Thanks to the G-SYNC and Optimus modes, you can easily switch between your work profile and gaming life! The G-SYNC mode enables better optimization of the laptop as you indulge in high-octane gaming. It enables smoother gameplay, lower input lags, and blur-free graphics. This mode also helps optimize the battery for longer battery life. The Optimus mode, on the other hand, optimizes the GPU to conserve energy and boost productivity while you are working on your day-to-day tasks on the laptop.

Equipped with GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Max-Q GPU and the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10875H CPU helps the Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 deliver desktop-like performance while playing hardcore games or indulging in graphics-intensive creative work. The laptop also comes with an 8 GB of VRAM. The GPU of this laptop makes use of real-time ray tracing technology and AI-enhanced image processing to deliver photorealistic graphics. The powerful 32 GB (2x 16 GB) of DDR4 3200 MHz Dual-Channel RAM helps you seamlessly multitask while the 1 TB NVMe SSD allows you to store all your favourite multimedia files, games, and even professional portfolio without sacrificing speed and performance.

Thanks to the USB Type-C with Thunderbolt 3 support, you can connect multiple displays for an expanded workstation. This port also lets you connect high-speed storage devices so that you can seamlessly edit and transfer multimedia files. With an interface bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps, you can also watch your favourite movies or TV shows on UHD TVs and monitors.

The laptop features the Intel Wi-Fi 6 with Gig+ (802.11ax) helps you with faster wireless speeds and is designed for a more responsive performance. This feature boosts network speed, lets you play your gaming titles at LAN speeds (wherever it is compatible) and helps in better connectivity in crowded environments. The laptop’s own ROG RangeBoost technology intelligently analyses the signals and picks the one that is the most reliable. This makes gaming as well as working with this laptop on Wi-Fi signals an enjoyable experience.

Despite a sleek frame that leaves little room for cooling, the Zephyrus S17 comes equipped with the innovative ROG Active Aerodynamic System (AAS). While you are busy working on the image-heavy project or gaming away on the latest titles, the AAS expands and allows increased airflow by up to 32%. Apart from this, unlike the standard thermal paste, the liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly helps reduce the CPU’s temperatures by up to 10°C. The anti-dust tunnels ensure the heatsinks are clean and preserve the cooling efficiency. All this helps the laptop deliver top performance irrespective of whether you are working or gaming.

The unique ROG Active Aerodynamic System helps release a 5 mm vent that allows increased airflow for faster cooling. The dual 12 V fans absorb the cool air and distribute it across the laptop to keep it cool. The laptop also features four exhaust outlets at the edges of the chassis. Each exhaust fan segregates the warm outflow from the AAS’s cool inflow of air.

The liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly helps reduce the temperature of the CPU by up to 10°C compared to a conventional thermal paste. This is a customized piece of equipment that ensures a reduced temperature with precision. The section that rests on the CPU comes with a special fence around itself that ensures the liquid metal does not leak out over time.

The laptop features six heatpipes that work relentlessly to pull heat away from the CPU, GPU, and VRAM. They also keep the circuitry that supplies them power also cool.

While you are rigorously playing a game or working hard on a creative project, the thermal energy produced by the laptop is blown out by 4 heatsinks. Each of these heatsinks, located on the flanks of the laptop, is lined with ultra-thin fins made of copper. Unlike typical fins, these fins allow higher density and lower air resistance, thereby helping the laptop cool faster. With a total of 220 heatsink fins, the Zephyrus S17 ensures you continue working on it without feeling any kind of heat.

The laptop comes equipped with a self-cleaning system that keeps the heatsinks debris-free and ensures consistent cooling performance for a long period of time.

The laptop comes with specially designed n-Blade fans that help maximize the airflow within the laptop’s chassis. The carefully crafted blades come with curved edges that help the fans draw in more air. The air that gets sucked in is circulated towards the heatsinks to ensure maximum cooling.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 intelligently monitors your usage and smartly adjusts the cooling system for maximum performance. The Turbo mode makes use of the highest fan speed to maximize performance. The Performance mode ensures that the clocks and fans are optimized for an enhanced gaming experience. The Silent mode runs the laptop for optimal daily work performance.

The laptop comes with a uniquely designed desktop-styled keyboard that is comfortable to use for long durations. Thanks to Asus's innovative Aura Sync, each key can be customized with RGB backlighting to match the colours depending on the game you are playing. This is also compatible with other Aura Sync peripherals. The illumination also gives you a glowing number pad that appears on the touchpad.

Apart from being a great gaming laptop, the Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 also delivers an incredible sound experience. The laptop comes with a smart amplifier technology that allows the speakers to deliver sound within thermal and excursion limits. This allows you to crank up the volume without harming the cones. Thanks to this technology, the sound delivery is loud and has more bass. With a headphone plugged into the jack, immerse yourself in the virtual surround sound of your gaming titles. Hear each and every sound, right from the dialogues to the enemies on the battlefield.

The laptop comes with a USB Type-C charging support. The fast-charging feature of this laptop also allows you to charge your smartphone and other compatible devices too. You can make use of a smaller adapter up to 65 W while you are travelling with the ROG Zephyrus S17.

The ROG Zephyrus S17 comes with a host of connectivity options that feature a Thunderbolt 3 with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, a Type-A port, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. It also comes with an HDMI 2.0b output with support for 4K UHD at up to 60 Hz and a Wi-Fi 6 connection for lighting-fast online access.

The ROG GC21 is an external camera that needs to be bought separately for the laptop. The camera captures FHD details and is compact in design, making it quite portable. This camera can be connected to the laptop via a USB port and can be adjusted as per your requirements for a seamless video chat.
