops now experience the next evolution. Previously, gaming laptop manufacturers didn’t really care about the shape of gaming laptops, which were on average large and heavy. This is usually done in order to compensate for the cooling system because the embedded hardware is getting louder and produces stronger heat. The evolution of gaming laptops that is currently happening is in the dimensions of the body that is carried. Gaming laptop manufacturers are now more focused on developing gaming laptops with more compact and thinner dimensions. Of course, the latest technological developments and innovations make gaming laptops appear very thin today.
Among gaming laptops with a compact and thin body, ASUS managed to become the leader with the presence of the ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR which is the thinnest gaming laptop in the world. Now the gaming laptop is even powered by the latest 9th generation Intel Core processor. Not only that, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is also equipped with various exclusive features and best-in-class hardware configurations.
The World’s Most Compact 17-inch Gaming Laptop is the official title that belongs to the Zephyrus S GX701GXR. Until now, there is no gaming laptop that has a more compact and thinner body than this gaming laptop from ASUS. In addition to being thin and compact, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is also equipped with a variety of special features designed to provide a better gaming experience. The following are the features and technologies carried by ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR.
The first technology is Super Narrow Display which makes the bezels on the ROG Zephyrus GX701GXR screen appear very thin. No kidding, the bezel size is only 6.9mm so this gaming laptop manages to come up with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 81 percent. The very thin bezel also makes the ROG Zephyrus S body appear more compact than gaming laptops in its class. Despite carrying a 17-inch screen, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR has a body dimension of 399 × 272 millimeters or about 23 percent smaller than most other 17-inch gaming laptops on the market today.
Super Narrow Display not only makes the ROG Zephyrus GX701GXR body more compact but also more comfortable and attractive when used. Because the bezel is very thin, this gaming laptop seems to come with a wider screen so as to maximize the overall visual experience.
ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is a high-end gaming laptop equipped with various components that perform super fast. In order for its performance to remain stable, it takes a special cooling system that is able to maintain the temperature of all components inside this laptop. Bringing a cooling system for high-performance components housed in a super-compact and thin laptop body is not an easy challenge. However, the research and development team at ASUS managed to overcome this challenge by presenting a cooling technology called Active Aerodynamic System (AAS).
The AAS in ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR has a very unique mechanism. The underbody of this gaming laptop will open automatically when used or the screen is lifted. With this mechanism, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR has an extra air cavity that makes the cooling system run more optimally.
The AAS cooling system is supported by features such as Anti-Dust Cooling, as well as special components, namely a 12V fan with 83 blades each, a heatsink with 250 fins, and 5 special heatpipes. Not only that, the AAS cooling system also contributes to making ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR the world’s thinnest 17-inch gaming laptop.
The screen is one of the plus points of ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR. If gaming laptops always prioritize refresh rates and response times and ignore color quality, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR can actually present everything perfectly.
This gaming laptop uses a panel with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and a response time of 3ms (grey-to-grey), which is the standard in the professional eSports industry. Not only that, the panel that is carried also has a high level of color accuracy and has been supported by ProArt TruColor Technology plus this laptop screen has been calibrated from the start and has a Pantone Validated Display certification.
The use of this screen makes ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR not only ideal for gamers who want a high-performance laptop with the best screen. Graphic professionals and content creators can even use this laptop as a device to support their work.
ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is a gaming laptop equipped with G-Sync, which is technology from NVIDIA so that stuttering and tearing effects do not appear when playing games. Unfortunately, this technology requires the NVIDIA GeForce graphics chip embedded in this laptop to stay active, so it consumes extra battery power even when not used to play games.
To overcome this problem, ASUS presents a feature called GPU Switch which allows the G-Sync feature to be turned off and users can take advantage of the Intel HD Graphics integrated graphics chip which is more energy efficient when using this laptop without being connected to a power source. Amazingly, this feature allows G-Sync to be turned off and on without having to reboot.
The keyboard is the main control device in a gaming laptop. That’s why ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is equipped with a special keyboard with features that can enhance the playing experience. In addition to appearing with a special layout for playing games, this gaming laptop keyboard also uses buttons that are equipped with anti-ghosting features via N-Key Rollover technology. Not to forget the Per-Key RGB Lighting feature so that users of this laptop can choose the backlit color on each keyboard key. Because it is supported by AURA RGB, the RGB Backlit feature on this laptop is capable of displaying a large number of color combinations and has been equipped with display presets such as Static, Strobing, Breathing, Rainbow, and Comet.
Not a gaming laptop if it is not equipped with a dedicated audio system. In order for users to get the best gaming experience, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR has been equipped with a special audio system powered by Smart Amplifier technology so that the sound produced can be louder and more detailed.
Smart Amplifier allows the sound produced to be 2.5 times louder, capable of producing 1.6 times louder bass sound, and has a dynamic range of 1.5 times better. The audio system on the ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR also supports 7.1 Surround Audio and has Hi-Res Audio certification. Especially for ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR, there is a feature in the form of a Volume Wheel that can be used to control the volume directly while playing games. So users no longer need to use key combinations on the keyboard to control the volume in the middle of a game.
ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR comes with a USB Type-C port which can not only be used as a high-speed data transfer facility, but can also be used to charge this laptop battery. This is because ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is equipped with a USB Type-C Power Delivery feature which also supports fast charging technology. Using a 60W USB Type-C adapter, the battery in ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR can be charged to 100 percent capacity in just 150 minutes. USB Type-C Power Delivery support also allows this laptop battery to be charged using a power bank like ZenPower Pro.
A gaming laptop must also have complete connectivity so that users can connect
various gaming devices and accessories. ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR itself has been equipped with USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C ports, HDMI, and audio ports. As for wireless connectivity, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is equipped with WiFi 802.11ac (2×2) and Bluetooth 5.0. Talking about the camera, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is not equipped with an internal webcam. This gaming laptop webcam is provided separately, but has a much better quality than standard webcams that are usually found on other gaming laptops. The ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR webcam supports 60fps recording in Full HD resolution and has been equipped with a special mount so that it can be mounted on a tripod.
ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR also comes with Armory Crate, an application that functions as a control center for various features on this gaming laptop. Through Armory Crate, users can adjust the RGB Backlit display so that it can look different from other laptops. In addition, there are also controls for the audio system and visual display on the screen. The most interesting thing is that the Armory Crate on the ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR can be used to control the performance of this gaming laptop. Users can even adjust the performance output manually or through the presets that have been provided.
As previously mentioned, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is a premium gaming laptop equipped with the best hardware in its class. This laptop uses an Intel Core i7-9750H processor which has a configuration of 6 cores and 12 threads with a processing speed of up to 4.5GHz.
This processor is ideally used to support the activities of content creators who often use video or photo editing applications which on average require many cores and threads to run optimally. Benchmark results using Cinebench R15 also show this processor is capable of producing scores of up to 1200 points, higher than the previous generation Intel Core processors.
Not only from the processor side, ROG Zephyrus S GX701GXR is also very powerful in terms of graphics processing. Although thin, slim, and light, this gaming laptop is powered by the premium NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics chip. The graphics chip supports the latest graphics technology, one of which is real-time ray-tracing, which allows for a more realistic visual appearance in the game.
