ASUS has unveiled impressive new 13, 14 and 15-inch "thin and light" laptops with its most compact designs ever, featuring enviable four-sided frameless NanoEdge displays for "near-borderless visuals" alongside its NumberPad innovation.

Proudly boasting of the world's thinnest gaming laptop with ultrafast 144Hz 15.6-inch display in a 14.2-inch chassis and powerful NVIDIA graphics choices, the Zephyrus S is also joined by its bigger brother, the Strix Scar II with 17.3-inch screen in a 15.7-inch body that's less than 400mm wide.
