The newest ultrabook is always complicated task: the thinner they become, the less space for ventilation of heat-generating components; at the same time, the more powerful they become, the greater the need for high-quality thermobifida. ASUS tried to solve this age-old problem in its new product: ROG gaming ultrabook Zephyrus GX501 presented during Computex 2017. In the new device the company has tried to combine a top iron, an innovative cooling system and compact dimensions in the framework of Max-Q of NVIDIA.

To remove the heat in ROG Zephyrus GX501 use the following method: when folding the screen open the bottom cover of the laptop.
