Reviews for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-PH96

100% [Almost] The Winner: GA502IV-PH96 ROG Zephyrus G15
Source: PCR English
As I mentioned earlier, this Zephyrus G15 GA502 is definitely a steal. It’s slightly thicker than an Ultrabook but you will be getting way more power with this device. Furthermore, it’s pretty difficult to find a gaming laptop that has the specs and quality like this one has for the 1300 dollars price range (price can change quickly). Especially the 240Hz screen and 1TB SSD storage. In closing, if you value portability, sleekness, and power in a gaming laptop, this laptop is the best choice for the price. It is so sleek yet has a lot of power right out of the gate. I value a very portable gaming laptop that is not bulky and gigantic that can make it unpleasant to carry it around. This ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-PH96 can provide that ultimate portability, and a whole lot more.

R9 4900HS: Mobile Octa-Core APU using Zen 2 cores clocked at 3 to 4.3 GHz and a Vega graphics card with probably 7 CUs. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


100%: This model is obviously considered exceptional by the testers. There are almost no laptops that are rated this well. If the reviews or the sources that give these ratings are to be taken seriously, then it is a very clear buy recommendation. Unfortunately, sometimes top scores are also squandered.
