ASUS G501vw-Fi074t

The ASUS ROG G501VW-FI074T is one of the slimmest and lightest gaming notebooks on the market: it weighs just 2.06 kg and is a mere 21.3 mm thick at its widest point. To ensure durability despite these dimensions, the entire chassis is made of anodized aluminum. For optimal control during gaming, it features a backlit special keyboard with a key travel of just 1.6 mm and marked WASD keys.

The display immerses you in the action with its UHD/4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, delivering stunning detail. The necessary graphics performance is provided by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 4 GB of GDDR5 video memory. Combined with the sixth-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512 GB SSD with ultra-fast PCIe 3.0 x4 connectivity, nothing stands in the way of an uninterrupted gaming experience.

With 1000 Mbps LAN and WLAN according to the 802.11ac standard, data exchange and internet access in local networks are fast and straightforward, whether wired or wireless. Three USB ports are available for your peripherals and storage devices. The HDMI port allows you to connect to external monitors, projectors, or TVs. You also won't miss out on an SD card reader. A special highlight is the Thunderbolt 3 port.

The Thunderbolt 3 port is the fast all-rounder among peripheral interfaces: it has the same form factor as the current USB Type-C port and is therefore easily compatible with your USB Type-C devices. Its speed leaves other peripheral connections far behind: it is 83 times faster than USB 2.0, 8 times faster than USB 3.0, and twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2. This allows for the connection of numerous peripherals in series, as well as the most hardware-intensive expansions—from 4K monitors to external graphics cards.
