ASUS ROG Zephyrus S15 GX502 Gaming Laptop
Product Gallery
Product Overview
ASUS ROG Zephyrus S15 GX502 is a 15.6-inch ultra-portable gaming laptop with minimal compromise in performance. It is available with up to RTX 2080 SUPER graphics and Core i7-10875H CPU.
Similar to the larger ROG SCAR 15, the Zephyrus S15 GX502 supports a 300Hz / 3ms matte IPS display. However, the Zephyrus S15 is 25% thinner and measurably lighter at just under 2kg. It drops some additional RGB lighting, though the per-key RGB backlighting is retained. The ROG Zephyrus S15 can further be configured with up to 32GB DDR4-3200MHz memories and dual M.2 SSD. WiFi 6 is also newly available.
For those who demand a larger display, ASUS also offers the ROG Zephyrus S17 that shares much of the same features with the S15.
For a similar performance in a larger chassis, ASUS markets the ROG Strix SCAR 15 and SCAR 17. The ROG Strix G15 and G17 are tuned-down versions of the SCAR-series. The Zephyrus M15 is a tuned-down version of the Zephyrus S15. The flagship this year is the Zephyrus Duo 15 that comes with dual 4K displays.
ASUS also markets AMD-powered Zephyrus G14 and G15 for those that prefer the red team.

Reviewer score 60%With its eight cores and clock rates between 2.3 and 5.1 GHz, the Intel Core i7-10875H offers about 10% more performance. The Zephyrus S15 achieves a place in the middle of our test field in the PCMark 10 system performance test. Despite the matte screen surface, some image content is difficult to read.

Reviewer score 85%The Zephyrus S15 is built for hardcore gaming, but it's capable of taking care of productivity and creativity apps as well. Gamers with deep pockets will adore the eight-core, 300Hz display, and keyboard. The S15 easily earns a place amid the gaming elite, but the arrival of newer Nvidia GPUs will diminish its status.
