Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502

 

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 is one of the slimmest, most versatile gaming laptops you can buy. With support for both G-Sync and Optimus, it's a high-power rig for play and a decent-battery one for productivity tasks.

Slim design with full-throttle GeForce RTX graphics. Optimus graphics mode greatly increases versatility. 240Hz G-Sync display. Narrow screen bezels. Keyboard back where it belongs. Per-key RGB keyboard backlighting.

Cooling fans get loud under load. Real-world gaming performance mostly in Max-Q range. No webcam.

Bottom Line: The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 is one of the slimmest, most versatile gaming laptops you can buy. With support for both G-Sync and Optimus, it's a high-power rig for play and a decent-battery one for productivity tasks.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX502 review – comes to shine in a world of Razer Blades and MSI GS65 Stealths

 

ASUS' ROG Zephyrus line-up is all-in thin and light gaming solutions. It was exactly the Zephyrus GX501 that started the niche of gaming ultrabooks. Now, the market is populated with the like…

Magnesium-alloy to keep the profile thin and the weight – low;Packs a killer hardware in a sleek chassis;Butter smooth 144Hz display and optional 240Hz one;Per-key RGB backlight;Great stereo speakers

Uncomfortable keyboard for gaming;Lacks Thunderbolt support;Goes pretty warm during gaming

Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 Review | Trusted Reviews

 

One of the best gaming laptops out there right now

Excellent gaming performance ; Lightweight and compact ; Clever design ; Plenty of ports ; Subtle, subdued RGB lights

Noisy, even in ‘silent’ mode ; Display doesn’t give you the promised sRGB coverage

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 is a portable powerhouse, boasting great gaming chops and incredible overall for non-gaming applications. In both style and performance, the GX502 straddles the gaming and productivity worlds nicely, while not necessarily...

Hands on: Hands on: Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 review

 

Asus's flagship gaming laptop (almost) goes back to basics

Much more palatable design ; Excellent performance ; Fast display refresh and response

No integrated webcam ; Could use more USB-C ports

Asus’s new, back-to-basics design for its flagship gaming laptop is much appreciated, rising in power level without compromising much on thinness and weight. However, cutting the integrated webcam is sure to annoy many fans, us included. All told, the...

ASUS ROG Zephyrus S15 Review: A great gaming notebook with a hefty price tag

 

The Zephyrus S15 is a markedly improved version of its 2019 predecessor - except its price tag.

Excellent portability for a 15-inch gaming notebook ; Slim and relatively light for its form factor ; Innovative Active Aerodynamic System ; One of the best Full-HD display around

That price tag ; Could do with an additional USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port ; Poor battery life

Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 Review: Thin Frame, Full RTX 2070

 

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 has a full-sized RTX 2070 in it that offers great performance, but it can get loud under load.

Thin design ; Clean durable build ; Great gaming performance

Loud fans ; RAM soldered down ; No webcam

The ROG Zephyrus S GX502 packs tons of power in as tight of a 15.6” package as possible, but at the detriment of cooling efficiency.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX502G Review: Stylishly Powerful - UNBOX PH

 

A gaming notebook never looked better It's hard to make gaming notebooks look aesthetically pleasing to a large swath of the population, not just to PC gamers. ASUS and their ROG Zephyrus S GX502G is one of those few gaming notebooks that's designed so...

Thinner and lighter than your typical 15-inch gaming notebook ; Glacial Blue color is fire ; Incredibly powerful internals ; Full power RTX 2070 GPU

Expensive ; 240Hz display is overkill ; Fans are loud

ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX502GW review: You don't need Max-Q to make a slim laptop

 

The ROG Zephyrus S GX502GW is a slim and light laptop that doesn't sacrifice any performance to NVIDIA's Max-Q optimisations.

GeForce RTX 2070 Max-P in the body of a Max-Q notebook ; Slim, compact and modern design ; Great build quality ; 144Hz display with G-Sync support

Single-channel memory results in huge performance deficits while gaming ; Fans can get quite noisy ; Average battery life ; No Thunderbolt 3
