Republic of Gamers Announces Zephyrus

and NVIDIA® GeForce®
GTX 1080, with 120Hz Full HD G-SYNC display and Windows 10 Pro

KEY
POINTS

TAIPEI, Taiwan and FREMONT, Calif, May 30, 2017 — ASUS Republic
of Gamers (ROG) today announced the launch of the ROG Zephyrus, the
world’s slimmest gaming laptop powered by a 7th Generation Intel® Core™
i7 (Kaby Lake) processor and the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX
1080 graphics. The ROG Zephyrus features
the Windows 10 Creators Update, which improves the performance of PC games via the
all-new Windows Game Mode, and makes it easier to perform native game-streaming
with Beam, Microsoft’s streaming service.

The 15.6-inch ROG Zephyrus features an ultraslim
profile and incorporates the ROG-exclusive Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) — a
specially designed cooling system. It also features customizable ASUS Aura RGB
lighting effects and a super-fast 120Hz panel with wide-view technology, 100 percent
sRGB color gamut and NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ for breathtaking
gaming visuals.

The
world’s slimmest gaming laptop with unparalleled performance and features

The ROG Zephyrus is the result of persistent dedication to gaming innovation.
ROG aims to create laptops that are slimmer, cooler, quieter and more powerful
than ever before — to fully address the needs of today’s highly mobile gamers. The ROG Zephyrus has a blade-inspired design, resulting in an ultraslim
and sleek profile that tapers from 17.9mm down to just 16.9mm at its thinnest
point. Its compact dimensions make it the world’s thinnest gaming laptop powered
by the 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and the
latest NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics, delivering unstoppable
gaming performance. The incredible CPU and GPU combination allows the ROG Zephyrus to compete successfully
with larger devices and desktops

ROG-exclusive
design and cooling system

The ROG Zephyrus is cooled by an exclusive Active Aerodynamic System
(AAS) that runs cooler and quieter without sacrificing performance. AAS
incorporates unique AeroAccelerator (AA) technology that increases the speed
and efficiency of airflow through the laptop. The fan’s 3D-curved surface cover
and accelerator guides enhance airflow and move heat away from the components
more efficiently. When the ROG Zephyrus
is opened, a portion of the bottom of the chassis flexes to increase the airflow
volume by 20 percent and further increase air circulation. AAS maximizes system
stability as well as gaming and thermal performance, and it allows full
utilization of the CPU and GPU, so gamers can engage in marathon sessions without
fear of interruption.

Perfected
gaming keyboard with Aura RGB lighting, innovative touchpad with 10-key
functionality

The ROG Zephyrus features a keyboard positioned at the front of the
chassis — a design that allows better cooling of internal components while providing
a more comfortable and familiar experience for gamers accustomed to desktop
keyboards. ASUS Aura RGB lighting technology provides dynamic and customizable
lighting effects over the entire keyboard, as well as separately highlighted
customizable effects for the WASD and QWER key groups, allowing users to create
a gaming ambience that matches the feel of their game. Anti-ghosting keys
ensure commands are instantaneously and correctly interpreted — even when up to
30 keys are pressed simultaneously. The keys have been ergonomically designed
to provide optimum comfort and typing accuracy. The ROG Zephyrus positions the touchpad to the right of the keyboard
and also integrates a 10-key function that is easily activated by a hot key.
When activated, a red backlight illuminates the 10-key functionality.

Ultra-smooth
gaming visuals and versatile connectivity

The ROG Zephyrus is equipped with a 120Hz display that enables smooth
gaming at a true 120Hz frame rate. NVIDIA G-SYNC display technology
synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the NVIDIA GeForce graphics card’s
frame rate, ensuring ultrasmooth visuals. G-SYNC reduces lag, minimizes
perceived stutter, and eliminates visual tearing — providing the smoothest,
fastest and most breathtaking gaming imaginable, without affecting system
performance. Wide viewing angles and a 100 percent sRGB color gamut also allow the
panel to produce outstanding, lifelike colors from any angle. The laptop is
also equipped with a USB Type-C™ (USB-C™) port with Thunderbolt™ 3, allowing G-SYNC
and 4K UHD display output, fast data transfers and power delivery.
