Just a week after they launched their ROG Zephyrus M, dubbed the 'world's thinnest notebook' by them, today they have reverted to using the same label for their latest release: the ROG Zephyrus S, an even finer team. Apart from this, the ROG Scar II has also been launched with a more affordable price.

ROG Zephyrus S and ROG Scar II

This laptop will have two very high-performance options, which will feature a 6-core, 12-thread Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and NVMe SSDs. You can choose a GTX 1070 Max-Q with 1TB of NVMe SSDs or a 6GB GTX 1060 with 512GB of NVMe SSDs.

The new notebook reaches an extremely low thickness of 15.8mm in the thickest part and 15mm in the thinnest part. To cool such powerful equipment, there are four heatsinks inside with 5 heatpipes. However, we do not know if they will suffer from a large thermal throttling , the worst enemy of thin and powerful laptops, which basically reduces the performance of the computer when it is too hot.

The 15.6-inch screen at Full HD resolution also stands out for its IPS panel with 144Hz refresh rate and a respectable 3ms response time, taking into account the type of panel used.

The company has also announced the ROG Strix Scar II, with specifications identical to the Zephyrus S in its version of the GTX 1060, except for the use of a 1TB HDD and a 256GB PCIe SSD, a 17.3-inch screen and a non-design. so focused on the fine size. It is also much more affordable.
