a Thunderbolt 3 port, which does not only enable the use of eGPUs (at least in theory), but also supports DisplayPort and USB 3.1 Type C

Hi,

What is the RAM configuration on the GM501, 1x16GB or 2x9GB?

Also, what is the WiFi card? I’m hoping it’s the Intel 9560

For those who are interested, The Zephyrus M comes with an empty RAM slot and a single 16Gb RAM SO DIMM in the other slot.

Nice laptop! I'm scouting for this also - but I'm going to wait till GST 0-rated to see how things shake out. I'm hoping there's stock - so I'll leave that up to luck.

Coming from a desktop user - you don't need the exact same RAM to enable dual-channel. As long as the RAMs match capacity/speed/latency - it should work. Based on the part number - I dug out the spec sheet of the ram: SK_Hynix_DDR4-2666_VK_spec

It is a 1.2V, DDR4-2666, with timing 19-19-19. Look for RAMs with those voltage, speed, timing and you'll be fine. One example is this one from Crucial: Crucial SO-DIMM

That Crucial website is damn nice - it actuallys lets you search for RAM by laptop model - so you can find all sorts of RAM that works with the GM501. I wouldn't go for the high-performance Ballistix Sport range, unless you wanna replace both sticks. Their timing is much better 16-16-16 - but you'll need 2 sticks - and a damn lot of money.

Okay...after digging through websites for Crucial/Corsair/Patriot/Kingston/G.Skill - I think I know why you can't directly find the SK Hynix brand RAM - that's because they are the memory supplier but they supply to Corsair/Patriot/Kingston/G.Skill to be repackaged as OEMs.

I browsed through Lazada/Shopee to see prices of these RAMs - some Kingston HyperX Impact modules are selling RM775 only - which is really nice coz they come with heat sinks some more. Some bare (no-heatsink) budget sticks are much more expensive ohmy.gif

This thing is so very low on stock and very high in demand - so every unit that arrives in this country is sold.

No way we’re getting a demo unit.

I’m at least glad they’re brought into Malaysia. Other companies like Gigabyte and Razer don’t even bother with the Malaysian market

Ordered the identical RAM off eBay. Looked for similarly spec-ed SODIMMs off Lazada but oddly, they were more expensive. Only thing is, it's presently a holiday in the US (Memorial Day) so it will only ship tomorrow..... but no real hurry...

Wow, I didn’t expect eBay would be cheaper with shipping included - but that’s a great find! I’ll need to check this out too
