Recently, Asus has once again introduced a super-thin ROG gaming masterpiece with extreme performance, just launched in the Vietnamese market, following the success of its predecessors known as the Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703.

Thin, light, and sophisticated design on a gaming laptop

My first impression of this laptop is its design; Asus has brought a Zephyrus S17 design that is not overly aggressive or “gamer-style,” but rather very thin, light, and sophisticated. The chassis is meticulously crafted from aluminum-magnesium alloy with a fingerprint-resistant matte black finish. The A-cover features the prominent Asus ROG logo along with a familiar diagonal cut that divides the back into two distinct parts, looking not too bulky but very refined and luxurious.

Sharp 4K display with 120Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut
The Zephyrus S17 GX703 screen features a Pantone-validated IPS panel with wide viewing angles, 4K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3ms response time for the smoothest gaming experience. Additionally, the Zephyrus S17 achieves 100% DCI-P3 color gamut combined with Asus’s ProArt TruColor technology. This uses a factory-level calibration process to achieve the highest color coverage, providing users with a vivid, clear, and most authentic color experience for movies and favorite games after intense working hours.

Powerful configuration to smoothly handle the heaviest games today
The most important aspect of most gaming laptops in general, and the Zephyrus S17 GX703 in particular, is the configuration. This year, the brand has equipped the Zephyrus S17 with an Intel Core i9-11900H 8C processor and up to 48GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, providing users with excellent processing capabilities for all tasks.

Adding power to this configuration is the PCIe® 4.0 SSD storage up to 3TB, featuring 3 M.2 PCIe SSD slots that support RAID 0, helping the S17’s data transfer and processing speeds become faster and more efficient, reaching up to 10,500MB/s.

A crucial point that every gamer cares about is the graphics card equipped in this masterpiece. The ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703 is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 discrete graphics card with 140W power and Dynamic Boost technology, helping you handle heavy graphics tasks and experience the latest blockbuster games with ease.

Smart cooling with advanced AAS+ active aerodynamics system
For a gaming laptop, one of the factors users care about most is cooling, especially in a thin and light “gaming beast” like the ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703.

Does a thinner laptop mean less space for effective cooling? This definition is “obsolete” for Asus, as the company has successfully applied the advanced active aerodynamics system (AAS Plus) to the Zephyrus S17. By lifting the keyboard 5 degrees and opening a 12mm air intake vent at the rear of the keyboard instead of drawing air from the bottom like usual, air intake is increased by up to 25%. Additionally, the brand uses Thermal Grizzly liquid metal thermal grease, which helps reduce the computer’s temperature by up to 10°C compared to conventional thermal pastes.

Durable optical mechanical keyboard with extremely fast response
Another highlight of this product that enhances the user experience and adds vibrant color to the dominant black tone of the Zephyrus S17 GX703 is the optical mechanical keyboard. This mechanical keyboard uses light sensors instead of metal contact like conventional mechanical switches, providing users with a better typing feel with an extremely fast response time of only 0.2ms, along with high durability of up to 100 million keystrokes.

In addition, the S17’s optical mechanical keyboard features per-key RGB backlighting along with unique Aura SYNC & Aura Creator technology, allowing you to easily adjust, customize, or synchronize colors on your mechanical keyboard.

The Multiwheel roller equipped by the manufacturer on the Zephyrus S17 can also be considered a very useful upgrade, helping users quickly perform frequently used tasks.

Vibrant sound with a top-tier 6-speaker system
For a gaming laptop, sound is also an indispensable factor that increases excitement when experiencing favorite games. Understanding this, Asus ROG always invests in the latest audio technologies for its masterpieces, such as Dolby Atmos surround sound which adds depth and directionality, helping you accurately identify the position and movement of enemies. Smart Amp boosts your volume, making footsteps sound clearer.

Additionally, it is equipped with a top-tier 6-speaker system with 2 tweeters and 4 woofers to increase volume and provide a more realistic 3D audio experience, minimizing echo and vibration.

AI-powered active noise cancellation

Another highlight of the Zephyrus S17 is the active noise cancellation capability for both speaking and listening. Specifically, when you speak, the AI noise cancellation mode helps process your audio, removing background noise before it is sent to the listener; conversely, the audio sent to you will be processed to remove noise before reaching your ears. This feature ensures stable online meetings with the best audio quality.

Battery life that meets daily usage needs

On a high-performance gaming laptop with a premium screen like the Zephyrus S17, battery life is something we all care about. The product is equipped by Asus with a 4-Cell Li-ion battery with 90Whrs capacity along with a 100W PD fast charging adapter, providing up to 8.5 hours of video playback and up to 6.8 hours of continuous web browsing, meeting your daily usage needs well.
