New feature proposals

The one real draw back is the high value. The real magic of the GamePad is in the way it interacts with video games. It excels in CPU and GPU efficiency and dishes up persistently smooth and detailed visuals in AAA games on its 4K show. In our Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark, our Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 with Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU set to 140W topped the field, edging out the Asus ROG Zephyrus X13 with Ryzen eight 5980HS CPU and RTX 3080 GPU set at 150W. It also proved superior to the Adata XPG 15KC with GeForce RTX 3070 set at 145W - the mix of the S17’s i9-11900H processor and RTX 3080 GPU making gentle work of the workload in the RoTTR preset. Cinebench’s single-threaded benchmark scores show only minimal difference amongst laptops (representative of mainstream applications), nonetheless, the S17’s multi-threaded score ranked the S17 the second highest amongst our comparison laptops, proving its suitability for prime-finish gaming and CPU demanding tasks like 3D video editing. That’s sufficient for nearly all Mac laptops to cost at full velocity or while in use.
