ASUS-Zephyrus-M

Today, ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced the Zephyrus M laptop, which is the thinnest gaming laptop to have an eighth generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics. The Zephyrus line is designed for gamers who want the power of a gaming desktop in the form factor of a relatively slim and lightweight laptop. The display is 15.6 inches, with full HD resolution (1980 x 1080) on an AHVA IPS-type panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response time. It’s also got on-board wide-view tech, which means colors stay true even from extreme angles. It weighs about 5.5 lbs and is 15.1 x 10.3 x 0.7~0.78 inches.

The $2199 model comes with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256 GB SSD, as well as a 1 TB SSHD. It also has an active aerodynamic system, which ensures that the laptop runs cool without sacrificing speed or performance. The system also runs quietly. As far as ports, it has 1 USB-C, 2 USB-3.1 Gen 1, 2 USB-3.1 Gen2, 1 HDMI 2.0 and 1 3.5-mm jack. It also has a built-in HD camera and mic, with a backlit keyboard. The battery is a 4-cell Li-ion 55WHrs, and the laptop has switchable GPU modes so the user can switch between G-SYNC or power-saving mode. You can see full specs of all the models here.
