  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • We've had those sweet, sweet RTX

  • graphics in desktops for a little while now.

  • However, today is the day that it is finally time

  • for all of this power to come down

  • to the laptop side of things.

  • To test, we have the brand new ROG Zephyrus S 17 inch.

  • Now, we actually took a brief at this laptop at CES.

  • However, at that time, Nvidia had

  • the performance testing side of things locked down.

  • But with this in our hands, it's time to see

  • exactly what we can get out of RTX for laptops.

  • Here, we've got the top end RTX 2080,

  • paired with a Core i7-8750H.

  • Now, the main cutback going from the full desktop GPU

  • to the laptop Max-Q edition is in TDP.

  • Instead of having over 200 watts to work with,

  • this has to fit in a 100 watt budget,

  • which basically just means the clock speed comes down.

  • Desktop was about 1700 megahertz,

  • this is a little bit over 1200 as far as boost clocks go.

  • Take a look at the benchmarks, though,

  • and it is not a massive improvement,

  • but you will see a pretty good performance bump

  • over the previous generation, GTX 1080,

  • and especially that Max-Q implementation.

  • Now, benchmarks are one thing.

  • But what I want to know is what will it take

  • to get this RTX 2080 running at a full 1080p

  • at 144 frames per second, which is what this screen can do.

  • Now, starting off with, let's see

  • what we can do with Overwatch.

  • Well, three seconds into Overwatch,

  • it looks like this is no problem.

  • We're completely maxed out on ultra settings, the 1080p.

  • And right now, we're about 160 frames per second.

  • I gotta say, Overwatch looks like

  • a solid thumbs up on this front.

  • Next up, we have everyone's favorite game, Fortnite.

  • So this, I think should be pretty easy

  • for the 2080 to handle.

  • Even on full epic settings, I don't think it'll be an issue.

  • Fortnite is another game that is no problem to run,

  • although we're a little bit closer here,

  • at about what, 100, I don't know, 120?

  • So especially paired with that G-Sync panel,

  • 144 frames per second is no problem in Fortnite,

  • so now let's move on to Black Ops.

  • So when it comes to Black Ops,

  • I'm not super sure that we're actually going to be able

  • to max it out fully and still hit 144 frames,

  • but let's give it a try, I guess.

  • I will mention that I am running this

  • on the balanced power mode,

  • so you can crank the fan up to turbo,

  • but in my testing, it only gives you

  • another couple percentage or so of performance,

  • but it's like twice as loud, so I'm not gonna do that.

  • Okay, yeah, immediately I can tell

  • that we're at 100 frames per second,

  • which is good, and to be fair, we do have a G-Sync panel,

  • which means that it's nice and smooth,

  • but a 90, 100 frames per second,

  • that's not what we're looking for.

  • So all you needed to do is crank things down to high

  • and we're pretty much locked at 140 fps.

  • Next, let's see how Battlefield 5 fares.

  • We are in the game, this is not 144 frames.

  • This is about 50 frames.

  • So the thing with Battlefield that's going to be difficult

  • is it does support ray tracing.

  • And it is one of the very few games

  • that does support ray tracing right now,

  • but it is incredibly demanding,

  • especially on the ultra setting.

  • Okay, so turning ray tracing down to low

  • gave us a big boost in frames.

  • We're now up to about 90, which on this G-Sync panel,

  • honestly, really is not a problem.

  • I would be totally happy to play the game like this.

  • Damn, like look at the, look at the reflection.

  • Dude, every time I see a car, I have to go and like,

  • oh, I should probably not do that.

  • So this is a playable game, absolutely,

  • but I want 144 frames per second,

  • which means it's time to start cranking that thing down.

  • Now that's more like it, we're about

  • 130, 140 frames per second right now.

  • I did have to turn off ray tracing

  • and then set everything down to medium, but I mean,

  • we do have a very, very playable, 140 frames per second.

  • I mean to be fair, medium looks totally fine

  • and that 144 frames per second is a big deal.

  • But if it's me, I'm going to turn the ray tracing on

  • and give up a few frames per second

  • to get that extra little bit of visual.

  • Now gaming is great, but this also

  • is great for content creation.

  • So Wes, how does it handle Resolve,

  • and specifically RED stuff?

  • - So what we have playing here

  • is 7 and 8K RED footage playing down at quarter res.

  • But as you can see, with a color grade on there,

  • and a few nodes, doing kind of a punchier grade.

  • It is playing back in real time, which is something that

  • Resolve would struggle with on lower end spec.

  • - This makes a lot of sense as a laptop

  • to use for content creation then, right?

  • Because you got something that's fairly thin,

  • you do have the Pantone color calibrated display,

  • which realistically, eh.

  • - Well, so, so look.

  • Coming out of the factory, it'll be pretty good.

  • It's going to shift over the first

  • few hours, honestly, of use.

  • But by having a good display, that means that

  • if you are someone that wants to calibrate in the future,

  • you can be fairly comfortable that you are going to be able

  • to get a fairly good calibration out of it.

  • - Next, let's talk about this actual laptop itself,

  • the Zephyrus S, which there's actually

  • a lot more to talk about than purely just the graphic side.

  • This shares a lot of DNA with the original Zephyrus.

  • When it's closed, it's only 18 mil thick.

  • When you open it up, the entire deck lid raises

  • to give more cooling from the bottom.

  • There's also a very unusual placement

  • for the keyboard and trackpad.

  • So it's all put on the bottom half of the laptop,

  • which means that this top half is entirely dedicated

  • to cooling that CPU and especially the GPU.

  • Now, these does take a little bit of getting used to,

  • but it's really not so bad.

  • Now, the same thing goes with the touchpad.

  • While it's a little bit smaller than usual,

  • most importantly it has a solid surface,

  • and you do have the option of turning it into a number pad.

  • And some of the best sounding click buttons

  • I have ever tried on a trackpad.

  • All of this means that this is among

  • the smallest 17 inch gaming laptops that you can buy.

  • That being said though, it is still a 17 inch gaming laptop.

  • Sure, it's a little bit closer to something like

  • that 15 inch Zephyrus that came out last year.

  • But realistically, there's no getting around

  • that this is a very, very big footprint for a laptop.

  • I'll give them this though.

  • At only six pounds, it is way lighter than you would expect,

  • considering that there is that full 2080 inside,

  • but don't exactly expect to you know,

  • fit this in your backpack easily.

  • The display itself is exactly what you would expect

  • out of a high-end gaming laptop.

  • It's a 17.3 inch panel, with a 1080p resolution,

  • but importantly, not only does it run at a full 144 hertz,

  • but it also supports G-Sync.

  • You also have Nvidia Optimus onboard.

  • Usually, you have to pick one or the other.

  • G-Sync is for keeping those frame rates nice and smooth

  • and to keep any kind of tearing out,

  • whereas Optimus allows you to turn off that graphics card

  • when you're not using it to save battery life.

  • Now, in this, you do have to manually turn it on

  • as well as restart the laptop

  • when you're switching between the two.

  • Most of the time, when you have a laptop with G-Sync,

  • it means that you're gonna get like an hour of battery life,

  • so thankfully that's not the case here with Optimus onboard.

  • Paired with a decently sized 76 watt hour battery,

  • I'd be able to get about three to three and a half hours

  • of normal use with the laptop.

  • Now that's not gaming, mind you, but this is actually

  • a laptop that you can do some other stuff with.

  • Not a lot of other stuff, but some other stuff.

  • You do have the added benefit of supporting USB-C charging.

  • Now, that's not enough to fully power the laptop.

  • It tops out at 65 watts, so it's a lot more

  • for kind of, charging it overnight,

  • or using it for lighter tasks, but importantly, this means

  • that if you want to take this on the go,

  • you don't have to always carry

  • the giant 200 watt power brick.

  • Instead, you can take a smaller one

  • or just plug into a USB-C monitor to top off.

  • Also, while we're talking about USB-C,

  • it does have a pair of USB-C ports,

  • but neither support Thunderbolt 3,

  • something that the previous Zephyrus did.

  • Not exactly like a deal breaker,

  • it's just kind of an odd decision.

  • Something interesting about this notebook

  • is the webcam, it doesn't have one.

  • That is where this comes in.

  • In the box, they do include an external webcam.

  • Now, there's a couple reasons for this.

  • First of all, they don't have a whole lot

  • of bezel to work with on the top.

  • But more importantly, this is

  • a higher quality webcam than usual.

  • Not only does it support 1080p,

  • but it also has a full 60 fps output.

  • And on top of that, they also have

  • a little stand that comes with it,

  • so if you want to do something like Twitch streaming,

  • you can set the webcam off to the side.

  • You know what, this actually does look

  • a lot better than most webcams, including on a laptop.

  • Now sure, it's not going to be quite as good as something

  • like a dedicated camera setup for Twitch streaming,

  • but considering that this comes in the box,

  • I've gotta say, really not a bad idea.

  • (music playing from laptop speakers)

  • - Hey, not bad.

  • So the audio's pretty impressive here.

  • Not only do you have a pair of speakers

  • that are firing directly at you, but on top of that,

  • there is this awesome little wheel to control the volume.

  • It's like what you would find

  • on a lot of mechanical keyboards, and I love it.

  • Like seriously, can everyone just adopt this?

  • Like, I want this on every laptop ever.

  • Now as you might imagine, all of this

  • doesn't exactly come cheap.

  • The Zephyrus S starts at $2700, and the model I have here

  • comes in at a full $3,200 and zero cents.

  • I don't know why I had to say zero cents,

  • but it just sounds more impressive that way.

  • With that RTX 2080 Max-Q inside,

  • you will not find another gaming laptop

  • that's this thin as well as this light,

  • while still giving you a full 17 inch display,

  • and importantly, this much performance.

  • Now whether it's worth the price tag is kind of up to you.

  • But I've gotta say, they did

  • a lot right with the Zephyrus S.

- Hey guys, this is Austin.
