I WASN'T Expecting This! 2019 vs 2021 Gaming Laptops

Some of the best gaming laptops from 2021 have already been released but I wanted to take a step back and look at whether now's the best time to upgrade your gaming laptop. For that we took two identically priced and spec'd Zephyrus S17 laptops, one from 2019 and one from 2021 to test performance, battery life, gaming and creator apps. And the differences are HUGE!

Check out the S17 & other gaming notebooks on the ASUS AMAZON Store:
