Reviewer score 63% (normalized by Neofiliac)With Turbo Boost, the clock speed can be increased to 4.3 GHz on six cores and up to 5 GHz on a single core.

- NVMe SSD

Cons

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Asus Zephyrus M15 is a very appealing laptop with few weak points. It's not the most affordable rig, but many more expensive machines have crossed our testing benches. Compared to the others, its RTX 2070 (Max-Q) GPU isn't dominant.
Pros
- High-quality aluminum build
- Solid gaming performance
- Good battery life
Cons
- Weak webcam
- No Thunderbolt 3 port

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Asus ROG Zephyrus M15 GU502 is an affordable gaming laptop. It has a 1080p display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. This is ideal for gamers who want to play fast-paced games. The trackpad beneath the keyboard isn't huge, but is big enough to use comfortably, and does the job well enough.
Pros
- Extremely thin and light
- Excellent gaming performance
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- No external mouse

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)The ROG Zephyrus M15 is the hottest laptop we've tested since MSI's GS66 Stealth. It's even hotter than that laptop up top on the keyboard. At the very least, you'll want to game with the M15 on a desk or table rather than your lap. The $1,579 model with the GTX 2070 is definitely worth paying the extra $279.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Strong performance
- Good battery life
Cons
- No webcam
- No fingerprint reader
