ASUS launches the ROG Zephyrus GX501 in the Philippines

ASUS Philippines has just launched the ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 in the Philippines that packs a Max-Q Design from Nvidia. We first saw this notebook last Computex and we were really amazed by how thin the laptop is. With this technology from Nvidia, gaming notebooks will be able to have a powerful hardware inside but still be able to have a profile and design that is thin and light compared to other notebooks.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 is powered by a 7th-generation Intel Core i7 processor along with the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU. But again, despite having this hardware, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 still manages to have a thin profile at 17.9mm and down to 16.9mm at its thinnest point.

So how did ASUS managed the cooling system? Well, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 is cooled using the Active Aerodynamic System or AAS which can run cooler and quieter than before. When you open the notebook, you would see a portion of the bottom of the chassis that opens to have a better airflow and air circulation.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 also has a different design from the previous ROG notebooks and in this notebook, we’ll be able to see a half slice design with the ROG logo at the upper side of the notebook which is, by the way, looks cleaner and better than before. The notebook is almost complete when it comes to ports including USB Type-C however, the noticeable missing port in the ASUS ROG Zephyrus is the Display port but again, don’t worry because this one has a USB 3.1 Type-C with Thunderbolt 3.

Another selling point of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 is the 15.6 Full HD display with support for 120Hz Refresh rate with Nvidia G-Sync so you’ll have a smoother and more buttery smooth experience on its display.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 Specs

  • 15.6-inch Full HD display with 120Hz refresh rate with Nvidia G-Sync
  • Intel Core i7-7700HQ Processor
  • 24GB RAM DDR4 Memory
  • 512GB PCIe x4 NVMe SSD
  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB DDR5 or GTX 1070 8GB DDR5
  • 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C with Thunderbolt 3
  • 4x USB 3.1
  • 1x HDMI 2.0
  • 1x 3.5 headphone and mic combo jack
  • HD Camera
  • ASUS Aura RGB backlit chiclet keyboard with 30-key rollover
  • 37.9 x 26.2 x 1.69cm

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 will come in two variants — a Nvidia GTX 1070 and a Nvidia GTX 1080 GPU which is priced at P149,995 and P179,995 respectively. It’s actually not bad for a gaming notebook at this size and hardware.

ASUS Zenfone AR Launched in the Philippines

We first saw the ASUS Zenfone AR in CES 2017 last January and we got our first hands-on of the smartphone last Computex. The ASUS Zenfone AR is the first smartphone to pack Google Tango and also Google Daydream which are Google’s platform for AR and VR respectively.

The specs of the smartphone isn’t the latest as this one packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor but don’t fret because this smartphone is the world’s first smarphone with 8GB RAM. I know, the smartphone has a pretty amazing specifications but the best featureof the smartphone is the Google Tango.

To be able to have a smartphone to have Google Tango, the smartphone must have the right sensors and with the ASUS Zenfone AR, we have a tri-cam set up which allows motion tracking, area learning, & depth perception. Google Tango brings us to a whole new world whenever we use it on our smartphones as it shows objects that are not on the real world but it is shown in our smartphones.

While Google Daydream is the platfom for Virtual Reality and actually, using the Daydream headset and the controller feels and works better than most VR platforms as this one has a smoother and better experience and with the motion controller system, it feels like you’re in another world.

ASUS Zenfone AR Specs

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 Processor
  • 5.7-inch WQHD (2560×1440) Display
  • 8GB RAM
  • 128GB Internal storage with MicroSD card slot up to 2TB
  • 23-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, Dual LED Flash, OIS
  • Tri-cam system for Tango
  • 8-megapixel front camera
  • USB Type-C
  • WiFi, LTE, GPS, A-GPS
  • Dual Sim
  • Android 7.0 Nougat
  • 3300mAh Battery

The ASUS Zenfone AR will be available in the Philippines next week for Php44,995 which is bundled with an ASUS ZenPower Ultra

ASUS Zenfone AR’s price is actually justifiable despite not having the latest Snapdragon 825 processor because this smartphone packs a hardware for Google Tango and then there’s the spacious 128GB of internal storage and also a large 8GB of RAM. However, the ASUS Zenfone AR is still a niche device.
