Experience life-like visuals when playing HD games with this 15.6-inch ASUS laptop. The AMD Ryzen 7 3750H processor and 16GB of RAM enable rapid responses, and the gamer-focused keyboard layout includes four hot keys for faster, more intuitive control. This 15.6-inch ASUS laptop is powered by an NVIDIA GeForce 1660 Ti Max-Q graphics card for high frame rates.
Q: Is the 16GB RAM single or dual channel? Also, are there extra slots for adding more SSDs?
A: 16gb is dual channel. One is 8gb soldered onto the motherboard, the other is a removable 8gb stick. There is an extra m.2 slot that supports sata or nvme.
Q: Can I put a hdd inside this laptop?
A: Don't listen to some of the answers here. There are two m.2 / NVMe storage slots on the motherboard, with one being populated with a 512GB NVMe SSD and the 2nd slot is empty. You can easily install a second PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD at least up to 2TB. NVMe SSD's are 100X better than a traditional hard drive, and PCIe NVMe's are usually about 10X faster than traditional 2.5" SATA SSD's. You WANT PCIe NVMe rather than a SATA HDD slot. Also, if you're wondering, the 16GB RAM is using two 8GB memory modules, one is soldered to the motherboard while the other 8GB module is in a slot and can be replaced with either a 16GB or 32GB module, giving you a total of 24GB or 32GB of memory. Put that into perspective, this is a quad-core AMD Ryzen 7 mobile laptop that costs $899 right now, and for another $300, you could upgrade it to 40GB of RAM and 2.5TB of really fast SSD storage, all in a thin and light package with a dedicated GPU. I wish they'd re-release this with Ryzen 7 3780U processor, 16GB memory module on the motherboard an a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, maybe a non-MaxQ GPU (although I understand the power and thermal issues), maybe an RTX=2070/2080. I love the form factor of this machine, and it could easily keep up with the Thicc-boi high end gaming laptops if it were refreshed with the top of the AMD/Nvidia mobile products and large base SSD and RAM. I'd gladly pay another $400 for a newer top of the line model. All said, you would be hard pressed to find another NEW laptop in the thin-and-light class that comes remotely close to this machines specs and gaming performance for under $900. I mean, a 12.9" wi-fi only iPad Pro with only 64GB of storage costs $100 more than this laptop!
Q: Is the RGB backlighting zoned or per key lighting?
A: I ran into this issue after purchasing it. This laptop only has white backlit keys. I'm saving you the trouble of finding out after you bring it home!
Q: Does this unit have a 120Hz or 144Hz screen? I do not see a mention of it on the description.
A: 120HZ.
A: Try going into the NVIDIA control panel and go to the 3D settings and the options from choose automatically to NVIDIA processor. If you don't have the control panel the download the NVIDIA GeForce Experience. But the computer should have come with it on there, mine did.
A: Depending on the game Fornite/PUBG run well on ultra/high, games like Anthem runs in the 30's on high and 60's on med. In general all games run smoother that a console with higher frames but keep in mind that some newer titles like Rage 2 gives top cards like a GeForce RTX 2070 a problem when running in ultra.
A: This unit is part of the Asus Zephyrus G Family.
