Powered by 10th generation Intel Core i7, it is also paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU. Its display is also Pantone validated and has GPU switch benefits like the Zephyrus Duo 15 and S15 model.
The Zephyrus S17 includes a full desktop-style keyboard with per-key RGB LED backlighting. The numberpad is positioned on the right side, with both a touchpad and a numeric keypad combo. There is also an integrated volume roller complete with backlight brightness. To cool the Zephyrus S17 down, it also uses the AAS system that opens a large intake vent beneath the system when the lid is raised.

Apart from that, it also has G-Sync technology, and Liquid Metal cooling.
