Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LI Laptop Review: $1000 USD for GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Graphics is Too Much

Low performance-per-dollar. Laptops running on GeForce RTX 2060 graphics these days are beginning to retail for about $1000 to $1200 USD, but Asus' ROG Strix G15 G512LI comes with the slower GTX 1650 Ti for almost the same price. Where is all that money going towards?

Allen Ngo 👁, Published 07/19/2020 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 ...

Asus has been be adding G14, G15, and G17 suffixes to many of its gaming laptops this year so buyers can more easily identify the 14-inch, 15.6-inch, and 17.3-inch screen sizes, respectively. The new ROG Strix G15 G512 series is essentially the more inexpensive version of the ROG Strix GL531/G531 series available since 2019.

SKUs range from the Core i5-10300H CPU with GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics and a 144 Hz 1080p display up to the Core i7-10875H with RTX 2070 Super graphics and a 240 Hz 1080p display. Our unit in review is a lower-end configuration with the Core i7-10750H, GTX 1650 Ti, and 144 Hz panel for approximately $1000 to $1100 USD retail. The official specifications for the 15.6-inch G512 series and 17.3-inch G712 series can be found here.

Competitors are plentiful as the 15.6-inch budget-midrange segment is filled with options like the Gigabyte Aorus 15G, MSI GP65 or GF65, HP Pavilion Gaming 15, Lenovo Legion Y540-15, and the Dell G5 15 series.

Case

Take the ROG G531, replace its metal materials with plastic, and you'll have yourself the ROG G15 G512. The G512 looks and feels cheaper to the touch when compared to the G531 even though it carries almost the exact same visual design. Chassis rigidity, however, doesn't seem all that much worse than the G531. The base remains relatively strong while the lid is still more flexible than we would like.

Asus Keystone is not compatible with this machine as Asus is adamant about this lesser-known feature appearing on higher-end ROG laptops only.

Because of its extended rear, the Strix G15 G512 is larger than many other gaming laptops including the Dell G5 15 SE, MSI GP65, and even's Asus' own TUF A15. Thankfully, the system isn't necessarily all that heavier at 2.3 kg to be about average for its price range and category.

The rear is large, but it should allow for better cooling on paper

Connectivity

Port positioning is odd for a laptop as there are none along the right edge while all the USB-A ports are along the left edge only. This was probably done to appease gamers who are more likely to want desk space for a mouse and mousepad on the right side of the laptop. Thunderbolt 3 is not supported.

Communication

The Intel AX201 comes standard on all SKUs for Wi-Fi 6 compatibility. We experienced no connectivity issues when paired to our Netgear RAX200 test router.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is easy to remove with a simple Phillips screwdriver. However, the panel is attached to the motherboard via two delicate ribbon cables that should be handled with care. Upgrading RAM, storage, or WLAN is a simple process.

Be careful not to break the two ribbons connecting the bottom panel to the motherboard

Accessories and Warranty

There are no included extras in the box other than the AC adapter and usual paperwork. The standard one-year limited warranty applies.

Input Devices

Keyboard

Layout and feedback are identical to the keyboard on the GL531 and so our existing comments apply here. We especially like that the system features a row of dedicated multimedia keys along the top and a dedicated column of PgUp and PgDn keys along the right edge as many other laptops tend to ignore these keys.

Touchpad

The touchpad is slightly smaller than the one of the MSI GE65 (11 x 6.3 cm vs. 10.9 x 6 cm). Cursor control is reliable with no issues, but gliding is stickier than we would like especially at low-medium speeds. Meanwhile, the dedicated mouse buttons are some of the quietest we've seen on any gaming laptop in contrast to the louder and "clickier" keys on the MSI GE65.

Same keyboard as on the G531 but with 4-zone RGB lighting instead of per-key RGB

The mouse buttons are quiet when pressed with average feedback

Key clatter is slightly louder than on the GE65, but feedback is otherwise satisfactory and Ultrabook-like

Display

Asus deploys the same Panda LM156LF-2F01 IPS panel for both the TUF A15 FA506IV and our ROG Strix G15 G512LI. Although the native 144 Hz refresh rate is notable, response times are average and contrast is middling at only about 500:1 with below-average color reproduction for shallow colors overall. This is a budget gaming panel when compared to the Sharp panels used on the Strix Scar III G531GW. Fortunately, Asus offers a higher-end 240 Hz/3 ms option for this chassis.

* ... smaller is better

Color space is narrow at just 60 percent of sRGB to be indicative of a budget display. These results are in line with what we recorded on the Asus TUF A15 FA506IV while pricier gaming models like the ROG G531 tend to cover sRGB almost completely for deeper and more accurate colors.

Further measurements with a colorimeter reveal an overly cool color temperature out of the box. Calibrating the display ourselves addresses the issue, but color accuracy would remain almost the same due to the limited color space mentioned above.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
27.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 15.6 ms rise
27.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 64 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 18.4 ms rise
33.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 15.2 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 36 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19035 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is average at best when under shade since this laptop was not designed to be used outdoors frequently. The narrow hinge angle discourages outdoor use as well.

Wide IPS viewing angles. Contrast and color degradation is present from extreme angles

Performance

Asus offers surprisingly high GPU options of up to the RTX 2070 Super for what is ultimately a mid-range chassis at best. Users looking for Core i9, AMD Ryzen, or RTX 2080 options will have to look outside of the G512 series and into the TUF series or mothership ROG series.

Keep in mind that our measurements and numbers below reflect only our configuration in review. Higher-end SKUs with the more powerful RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 Super will likely run louder and/or warmer than what we've recorded here.

Nvidia Optimus comes standard with no G-Sync options.

Processor

The Core i7-10750H is performing where we expect it to be relative to other laptops in our database with the same processor. Multi-thread performance will be about 10 to 30 percent faster than the last generation Core i7-9750H depending on the laptop in question while being slightly slower than the competing Ryzen 5 4600H. Upgrading to the octa-core Core i7-10875H will net about 25 percent faster performance.

See our dedicated page on the Core i7-10750H for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

Storage Devices

The Strix G15 supports up to three M.2 SSDs which is more than what most other budget gaming laptops have to offer. The Intel 660p in our unit is a budget NVMe drive with mediocre transfer rates when compared to the more expensive Samsung PM981 series. Even so, it's still leagues faster than any SATA III alternatives.

See our table of HDDs and SSDs for more benchmark comparisons.

Two additional empty M.2 bays for expansion

GPU Performance

The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is most comparable to the last generation mobile GTX 1060. Upgrading to the GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060, or RTX 2070 Super SKUs will net users approximately 45 percent, 60 percent, and 110 percent faster graphics performance, respectively.

See our dedicated page on the GTX 1650 Ti for more technical information and benchmark comparisons. The GTX 1650 Ti is generally not fast enough to run most games at 144 FPS, but you don't need to run games at 144 FPS to exploit the advantages of a 144 Hz monitor.

Emissions

System Noise

Much like what we discovered on some other Asus gaming laptops, fan noise is never actually silent even when set to "silent" mode. We're able to record a fan noise of 34 dB(A) against a background of 27.7 dB(A) despite having no applications running. Most other gaming laptops are able able to remain quieter for longer than our Asus as shown by the comparison table below.

Fan noise tops out at 48 to 49 dB(A) when running high loads like gaming on Turbo mode. If on Performance mode, fan noise becomes just slightly quieter at 46.2 dB(A). These results are about normal for a gaming laptop of this size.

Twin ~45 mm fans and two copper heat pipes

Annoyingly, fans are always active even when set to Silent mode

Two accessible SODIMM slots for up to 32 GB DDR4-3200

We can notice some slight electronic noise or coil whine from our unit, but the constant fan noise is enough to overwhelm it
