Engadget Review
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus is unlike any gaming laptop we’ve seen before. It’s thin, yet also incredible powerful. While its battery life suffers because of that, it’s also a machine that could take the place of many gaming devices.
It's incredibly thin, but it lays claim to the most powerful notebook graphics.
