Asus ROG Zephyrus S (GX531)

Slim Yet Mighty

After redefining ultra-slim gaming laptops with the original Zephyrus, ROG brings hardcore gaming to an even thinner design framed by super-narrow bezels. ROG Zephyrus S uses innovative engineering to cool its GeForce RTX™ 2080 with Max-Q design and 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor, so you can immerse yourself in its no-compromise 144Hz/3ms display.

The new standard for ultraportable gaming

Clever design and expert craftsmanship are required to put high-end chips into the slimmest gaming laptop ever. At just 15.35~16.15mm thin with a GeForce RTX™ 2080 with Max-Q design GPU and the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor, ROG Zephyrus S is portable but powerful enough for life on the go. In one fluid motion of hidden scissor-door hinges, it transforms from svelte sidekick to gaming powerhouse.

SHRINKING BEZELS WITHOUT SACRIFICING SPEED

Super-narrow bezels draw you deeper into the action on the 144Hz IPS-level display. The high refresh rate makes gameplay smoother and lowers input lag, while the 3ms gray-to-gray response time produces sharper visuals with no blurring. With the full sRGB color gamut and wide viewing angles, ROG Zephyrus S blends speed and beauty without compromise.

• Actual specifications may vary depending on the configuration.

Potent performance rivals desktops

Don’t be fooled by its lithe body; ROG Zephyrus S has ample power for AAA games, VR experiences, and serious creative work. The six-core 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 CPU and GeForce RTX™ 2080 with Max-Q design GPU deliver desktop-like performance, while an NVMe SSD up to 1TB offers speedy storage for your growing game library and professional portfolio.

Cool under pressure

The unique ROG Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) expands to help Zephyrus S sustain high GPU clocks with demanding games. Lifting the lid opens a 5-mm intake that increases airflow by up to 22% compared to traditional designs. Anti-dust tunnels keep the four heatsinks clean to preserve cooling performance and system stability as the hours add up.

Military-grade toughness

ROG Zephyrus S passes stringent internal quality tests, including surviving multiple drops from a height of 76cm, so it’s tough enough to handle day-to-day hazards. It also meets demanding MIL-STD-810G standards for enduring vibration, shock, altitude, and extreme environmental conditions that would leave lesser laptops begging for mercy.

Aura Sync beyond the gaming keyboard

The keyboard ensures precise input in the heat of battle, and it’s built to last. You can customize the backlight colors and effects to suit your style, and another configurable RGB zone illuminates the AAS intake at the back. Aura Sync harmonizes lighting across compatible ROG mice, headsets, and other peripherals to give your setup a cohesive look.

Amp up your audio

ROG Zephyrus S puts audio at the forefront with dual speakers aimed right at you. Smart amplifier tech keeps them within thermal and excursion limits, so you can pump up the volume without harming the cones. The resulting output is louder, with more bass and range that help you hear every sound, and you can plug in a headset for even more immersion.

Unified system tuning and personalization

ROG Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting control to put essentials at your fingertips in a single utility. You can easily change settings for both and define up to four game profiles that automatically make adjustments when you launch your favorite titles. These options are just the beginning for what will become an even more versatile tool.

Tap into Type-C charging*

USB Power Delivery lets ROG Zephyrus S charge from portable power packs, so you don't have to fight for a socket when the battery gets low. Fast-charging support reverses the direction, using up to 3A to quickly rejuvenate smartphones and other devices. You can also do everyday work with a smaller 65W adapter that lightens your load on the road. *USB Power Delivery is supported only on the GX531GX, GX531GW, GX531GV and GX531GM. Power pack and 65W adapter sold separately.

*Charging time is based on laptop at idle.

*Unless otherwise stated, performance figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.

ROG Zephyrus S has all the connectivity needed for gaming on the go. Type-C (USB-C) ports are available at USB 3.1 Gen 2 and Gen 1 speeds, while Type-A USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB 2.0 ports are perfect for a gamepad and mouse. HDMI 2.0b at the back supports 4K UHD displays up to 60Hz, so you can game and entertain on big-screen TVs.
