Asus ROG Zephyrus M GM501GM-EI005T User Review and Ratings

• Awesome gaming Laptop!
  Rahul (May 21, 2019) on Amazon
  It's a very good gaming pc alternative..... Full metal build... Screen has no flex to it.. Neither does the keyboard area... I was slightly worried about the metal plate which opens up when you lift the screen, but it turned out pretty secure...... The trackpad is really smooth and it has windows precision drivers which make it a great experience..... Connectivity is on par.... Easy to open with one finger... Not actually that heavy... Super slim!!... And the gaming in this thing is really good..... All the games I played gave roughly 80 to 90 FPS consistently...... The screen is also a 144hz panel which makes it worth gaming on!....... The only issue i had with this laptop is that it has a very small battery life.... 2.5 hours max while gaming and streaming..... Also it reaches uncomfortable tempratures which is because of it's full metal body.... But that can be solved with a coolpad so never mind that........ I got this for 1.34 L excluding emi.... So it was a really good deal.... Even at 1.64 L.... It's recommendable..... Happy with the product and delivery was fast too..

  This a great laptopp at this price point. It has awesome screen, great performance and it looks gorgeous. Gaming is good and it handles all the games nicely at respectable frame rates as this model has a gtx 1060 graphics card. However there are tow issues.One is low battery life as this offers only 2.5-3 hrs with full charge which is a drawback. another is rhick bazel. I personally dont like them much. Another issue is trackpad which though is small but has smooth experience except that it sometimes doesn?t respond to touch.Overall great laptop except thick bazel and low battery life.

• A powerful laptop that's perfect for the living room... if you have the right setup.

  I can confidently say that I do indeed have what appears to be a flawless unit (so far)!Pros:- Incredible gaming power; maxing out Destiny 2 on the absolute highest settings and I get 115+ FPS the majority of the time (you'll get normal dips to 80+ FPS at times, though this is normal as even my Titan Xp desktop rig does this depending on if things are loading on screen or there's a specific instance with a ton of activity for a split second, etc). I also managed a surprisingly stable max OC of +200mhz on core and memory using MSI Afterburner on stock voltages...basically making up the ground to being a "true" GTX1060 as opposed to the slightly lower-clocked Max-Q version that this is supposed to be.- Extremely lightweight! Even with the power brick, this is an ultra-portable powerhouse and somehow feels even lighter than my work Surface Book.- Fantastic design; the bottom opening up when the screen is opened to ventilate, the copper accents, etc...it's certainly one of the better looking "gaming" laptops out there. It is a fingerprint magnet though, but I don't think that deserves to knock off a star.- Great keyboard; tactile enough and super quiet- Boot up time takes literally 5 seconds...it's actually impressive- 120hz display w/ G-Sync...need I say more? The 1080p res is perfect for a 15.6" screen as well (i've owned 4k laptops at this size and honestly, give me 1080p @ 120 FPS w/ G-Sync over 4k @ 60hz for a gaming laptop any day).Cons:- Can't repaste CPU or GPU without voiding warranty (sticker is there), and combing through forums it seems that using something like Gelid Extreme or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut makes an 8-10c difference on the max temps of both the CPU and GPU; this is a big deal, as though the laptop is engineered to last, it's always nice to keep temps as low as possible to squeeze out as much longevity as possible.- Undervolting the CPU with Intel's XTU tool is pretty much a MUST...I managed to undervolt mine by -0.130v and it made a 7-8c difference in max temps. This is important as the CPU and GPU share the heatsink pipes and any amount of temps you can drop helps. After the undervolting I have yet to see either the CPU or GPU come close to 80c during gaming (i've seen reports of 90c without undervolting) and i'm guessing that undervolting combined with new thermal paste would probably result in low-mid 70s TOPS on this during gaming even at warm ambient temps.- The ROG branding is fine, but for a laptop in this price range, ASUS should really tone it down...the "Republic of Gamers" lettering on the screen bezel is too gaudy, and the red LEDs on the bottom of the machine can't be turned off...I would have paid more money to have these things removed to make the laptop more "acceptable" for professional use (or if you're just trying to be generally considerate in a dark room or something).Bottom line is....if you're looking for a sleek and portable gaming powerhouse to max out most modern games and a 120hz/G-Sync display is important to you, and price is generally not a concern...you can't go wrong with the GM501GM!PS: For those wondering if the 1080 version is worth the price premium...i'd say no, not for 1080p even at 120hz...i'd save the $500 as OC'ing the 1070 Max-Q in this unit is PLENTY of power already...and I say this as a guy who bought a Titan Xp over a 1080 Ti.... :P
