Asus ROG Zephyrus g15

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 is easily one of the best gaming laptops on the market right now. Thanks to the latest AMD Ryzen 9 and Nvidia RTX 3070 hardware, you get desktop-replacement performance paired with fantastic battery life and a genuinely stylish design, something few gaming laptops can claim. So it comes within a hair's breath of true desktop replacements running desktop-quality hardware while keeping the price reasonable.

FEATURES

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 comes with one of the best mobile processors, the Ryzen 9 5900HS, and is paired with Nvidia's latest mobile RTX 3060, RTX 3070, and RTX 3080 GPUs, offering some of the highest framerates you can get on the go. The ROG Zephyrus G15 sounds great as well, thanks to two top-firing speakers on either side of the keyboard, which is unfortunately tenkeyless. The ROG Zephyrus G15 also lacks a webcam, so for those looking to both work and play on their new machine, you're going to need a separate camera. Essentially, the ROG Zephyrus G15 is a pure gaming machine.

 ASUS is bringing two variants of the ROG Zephyrus G15 to India. You get to choose between either the AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS or the Ryzen 9 5900HS. For GPU, you can get the Zephyrus G15 with either Nvidia RTX 3060 or an RTX 3070, both configured with 80W TDP.

PERFORMANCE

The Ryzen 9 5900HS is an absolute beast of a CPU with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 16MB L3 cache. The base clock speed of the 5900HS is 3.3Ghz and it can go up to 4.6Ghz under load via Turbo. In single-core scenarios, the 35W Ryzen 9 5900HS will sit anywhere between 3.5Ghz to 4.0Ghz. However, the clock rate will settle at around 4.0Ghz when all the cores are fired up. In Cinebench R20, Zephyrus G15 managed to score 563 pts in the single-core test and 5106 pts in the multi-core test. It turned out to be better than the laptops powered by Intel's Comet Lake CPU in this case.

DISPLAY

The Zephyrus G15 comes with a 15.6-inch 1440p panel with support for up to 165Hz and 3ms response time. 1440p looks noticeably more crisp than 1080p panels and ASUS decided to take it up a notch by adding a higher refresh rate and a color calibrated panel.

BATTERY LIFE

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is packed with a 90Whr battery inside that charges via a typical barrel charger. Wanting to buy a gaming laptop with good battery life is considered to be wishful thinking but the Zephyrus G15 proves otherwise. In PCMark 10's battery life test, the Zephyrus G15 managed to last for 6 hours and 20 minutes at peak brightness.

PRICE

Its price range starts from 1.4 lakhs.
