I’m pretty stoked about this laptop and Asus did a good job with the update. The Zephyrus S feels a lot more like a modern laptop than the 2017 generation, with an excellently crafted body, compact and light design, a matte IPS screen with 144 Hz refresh-rate and small bezels, as well as up-to-date hardware. However, potential buyers still have to accept the keyboard/trackpad’s unusual placement, the small battery and the gaming-inspired design lines, so the Zephyrus S needs to compensate for those with better performance than the competition, cooler/quieter emissions and a competitive price.
