Asus ROG Zephyrus M GM501GS-EI005T Gaming Laptop – Core i7 2.2GHz 16GB 1TB+256GB 8GB Win10 15.6inch FHD Black

A brushed aluminum finish with a Black Titanium and Plasma Copper color scheme give Zephyrus M a modern and sophisticated look that sets it apart from other gaming laptops. ROG engineers found the sweet spot for maximum cooling performance and effective thermal management. They’ve managed to shoehorn the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, AAS system, and two anti-dust fans into a thin 17.5-19.9mm chassis to ensure Zephyrus M offers exceptional performance during gaming marathons.

The cutting-edge AAS allows Zephyrus M to run cool and quiet without sacrificing performance. Opening the lid reveals an underside vent that leads to a 9mm-high air chamber. Compared to traditional laptop designs, the AAS creates 20% more space for air circulation, increases system air flow by up to 32%, and reduces internal temperatures by up to 20%. A four-quadrant anti-dust design prevents dust particles and dirt from entering the system when the lid is open; while the patented ADC system actively cleans itself by expelling dust particles and dirt through tunnels, preventing build-up in the thermal fins to increase system stability and lifespan. Two high-performance, dual-outlet fans blow air through ultraslim fins, while the unique heat-pipe architecture cools the CPU, GPU, and chipset power components independently.

In a perfect example of form following function, Zephyrus M has densely-packed cooling holes above the keyboard to help draw cool air into the system. These neatly-arranged holes above the keyboard are not only functional, but add a modern aesthetic touch to the laptop.

Zephyrus M brings gaming desktop-level performance to the gaming laptop scene. It’s powered by an Intel Core i7-8750H processor with 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz dual-channel memory, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics. The innovative AAS ensure additional cooling to cope with demanding gaming marathons. And to house your extensive game library, Zephyrus M features cutting-edge storage, including a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe® 3.0 x4 SSD and a 1TB Seagate® FireCuda SSHD.

With Zephyrus M, it’s no longer a trade-off between performance and battery life. It offers switchable GPU mode that lets you choose between the power-saving Optimus or the full-performance Discrete Graphics modes. Optimus mode turns off NVIDIA G-SYNC and lets you enjoy battery life up to 6 hours*; G-SYNC mode unleashes the graphics prowess of Zephyrus M for the best gaming experience ever. These two sides to Zephyrus M are easily-accessed in just a few clicks on the ROG Gaming Center dashboard.
