by The leader of the pack may be the Zephyrus Duo 15 but we have a few more joining the club!
Trailing the shadows of the crazy Zephyrus Duo 15 are a trio of gaming laptops joining the Zephy line. Take a look at the Zephyrus S17, S15, and M15.
First up the Zephyrus S17, a beast that continues the tradition of the downward shifted keyboard. The machine is powered by a 17.3″ 300Hz, 3ms Full HD IPS display, 10th gen Intel Core i7 CPUs, Nvidia RTX cards, up to 1TB SSD, and up to 32GB RAM. The traditional Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) makes a return here, including the gold and grey color scheme. Think of this one as the 2020 successor of the original Zephy line.
