 This 17-inchir combines the power of the Zen 3 AMD processors with the Ampere graphics from Nvidia. Seemed like an impossible marriage until recently, but it is not the only surprise this notebook has to offer. Watch on to see the great gaming performance and amazing battery life performance results. The ROG Strix G17 combines plastic and aluminum for a rather rigid build. Despite the initial impression of a clunky construction, this notebook feels quite compact considering the power it bears. It weighs 2.7 kilos and is 27.5 mm at its thickest. In addition, the keyboard feels good for gaming with its long key travel and clicky feedback. This is combined with a per-key RGB backlight. Respectively, the touchpad features a large area and is pretty comfortable to use. In terms of IO, you get a LAN port, HDMI 2.0B and a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen2 port with power delivery support and G-Sync compatible display port output. Also, there are three USB Type-A 3.2 ports, two of which are second-gen and one which is first-gen, plus an audio jack. Getting inside of the laptop is pretty easy and this gives you access to two RAM slots for up to 64 GB of memory and two M.2 PCIe X4 slots for storage. The G17 has three display options, two 1080p units with refresh rates of 144 Hz and 300 Hz respectively, as well as one 1440p 165 Hz panel. We have the 300 Hz model and it features wide viewing angles and a very good contrast ratio of 1270 to 1. Moreover, it has a great color representation with 95% of the sRGB gamut covered. Response times are also good, while the lack of PWM means you don't need to worry about eye strain after long gaming sessions. As for the sound quality, we found the speakers to be loud and deep. Few gaming laptops can boast long battery life, however, this one is an exclusion as you get more than 13 hours of web browsing or nearly nine and a half hours of video playback. To put it in perspective, this doubles the battery life of most of them. It actually competes with some ultrabooks on the market, wow! You can max out this device with the Ryzen 9 5900HX and the 130W RTX 3070. This notebook's cooling solution allows the RTX 3070 to maintain high clocks, which results in a frame rate of 70fps at ultra settings in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. In addition to that, you can play Call of Duty Modern Warfare with around 125fps at ultra settings. That's perfect for the fast pace of the game and bodes well with the 300 Hz refresh rate of the display. In conclusion, you get a 17-inch gaming machine that is surprisingly portable for its monstrous hardware, which shows amazing gaming performance without a big toll on noise levels. It also provides good comfort thanks to the gamer-centric keyboard. The super powerful CPU and the high quality display make the G17 suitable not just for gaming but also for content creating and other heavy tasks. Could you resist the temptation of not playing all day long?
