 The ROG Strix G15 is probably the most recognizable gaming laptop on the market, thanks to its performance-oriented nature. This lineup is always one of the first, if not the first to get the latest and greatest from Intel, AMD and Nvidia without draining your bank account at the same time. This time around, the latest refresh, called G513R, brings us ultra-fast AMD processors, up to Ryzen 9, 6900HX and the high-end RTX 3080 Ti from Nvidia. But that's not all. The interesting part is behind the spec sheet, and today, we'll tell you why the new ROG Strix G15 2022 is the perfect gaming laptop. Despite the powerful GPU and CPU options, the laptop weighs only 2.3 kilos, and our wild guess is that 20% of that goes for the RGB illumination. Yes, there are a lot of light effects, but as the gaming saying goes, you can never have too much RGB. As expected, the keyboard is comfortable and has long 1.9mm travel. Plus, you have customizable hotkeys some distance around the arrow keys and a pretty large touchpad for those savages who play without a mouse. Here, you get a total of 4 USB ports, 2 type A's on the left and 2 type C's on the back. One of them supports DisplayPort 1.4 with G-Sync and power delivery for on-the-go charging. Furthermore, there is an HDMI 2.0 B connector, as well as a 2.5 gigabit LAN port for lag-free gaming. Although we doubt that you'll have any issues with the integrated Wi-Fi 6E module. The ROG Strix G15 comes with two Sodom slots which work with DDR5 memory, a solid upgrade from last year's DDR4. As for the storage, there are two M.2 PCIe X4 slots with Gen4 support.

This laptop can be found with a 144 or 300Hz 1080p or a 165Hz 1440p IPS display. Of course, we got ourselves the last one, which should be the sweet spot for portable gaming. It comes with wide viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and thankfully, no PWM across all brightness levels making it safe for long gaming sessions. Gamers will be really happy to hear that the 165Hz refresh rate is paired with very quick pixel response times. Actually, ASUS has built this laptop for more than just the gamers out there. It not only covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut, but also 98% of the DCI-P3 digital cinema standard, which makes it suitable for professional work. The laptop comes with a huge 90Wh battery unit, which lasts for 11 hours of web browsing or more than 8 hours of video playback. This is an outstanding result for a gaming machine. The new ROG Strix G15 shows no slack. The top-tier configuration includes a Ryzen 9 6900HX and an RTX 3080 Ti with 16GB of memory and 150W TGP. This is 20W more compared to the last year's model. The secret is in the cooling system, but we'll show it to you in a minute. We decided to test a configuration equipped with the 140W version of the RTX 3060. It's a great middle ground as it can run the Witcher 3 at ultra details with more than 100fps. One of the most beautiful games out there, Battlefield V, runs at max settings with about 150fps at 1080p. Even after we've played for more than 30 minutes, the warmest spot on the keyboard reached just 37°C. How's that possible? First, the CPU uses liquid metal instead of traditional thermal compound. And second, Asus has upgraded the ArcFlow fans with 84 curved blades compared to the 71 blade solution in the previous generation. As you see, Asus could have just upgraded to the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs, but instead the engineering team has worked hard in order to polish every little detail. For example, everyone can see the impressive spec sheet, but many could miss the fact that Asus gave the ROG Strix G15 a MUX switch, which lets the dedicated GPU communicate directly with the display, improving the performance by about 20%. These are the things that make the difference. So it's not just about the marketing and sales. It's about making the perfect gaming notebook. Of course, we've done a lot more tests and you can check out all the results in our in-depth review on laptopmedia.com. You'll find the link in the description below the video.
