If you are in the market for a middle-of-the-range gaming laptop, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is now back to its lowest price of US$1,099.99 at Best Buy. The rate represents a US$520 discount on the US$1,619.99 list price (via slickdeals).
Powered by a Zen 3+ Ryzen 9 6900HS processor, an RTX 3060 GPU, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, and 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is a stellar machine. We gave the laptop a “good” rating of 84% in our review of the RTX 3080 and Ryzen 9 5900HS-equipped variant.
In particular, we were impressed with the lightweight and slim chassis that also managed to exhibit excellent craftsmanship. We were also fond of the excellent CPU and GPU performance, as the combination of a Ryzen 9 5900HS and an RTX 3080 proved powerful enough to drive most tested games beyond 60 FPS at FHD/Ultra. The device also pushed acceptable frame rates at QHD.
The Ryzen 9 6900HS and the RTX 3060 laptop featured in the ROG Zephyrus G15 under discussion will lag behind in GPU performance while comfortably topping our review device in CPU bound tasks. The RTX 3060 laptop is, on average, 25% slower than the RTX 3080 laptop in 3DMark TimeSpy Graphics benchmark according to our tests.
Moving on to the display, the WQHD panel on the ROG Zephyrus G15 has excellent color reproduction, as it covers 100%, 97%, and 86% of the sRGB, DCI-P3, and AdobeRGB color gamut respectively. It also boasts a speedy 165 Hz refresh rate and more than 300 nits of peak brightness.
Long story short, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is a worthy mid-range gaming laptop and seems to be a pretty good buy for US$1,099.99.
