Review: Solid gaming laptop - I waited 2 months to post a review to make sure there were no issues. So far the laptop has performed wonderfully. It can run any current game at max settings. The laptop is very well built. It did come with a lot of stickers on it, which peeled off fairly easily. If there are stickers on the fan area of your laptop, wait till it heats up and they will peel of much easier. The screen looks great and has thin bezels due to Asus removing the webcam and packing it separately. I didn't mind this feature as I don't have use for a webcam. To note, there is still a mic built into the monitor. I thought the keyboard placement would be weird but I actually don't mind it at all. It took about a day to get used to it and now I actually prefer it. I use a wireless mouse with the laptop, so I have no use for the track pad. I undervolted the CPU via throttlestop and also undervolted the GPU via a voltage curve on afterburner. My stable temps after an hour of so of gaming with the fans on balanced mode are about 80c on the cpu and 70c on the gpu which isn't bad for a laptop, especially considering how thin this one is. If you are curious on how to do this, just google "8750h throttlestop" and go from there. The fans do crank up to an audible "whoosh" after awhile but it doesn't bother me. Gaming laptops have come quite a ways. I definitely recommend the Zephyrus S in any configuration, solid laptop.
Review: The Most Powerful (And Slimmest) Laptop Around - The day I received this beast of a machine was probably the best of my life. This was the first steps into great graphics, speedy response times, and ultimate gaming heaven for me when dealing with laptops. Personally, I've built my own custom rigs and had full blown setups with 3 monitors having high refresh rates, latest and greatest in graphics, and all the bang for your buck. HOWEVER! I joined the military and had to get rid of it all but I was in the market for something powerful but portable. After many hours of careful consideration from credible sources and great videos (Shoutout to LTT for the best review), I came across this beauty! Now, I've had a day to get used to the machine and set it up just the way I like it and without a shadow of doubt, this thing is as close to a full blown tower setup as you'll get. The smooth monitor, best in graphics for laptops, easy gliding keyboard, and software that help enhance the over all experience when using this beauty. Anybody who is looking into buying this and is unsure, trust me when I say that it's well worth the money and will not let you down. Thank you for this great laptop!

### ⭐ 2 mo. warranty
*by S***N on July 30, 2020*

Laptop was great when I first got it but within the mo. I started having problems with the fans. I found out that I recieved it with ONLY 2 mo.s left on the warranty. It was suppose to be a new machine and most laptops come with a year warranty. I sent it in for repairs. It worked great! , well for 4mo.s. Now, passed the 2 mo. warranty, the fans run constantly and are extremely loud. The machine is not heating up. It appears to be a problem with the thermal sensor. I imagine it will be quite costly to have it repaired. Very disappointed with all the trouble for a laptop that's 5 mo.s old.
