The Asus Zephyrus M GM501 (Zephyrus M GM501 Series) 2TB / 64GB is ASUS's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 20 x 384 x 261 ( = 0.79 x 15.12 x 10.28 in) display, the Intel Core i7-8750H 6c/12t 6 x 2.2 - 4.1 GHz, Coffee Lake-H chipset. At AED 1,999 in the UAE and ₹49,990 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Asus Zephyrus M GM501 excels with its Intel Core i7-8750H and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile with 8GB GDDR5 VRAM, delivering sustained 1080p gaming and creative workloads. Its 32GB DDR4-2666 RAM in dual-channel mode ensures smooth multitasking, while the 55Wh battery offers ~5 hours under load. The 2TB SSD provides ample storage, and the Thunderbolt 3 port enables high-speed peripherals. This machine suits professionals running 3D rendering, video encoding, or virtual machines who need local power without cloud reliance. Its weakness is thermals: under heavy use, the fan noise spikes and CPU throttles after 20 minutes, limiting sustained performance. Weight at 2.51kg makes it less portable than ultrabooks. In UAE at AED 1999, it’s good value because you get a high-end 2018 gaming rig at near-clearance pricing. In India at ₹49990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 7 laptops with RTX 3050 offer better efficiency and warranty for similar cost.
