  • Asus ROG Zephyrus M Review 


Features :

The PC includes Intel's eighth era CPU and Nvidia designs 

Gaming execution is incredible and the PC doesn't overheat 

The best end adaptation is valued at Rs. 1,99,990 

Two or three months prior, we tried the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RF which ended up being a decent alternative for anybody taking a gander at a really compact top of the line gaming workstation. At the time, we said that the Asus Zephyrus M was conceivably its greatest rival. Since the last is really accessible in India, we have it in for a test. 

The Zephyrus M, or GM501GS, acquires a portion of the plan standards of the lead Zephyrus GX501, which settles on it an exceptionally fascinating decision in the top of the line fragment. Asus is at present offering two variations of it in India, of which we have the higher end one that contends specifically with MSI's putting forth. How about we perceive how it looks at to the Stealth Thin, and whether Asus has figured out how to get the evaluating right. 

Asus ROG Zephyrus M outline 

The principal thing that strikes you when you remove this workstation from its container is the solid outline. The Zephyrus M resembles a major square of metal and has the weight to run with as well. At 2.45kg, it feels somewhat substantial, yet at the same time not to the point where it's awkward. Gratefully, it quantifies only 17.5mm in thickness so it effortlessly fits into the workstation compartments of generally knapsacks. The charger is genuinely minimal as well, so in general, it shouldn't possess excessively space in your pack. 

The metal body makes this PC unfathomably durable and there's an extremely slick double tone brushed metal complete on the cover alongside an illuminated ROG logo. The external edge of the base likewise has a copper-shaded chamfered edge, which gives the workstation a top notch look.

Nonetheless, the coolest component just introduces itself once you open the top. The base back of the PC opens up to shape a monster air vent. This likewise gives the suspension a slight grade, bringing about a superior plot for composing. The vent is utilized to expand air consumption, so the fans don't need to work additional time endeavoring to cool the segments. It's a basic yet splendid plan to tackle the greatest issue with thin gaming workstations, which is fan commotion. Asus has tossed in two red LEDs on either end also, adding to the cool factor, yet these can be turned off if necessary. 

The double pivot configuration completes a great job at holding the cover consistent in practically any position. We could have utilized more slender fringes around the show however that is not a dealbreaker at all. The webcam sits in the right place on the best, and underneath the screen, we have another chrome ROG logo. The 15.6-inch full-HD show has a matte complete and great brilliance. Hues and review points are great as well, because of the IPS board. It likewise underpins a 144Hz revive rate, 3ms reaction time (dim to dark), and Nvidia's G-SYNC. The last is a component that is missing in MSI's putting forth. 

Asus Zephyrus M ports Asus 

The Zephyrus M has a full-sized chiclet-style console, finish with a numerical cushion. We found the dispersing between the keys to be great and the heading keys are assembled independently from the rest. Key travel is agreeable and they aren't uproarious by any means, which is great when utilizing this PC in a very place, for example, an office, or when gaming during the evening. There are devoted catches over the console for volume alteration, quieting the mouthpiece, and propelling Asus' ROG Gaming Center program. 

The trackpad isn't especially huge yet it is wide. The following is staggeringly smooth and exact, and this is effectively outstanding amongst other we've gone over on a Windows workstation. Tragically, you don't get singular left and right mouse catches, which is baffling for a gaming workstation. 

You get a decent determination of ports, including one HDMI, three USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, a Type-C Thunderbolt 3 port, and an earphones and mouthpiece combo 3.5mm attachment. The power bay is set on the right, just past the fumes vent, which isn't the best place as the power rope has a tendency to get an immediate impact of the hot air. 

The status LEDs for control, battery charging and hard drive action are put at the edge, over the keys, and are unmistakable notwithstanding when the top is shut. In the crate, you get a 230W power connector and that is practically it. 

Asus ROG Zephyrus M determinations and highlights 

As we expressed before, Asus sent us the best end variation. It ships with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 illustrations card with 8GB of GDDR5 video RAM. In any case, shockingly Asus has not utilized Nvidia's Max-Q improvements. This implies you don't need to trade off on clock speeds. The CPU utilized here is a hexa-center Intel Core i7-8750H and with it, you get a solitary 16GB stick of DDR4 (2,666MHz) RAM, which can be extended up to 32GB. 

For capacity, you get a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD, alongside a 1TB Seagate FireCuda (5400rpm) mechanical hard drive, which has its own particular blaze memory reserve for better execution contrasted with a standard mechanical drive. Like most thin PCs, there's no fast discharge bring forth on the base for swapping out segments. 

Asus Zephyrus M console AsusThe console on the ROG Zephyrus M includes a four-zone lighting framework 

Different details incorporate double band Wi-Fi 802.11ac with 2x2 MIMO radio wires, Bluetooth 5, two base terminating 3.5W speakers, and a 4-cell 55WHr battery. The Zephyrus M ships with Windows 10 Home and some outsider applications including a preliminary variant of McAfee LiveSafe security application, alongside Asus' very own significant number projects. There's ROG GameVisual for changing the show's shading profile; Sonic Radar 3, which gives you a chance to utilize a visual overlay to speak to adversary fire in good recreations; Sonic Studio 3, which gives you a chance to change and set sound inclinations for individual applications; and Aura for altering the lighting of the console. The keys on the console don't have per-key RGB lighting yet there are four customisable zones.

The majority of the above Asus applications can be propelled through the ROG Gaming Center programming. The program has a pointless confounded outline, which makes it intense to discover what you're searching for at first. It demonstrates to you the CPU and GPU temperatures and rates, and also the hard drive and RAM use. You can set alternate routes to dispatch up to three applications with custom lighting, fan profiles, show shading profiles, and so on. You can likewise screen the framework state through the ROG Gaming Center application, for Android and iOS. In any case, the plan is somewhat awkward, and the content and illustrations don't generally arrange legitimately.

Asus likewise gives you the choice to switch between G-SYNC and Optimus, which is mindful. Both are Nvidia's advancements yet because of the way they work, can't be empowered together. G-SYNC synchronizes your show's invigorate rate with the framerate that the GPU is pushing out, in this way dodging stammer and screen tearing. In any case, for this to work, the show needs an immediate association with the discrete GPU. 

For Nvidia's Optimus innovation, the show is associated with the CPU's incorporated GPU, which is the way the discrete card can be shut down when not required, therefore enhancing battery life. With the Zephyrus M, there are two physical association with the individual GPUs and a framework reboot is required when exchanging between modes. 

Asus ROG Zephyrus M execution and battery life 


We utilized the Zephyrus M in G-SYNC and Optimus modes irregularly, and of course, it runs a considerable measure cooler and calmer in Optimus mode. Since the discrete GPU is lethargic more often than not, the fans don't have to work too hard, yet in G-SYNC mode, you can hear them turning delicately notwithstanding when you aren't running any substantial applications. Start up an amusement in either mode however, and the fans start to seem like small scale turbines. In spite of having an extensive air vent at the base, they need to work really difficult to keep things cool, which makes them very uproarious.

General execution is great. We didn't experience any difficulty with juggling between different open applications, and even asset swines like Chrome ran fine and dandy with in excess of 15 tabs open on the double. It doesn't bring long to boot into Windows either, and errands like video encoding and 3D rendering are smart on account of the multi-strung, six-center CPU. Memory data transfer capacity could have been something more, had Asus utilized two 8GB RAM sticks rather than a solitary 16GB stick. 

The Zephyrus M conveys great gaming execution, and on account of the standard GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, we figured out how to show signs of improvement scores by and large when contrasted with the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin. Other than manufactured tests, the workstation additionally conveys great execution in certifiable gameplay. We handicapped G-SYNC amid benchmarking to maintain a strategic distance from any bottlenecks, however amid real gameplay, had it empowered. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, we arrived at the midpoint of around 63.43fps in the in-diversion benchmark with every one of the settings maximized. 

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a burdening amusement however the Zephyrus M figured out how to normal near 40fps with the Ultra preset, and with against associating set to 2x MSAA. We had comparative outcomes with Metro: Last Light, in which we got 63fps by and large with the illustrations set to Very High and decoration set to Normal. 


Asus ROG Zephyrus fate ndtvgc1 AsusThe ROG Zephyrus M found the middle value of around 73fps in Doom 


Fate was cakewalk for the PC, and with the Ultra preset, we arrived at the midpoint of 73fps amid genuine gameplay. In GTA V, we got 63fps by and large with every one of the illustrations quality sliders pushed to the maximum.
