Test: Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX531GS (i7-8750H, GTX 1070 Max-Q, FHD) Laptop (Sammanfattning)

Name: Asus Zephyrus S GX531GS
Brand: Asus

Ett steg framåt, två steg bakåt. Efter GX501 som avsade sig en del av sin mobilitet till förmån för G-Sync så får splitter nya GX531 poäng för Nvidias grafikbytessystem Optimus. I den här utförliga recensionen får du reda på varför dess totala poäng fortfarande är lägre än vad föregångaren fick.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
10 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4.4 ms rise
10 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
7.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 3.8 ms rise
7.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 3.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

ROG Zephyrus S GX531, recensionsex från Asus Germany.

Läs den fullständiga versionen av den här recensionen på engelska här.

ROG Zephyrus S GX531GS är ett perfekt exempel på när en tillverkare går lite för långt i sin iver att göra en tunn laptop.

Ja, från ett marknadsföringsperspektiv kan det vara trevligt att kunna säga att man har den tunnaste toppskikts-laptopen i världen. Men om din enhet låter mer än konkurrenter som använder samma kärnkomponenter och prestandan i 3D-applikationer ändå är aningen svagare så kan tunnheten snart försvinna i bakgrunden då det ändå bara rör sig om några millimeter.

Det är också ett mysterium varför tangentbordet inte sitter där det brukar göra på bärbara datorer, varför utbudet av anslutningar har minskat (GX501 hade fortfarande Thunderbolt 3), varför batteriet är onödigt litet och varför servicemöjligheterna har minskat så drastiskt (endast 1x RAM & 1x M.2). Utöver Gigabyte Aero 15X v8, kan även Razer Blade 15 och MSI GS65 Stealth visa hur man gör jobbet bättre.

Utan dessa konkurrenter hade GX531 haft det betydligt lättare, då Asus har lyckats bra med många andra aspekter av denna gamer på 15 tum, såsom det eleganta och högkvalitativa höljet, RGB-belysningen och den extremt snabba 144 Hz-skärmen med hög kontrast och god färgprecision. Men trots den tunna infattningen så utgör GX531 trots allt mer av ett steg bakåt än ett steg framåt.
