Design and exterior
As mentioned earlier, the Zephyrus G maintains the design lines of the higher-tier Zephyrus M and S models. In fact, from the outside, it looks just the same, as it gets the same brushed-aluminum lid with the panel-lit ROG logo and boxy shape. On the inside, though, the magnesium main-deck has been replaced with a plastic shell, and plastic is also used for the underbelly.
It’s a good quality plastic, though, with a matte rugged texture, and the construction doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy in any way, even if the chassis bends a little easier when pressing hard in the middle of the keyboard deck. The plastic does show smudges easier than the magnesium finishing on the M and S lines, so you’ll have to wipe it clean more often. That aside, though, the interior keeps the rectangular shape with tapered edges and the annoying status LEDs and always-lit power button placed beneath the screen, but unlike the other variants, there’s an air-intake grill at the top of the keyboard, which suggests a redesigned thermal module, and we’ll get to talk about it in a further section.
As far as practicality goes, this Zephyrus G is still one of the sturdier units in its class, as well as one of the most compact and lightest, at just over 4.5 lbs, so it can be an excellent option for those interested in lugging their laptop to school or work every day. I still suggest using a protective sleeve though, as the lid is not as strong as the main chassis. Pressing on it doesn’t push ripples into the panel, but I’d rather be extra careful in order to prevent surprises.
