85% Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703HM review (i7-11800H, RTX 3060, QHD)Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org versionThis base configuration on the ROG Zephyrus S17 is a mid-level performer in a fancy suit and with fancy features, the kind you can expect in the premium niche. All these come with a steep entry price for an i7 laptop with 16 GB of RAM and an RTX 3060 dGPU, but the package might nonetheless appeal to a larger audience looking for a premium 17-inch laptop at a little over $2000. Right now, though, I'd give it a bit more time so Asus can figure out their QC and work on a more mature software, both potential unpleasant aspects that you'd have to deal with as an early adopter.

100% Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 GX703 review: Soaring ever higherSource: Expert Reviews I haven’t talked about the price yet, but, like walking into a Mayfair shop, if you have to ask how much the Zephyrus S17 costs then you probably can’t afford it. There are far cheaper gaming laptops, and you’re paying a premium not only for performance but also for quality. That includes the 1440p display, mechanical keyboard and high-quality chassis. If you want more RGB bling and don’t mind a fatter design, the ROG Strix 17 G733 is a better choice. For us, though, the more subtle and slimmer Zephyrus design – and superior screen – win out. If money is no object, this is our gaming laptop of choice. Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 01/14/2022Rating: Total score: 100%
