ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS GX501 GTX 1080 MAX-Q GAMING NOTEBOOK


OVERVIEW


Is it Time to Stop Prioritizing Performance Over Portability?


NVIDIA announced “GeForce GTX with Max-Q Design” at Computex a few months ago. The main idea behind this programme is to use GTX 1080, 1070, and 1060 GPUs that have been set up in a certain way. During the manufacturing process, these GPUs were tested and chosen to use less power while still having the same level of performance as GPUs used in more traditional form factors like desktop graphics cards.( NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q ) 



In order to use these “Max-Q” binned GPUs, notebook makers have to follow NVIDIA’s rules about how loud their machines get when they’re under heat load (sub-40 dbA). To be clear, it looks like NVIDIA isn’t giving partners reference notebook designs (as shown by the different designs of the Max-Q notebooks), but rather ideas for how they can reach the goals.

Several Max-Q notebooks were shown at the show by NVIDIA and some of its partners. We hope to look at all of these machines in the next few weeks, but today we’re going to focus on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus, which is one of the first.

As you can see, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus has the specs of a high-end gaming desktop, let alone a gaming notebook. In some gaming notebook designs, the CPU power is more important than the GPU power when it comes to the bottleneck. It doesn’t look like that’s the case here. The powerful GTX 1080 GPU works with a quad-core Intel HyperThread processor that can go up to 3.8 GHz.

Also, it has all the comforts you’d expect from a high-end PC made in the last few years. Samsung’s 512GB of fast NVMe storage and 24GB of RAM will help you do everyday work tasks as well as games.

Now let’s talk about the ROG Zephyrus’s most unique feature: its shape.


The Zephyrus moves the keyboard and trackpad to the very front edge of the laptop. This gives the CPU and GPU more space to work on. Even though this isn’t necessarily a first for notebooks (I’m thinking of the MSI GT83VR TITAN), it’s a more radical design than most notebook users are used to seeing.



Right away, we had doubts about how well a keyboard and mouse would work in this spot on a notebook. From what I know about the Zephyrus, the answer is simple: it’s not good.

Any way I’ve tried to use the Zephyrus other than sitting at a desk has been at best uncomfortable. So you can use the keyboard and mouse, you have to push the Zephyrus back far to use it on your lap. This makes the machine’s centre of gravity move closer to your knees, making the whole thing feel unstable.

Things are better when you use the ROG Zephyrus on a flat surface like a desk. The keyboard feels good to use, and even though the trackpad is in an odd place, it works well. The Zephyrus also comes with a rubber wrist rest to make it easier to type. Even though I wouldn’t want to travel with a wrist rest, it makes typing much more comfortable.

Some people might think it’s silly to complain about not being able to use a gaming laptop to surf the web while watching Netflix on your TV. But I would say that one reason to make a gaming laptop that is easier to carry around is so that it can be used in different places. Also, I think that someone who spends $2,700 on a computer is likely to use it as their only computer. The Zephyrus doesn’t seem to be set up for this. I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to use this notebook on the tray table of an aeroplane.


The angled ventilation system on the bottom of the Zephyrus is an interesting part of its design. When you open the Zephyrus, the bottom panel tilts up and lets air flow directly to the fans on the GPU and CPU. This makes a big difference in how well the computer stays cool. It also lets the fans spin slower, which makes less noise when you’re playing games.

Because the Zephyrus is so thick, it doesn’t have as many ports as other gaming laptops. There are four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a Thunderbolt 3 Type-C port, a combo audio jack, and a full-size HDMI 2.0 port. Since the Zephyrus is too thin to fit an RJ-45 connector, it comes with a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter to help with wired networking.

How to Link Aadhaar Card to Voter ID Card

  The Indian Union Cabinet has given the green light to linking Aadhaar to the voter list. The Election Commission of India (ECI) wants to make it possible for people to link their Aadhaar card to their voter ID card. The Rajkot update news shows how important this link is, since it lets first-time voters sign up to vote up to four times a year. People who turn 18 on or before January 1 of each year can register to vote once, according to the bill. Based on the Rajkot Update News: Link Aadhaar with Voter List , this rule does not depend on a person's gender. This means that both men and women can sign up for a voter's card and link it to their Aadhaar card. As the Rajkot update story said, you can link your Aadhaar number to the voter list through the National Voter Service Portal, an SMS, the phone, or by going to the booth-level officer in your area.
