With a body that is only 19.9 mm thick and at a weight of just 2.6 kg, the ROG Zephyrus S17 is comparatively thin and light for a gaming laptop. Since the frame of the 17” display is also very narrow, the case size has been reduced to the equivalent of a 15” device. When the lid is opened, the keyboard is raised at the back, allowing for an ergonomic hand position and improving airflow at the bottom of the body in favour of more effective cooling.
