As NVIDIA just announced the brand new GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card this morning, we saw the announcement of the mobile version of the Turing-based GPUs also. ASUS ROG was also quick to announce that they have already updated the entire lineup of gaming laptops with GPUs ranging from RTX 2060 all the way up to RTX 2080.
What’s more is that ASUS ROG also announced a brand new gaming laptop as well – the Zephyrus S GX701. The new Zephyrus S GX701 is – mostly – the same as the Zephyrus S GX531 that we reviewed here but with a bigger 17.3-inch screen and the lack of a webcam.
To compensate for the lack of a webcam, ASUS ROG also announced their own USB webcam – named the GC21. This webcam can be placed on top of the screen bezel like where a typical laptop webcam would be, or on the table since it comes with an aluminium base as well.
Anyway, these are the gaming laptops from ASUS ROG that are refreshed with the latest RTX 20-series GPUs.
- ROG Mothership
- ROG Zephyrus S GX701
- ROG G703
- ROG Zephyrus S GX531
- ROG Strix SCAR II
- ROG Strix Hero II
These new laptops take advantage of the RT and Tensor cores that are the integral part of the Turing architecture of GPUs. That means you can enjoy real-time ray-tracing and also DLSS on your laptop!
These are the specifications of the ASUS ROG laptops after refreshed. Its specs configuration may change depending on region.
