Review: Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502

Conclusion

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502 is another interesting option in an increasingly competitive market of high-end 15.6in gaming laptops.

Priced at £2,300, highlights include a Core i7-9750H processor, regular GeForce RTX 2070 graphics, 32GB of DDR4 memory and a super-fast 240Hz display. Plenty to go by, and Asus adds something different to the norm by giving users a choice of Optimus or G-Sync operating modes.

Delivering all of the above in a sleek 15.6in chassis is enough for the GX502 to be a worthwhile competitor, but a few niggles prevent the laptop from moving to the front of the pack. Fan noise is a primary concern, battery life is disappointing, and the absence of a built-in webcam is a strange one.

Bottom line: Zephyrus S GX502 might not be the best gaming laptop in its class, but it remains an interesting choice for those seeking a fast display, RTX 2070 graphics and G-Sync in a tidy package from a well-known brand.
