As the RTX 20-series of graphic cards are setting the world ablaze with its fantastic raw performance and the new features that are exclusive to the RT cores, everyone has been asking where and when gaming laptops will be equipped with this new technology. Today, ASUS has expanded their catalog with 3 new laptops that features the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 Max-Q. Introducing the ROG G703GX and also the ROG Zephyrus S GX531GW.
These laptops are obviously of the highest performance money can buy – and they can handle the full-fledged RTX family of features as well – real-time ray-tracing and also AI.
ROG G703GX
Equipped with the most powerful hardware that a laptop can take, the G703GX comes in two variants with these specs:

Zephyrus S GX531GW
As usual, the Zephyrus series of laptops from ASUS ROG has the bottom part that opens up to give it more room to breathe while the laptop itself is ultra thin. The new Zephyrus S GX531GW has the same design mantra, but comes with a few differences.
Here are the specs for the new refreshed model:
| Segment | ROG Zephyrus S |
| Model Name | GX531G-WES014T |
| Colour | Metal |
| Part Number | 90NR01E1-M00220 |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-8750H |
| Memory | DDR4 2666 8G*1+8G(on board) |
| Total Ram Slot | 1 |
| Storage | PCIE NVME 512GB M.2 SSD |
| LCD Size | 15.6″ FHD; IPS Level; 144hz; 3ms; 100% sRGB; Anti-glare |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX2070 MAX-Q |
| VRAM | GDDR6 8GB |
| Optical Drive | No ODD |
| WiFi | 802.11ac 2*2 +Bluetooth 5.0 |
| OS | Windows 10 Home (64bit) |
| Battery | 60WHrs, 4S1P, 4-cell Li-ion, 15.4V |
| Warranty | 2Y Global |

With those said, if you have cash to spare and want the best of the best when it comes to a laptop, then consider getting either of these laptops. For thin and light gaming, I’ll personally recommend you getting the Zephyrus S, but does come with compromises like smaller battery and limited upgradability.
Whichever the case may be, they are all great for modern AAA gaming as they all fully support NVIDIA’s new RTX suite of features.
