The WASD keys have a white border, adding a subtle effect when combined with the RBG lighting. The four extra keys provide volume control, a mute button for the mic, and a button to launch the ROG Gaming Center program (more on that in a bit). The Zephyrus M packs a full-size RGB keyboard with four lighting zones, with four shortcut keys just above it the left. In addition to better airflow, it lifts the keyboard up into a more ergonomically satisfying position.
As I previously touched on, when the top is open the bottom of the laptop separates to create a gap for air to flow into, helping to keep the CPU and GPU cool. When opening the lid, the two hinges provide a substantial amount of resistance and keep the screen in place very securely. A “Plasma Copper” band runs around the perimeter, but it looks more rose gold or light gold to my eyes, depending on the light in the room. The Zephyrus M is all black with a brushed metal chassis. Dimensions: 15.1 x 10.3 x 0.8-inches (WxDxH)ĪSUS ROG Zephyrus M - Design and Features.Connectivity: 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0.Ports: 1 x 3.5 mm audio jack, 4 x USB 3.1 port, 1 x HDMI, 1 x USB Type C with Thunderbolt.Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 1070 (8GB GDDR5).Processor: Intel Core i7-8750H at 2.2GHz (9M Cache, up to 4.10 GHz).Here are the specifications of the ROG Zephyrus M I am evaluating: The main upgrade to the hardware is Intel's new "Coffee Lake" six-core CPU, and other than that it's still packed with a laundry list of high-end components. It's a clever design, so I'm glad they stuck with it. Most notably, the touchpad is back to where people expect it to be, and it still has the company’s fancy Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) cooling mechanism whereby the bottom of the laptop opens up when the lid is swung open, allowing air to flow into the chassis. Asus has thus taken the machine back to the drawing board and released a redesigned model dubbed the Zephyrus M (See it on Amazon) with some new parts.
Though this is a creative way to keep the laptop cool, it was awkward to use and made a USB mouse mandatory. Instead of putting the touchpad below the keyboard it was moved to the right side, shifting the keyboard to the bottom of the laptop to make room for a unique cooling system between the keyboard and the screen. Not long ago I had the chance to take a look at the Asus ROG Zephyrus gaming laptop, which features a pretty unique design.
