Asus ROG Zephyrus review: great at gaming, but not much else
What if your gaming laptop just looked like a laptop? That was the promise of Nvidia’s Max-Q tech that the company announced earlier this year — a new specification that could put the company’s most powerful GPUs into laptops that were just as thin, light, and quiet as a regular machine.
The $2,699 Asus ROG Zephyrus is one of the first Max-Q designed laptops to come out, and it only partially succeeds. Taken as a gaming laptop, the Zephryus is one of the thinnest and most powerful options around, and marks a real step forward for the style of laptop. But while the Zephyrus may look like a regular computer on the outside, it still isn’t good enough to function for most things that aren’t gaming.
Asus has done a great job…
