POWER MEETS PORTABILITY Within a lightweight and ultra-slim metal frame, the new ROG Zephyrus M fuses well-rounded performance with an exhilarating Windows 10 gaming experience. The latest 9th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060 GPU blaze through serious work and play, while up to 1TB of RAID 0 SSD storage provides ultra-fast load times across a vast library of games and apps. Immerse yourself in the 240Hz/3ms IPS-level display with super-narrow bezels, and go deeper with Hi-Res ESS Sabre audio.
SLEEK, STRONG, AND ULTRA-SLIM The impressively lightweight form belies heavyweight power. At 18.9mm thin and 1.9kg, the Zephyrus M GU502 is 25% thinner and 45% lighter than typical 15’’ laptops. But it refuses to compromise between work and play, delivering dynamic performance and refined styling that’s truly the best of both worlds. Its sleek, reinforced metal chassis makes it resilient against everyday use and wear, while the subtle, soft-touch skin along the palm rest keeps it looking clean and professional for work anywhere.
STRENGTH WITHOUT THE WEIGHT Forged from a special magnesium-aluminum alloy, the chassis is machined down to exceptional thinness while maintaining the strength and durability needed for everyday use.
SUBTLE YET STRIKING The streamlined design stuns in its details. Contrasting brush finishes slice across the lid, dovetailing precisely with the strategic cut that frees airflow out the back. Subtle diamond cuts chamfer the exterior edges and dig deeper near the touchpad to let you open the laptop effortlessly with one finger. The ROG logo glows fire red, creating a striking visual contrast against the brushed black metal.
OVERACHIEVE WITH SPEED Speed, power, and portability achieve a perfect balance in the well-rounded ROG Zephyrus M. Its ultra-slim frame houses a powerful 9th gen Intel® Core i7-9750H CPU with NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 2060 graphics that can reach 1435MHz at 90W in Turbo mode. With up to 32GB of DDR4-2666 RAM and 1TB of speedy RAID 0 SSD storage, you can blaze through everyday work and multitasking faster, with lightning-fast load times even for heavy duty apps and large games. The ROG Zephyrus M slices through anything you throw at it.
DO MORE ON THE MOVE Longer battery life makes true portability a reality in the versatile ROG Zephyrus M. Unplug and take full advantage of its easy-to-carry form factor with up to 8 hours of battery life* on a single charge. NVIDIA Optimus technology improves efficiency by intelligently turning off the discrete GPU when dedicated graphics power isn’t required, giving you more battery life for everyday work and productivity without slowing gaming performance. *Performance may vary based on system configuration. Battery life tested with NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060 GPU, Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU, 240Hz display, and 16GB of DDR4 SDRAM
TAP INTO PORTABLE TYPE-C POWER USB Power Delivery supports secondary charging from portable power packs, so you don't have to fight for a socket when the battery gets low. Fast-charging support reverses the direction, using up to 3A to quickly rejuvenate smartphones and other devices. If you’re not loading the CPU or discrete GPU with intensive tasks, you can use a smaller adapter up to 65W that lightens your load on the road. *USB power pack and Type-C adapter sold separately *65W Type-C adapter available as a bundled accessory in select regions
TRUE COLOR AND SPEED ON DISPLAY Outstanding colors and smooth gameplay unite in the vibrant 240Hz/3ms IPS-level display. The 15.6-inch panel is framed by slim 6.2-mm bezels, creating an 81% screen-to-body ratio that feels expansive. Combining full sRGB coverage with wide viewing angles makes the screen ideal for showcasing visual projects and media. The fast 240Hz refresh rate enables true high-FPS gameplay, while the 3ms grey-to-grey response time ensures crisper, clearer graphics even during intense, fast-paced matches.
HEAR ESS® SABRE AUDIO ROAR Rarify your headphone experience by plugging in to the premium ESS® Sabre HiFi digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with Hi-Res Audio certification. The DAC delivers broader dynamic range with less distortion, giving you richer, clearer highs and lows, and you can immerse deeper with virtual 7.1-channel surround sound. Sans headset, the Zephyrus M’s Smart Amp-powered speakers let you to turn up the volume for more bass and dynamic range, without damaging the cones or compromising sound quality.
THE KEYS TO CUSTOMIZATION Type in style with a desktop-inspired keyboard made for gaming. Function keys are spaced and grouped for easy identification alongside dedicated hot keys that keep essential commands within easy reach.

INTELLIGENT COOLING IMPROVES YOUR EXPERIENCE ROG's Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the best experience for each chassis and components, no matter what you’re doing. The Zephyrus M's self-cleaning thermal module ejects dust to improve longevity, dual n-Blade fans spin 83 blades each to increase airflow, and ultra-thin fins expand the surface area for heat dissipation. ROG Armoury Crate software seamlessly switches between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task.
COMPREHENSIVE CONNECTIVITY The ROG Zephyrus M has the connections you need for work and play. Alongside the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C™ with DisplayPort™ 1.4 and Power Delivery, there’s a Type-A port for ultra-fast data transfers, and two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports for must-have gear.
