From the manufacturer
ROG Zephyrus S GX531
The ROG Zephyrus S is redefining ultra-slim gaming laptops yet again with innovative engineering to cool its 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and up to GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q design, so you can immerse yourself in its no-compromise 144Hz/3ms display.
Up your Game with GeForce RTX
Powered by the NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture and the revolutionary RTX platform, RTX graphics cards bring together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading to your favorite ROG devices.
Silky-Smooth 144hz Display
Super-narrow bezels draw you deeper into the action on the 144Hz IPS-level display. The high refresh rate makes gameplay smoother and lowers input lag, while the 3ms gray-to-gray response time produces sharper visuals with no blurring.
Extra Gaming Features
Amp up your Audio
ROG Zephyrus S puts audio at the forefront with dual speakers aimed right at you. The resulting output is louder, with more bass and range that help you hear every sound.
Expansive Connections
ROG Zephyrus S has all the connectivity needed for gaming on the go. Type-C (USB-C) ports are available at USB 3.1 Gen 2 and Gen 1 speeds, while Type-A USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB 2.0 ports are perfect for a gamepad and mouse.
Comprehensive Cooling Coverage
The Zephyrus S automatically adjusts fan speeds based on CPU and GPU temperatures, and you can quickly toggle between three modes with a convenient function shortcut. With upgraded 12v fans and anti-dust tunnels, the cooling system on the Zephyrus S is prepared to tackle the latest games with ease.
AURA SYNC Beyond the Keyboard
The AURA SYNC keyboard ensures precise input in the heat of battle with n-key rollover and up to 20 million keypress durability. You can customize the backlight colors and effects to suit your style, and another configurable RGB zone illuminates the AAS intake at the back for ambient lighting.

Screen (5/5): The screen is bright, crisp, and quick. The 144 Hz. refresh rate and deep black level makes everything look beautiful.
GPU (5/5): The RTX 2080 handles everything I can throw at it and just keeps churning, but that's to be expected.
Cooling (5/5): Under full load, bench, and stress tests, the LT increases RPM fan speed as needed. Very quiet considering the amount of power it is using
Usefulness (5/5) : Both my GF and I travel and frequently work from home. This LT, in combination with my desktop, allows us to never miss out on productivity and fun. Whether it is gaming, rendering 3D images or any other CAD, it's a seamless transition.
I highly recommend!
Worthwhile mentions: All of the included ASUS software is extremely easy for the end user to navigate. Giving you as much control as you can handle.
While still being thin and light, it's easy to carry without breaking the back and still managing to pack a punch.
Asus seems to have solved the thermal throttling issue that would plague most other configurations with an i7-8750H and 2080 RTX MaxQ thanks to the unique cooling design that takes in air above and below the laptop surfaces, and ejecting heat to the back and sides.
Observation so far (a week into ownership) with regards to power management is that the 230 watt power brick or the power management system (windows firmware ) maybe inadequate for this particular configuration. While gaming on 1080p in Ultra settings on BF5 (ray tracing enabled), the battery will discharge below 90% and continue to do so even after quitting all intensive tasks and simply browsing or idling. The battery only begins to recharge after at least 30 minutes of idle activity. I do use a USB-c hub and plugging in an additional type C power source rectified the discharge problem.
Pros: Wicked fast. So fast that I really don't care that I am running windows. Hashcat benchmarks at 27G MD5/sec, 8M MD5crypt/sec, and 49G (!) NTLM/sec. that's at 63 deg C. This drives an Oculus Rift with some effort (fans), and I have only wittnessed heat induced framerate drops once, and the system had other apps running alongside the game (Gorn). I did some research and determined that this is 50% faster than the fastest computer in the world in June of 2001, which drew megawatts of power and filled a computer center. I don't mind the keyboard/trackpad arrangement but I also have used many awful keyboards across my nearly 40 years of using computers. The same goes for the screen. I see complaints about bleed here and there but, really, this screen is amazing. After some time getting it setup and getting used to windows I can honestly say that I am about 90% happy with it given what I paid. One more observation. For CUDA workloads this is 50% slower and 15% hotter than a Tesla V100 under real world workloads. It's also 1/4-1/3 cheaper than a V100 and runs right out of the box w/o suffering the indignity of installing the V100 in a suitable computer. I almost want to build a cluster of these laptops for teh lulz.

if it used for programming it's ok, not so noisy, however when you play game it's too noisy! need to use headset
