Hi guys,

 

I'm from California, USA and i'm looking for a thin and light gaming laptop, narrowing to 3 Zephyrus model which is the OG Zephyrus GX501GI, Zephyrus S GX531GW, Zephyrus M GM501GM. I love the design of Asus Zephri line up, i don't really care about weird keyboard placement at all. Which model will perform the best (cooling, screen,....), i play games alot, and some photo editing. I may get one within this week.

Zephyrus M, however it's a bit outdated

 

Open to other options? (tbh I don't really like recommending Asus laptops due to QC and warranty concerns)

Thanks GeneXiS for replying.

Should i get zephyrus S with RTX 2070MQ, and for 2000$ budget is there another coptions. Preferably thin and light, boxy design like razer blade or zephryus (hate fat tail and thin front end like XPS and Macbook air). TBH i buy laptop base on the aesthetic  ?, already have a ryzen 7 and 1080ti desktop so performance will not be an issue for me (but it still have to run cool at least).

Also a good choice if you don't mind weird keyboard placement, OKish typing quality, poor battery life, crappy 'chewing gum' thermal paste and Asus questionable warranty+QC
