ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX701 Review
DESIGN
The laptop has a brushed metal lid, mat black interior, and smooth colored edges. and whole solid metal and it felt extremely premium and well built.
SIZE AND WEIGHT
The size of the laptop is 39.9cm width, 27.2cm depth, and 1.87cm Height. So it’s quite slim for a 17-inch laptop. And the weight of the laptop is 2.7kg.
DISPLAY
It has 1080p 17.3 screens with a 144Hz refresh rate and the response time is 3ms. So excellent for gamers with the option of swapping to an optimum mode for improved battery life, the bezels are quite thin at just 6.9mm with a larger chin towards the bottom.
There was a little screen flex as the lid is on the thinner side, however as it’s solid metal it felt pretty sturdy, and this is aided by the hinges being out towards the corners.
No issue opening it up with one finger, with the battery up the front and cooling towards. There’s a problem using it on the lap because the keyboard is shifted to the front with the touchpad on the right-hand side. so it can be harder to type with the laptop while on your lap.
KEYBOARD
The keyboard has individual RGB backlighting capable of being control by Asus software. The keyboard is moved down to the front of the laptop with the touchpad on the right side instead of the traditional middle location.
Once you get used to the keyboard, it works pretty well.
SOUND
