The Zephyrus G15 is a fast gaming notebook with understated looks and excellent battery life, at a reasonable price point. It used to be that notebooks carried a big premium to afford portability. However, considering the odd times in which we live, where discrete desktop parts are in high demand and routinely sell for more than twice their MSRP, a gaming notebook like the Zephyrus G15 might just be the most economical way to upgrade. Those of you in the market for a speedy, stylish system with great graphics and CPU chops, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is definitely one to consider.

The G15’s secret weapon is its processor. All models have AMD’s monstrous eight-core Ryzen 9 5900HS. My test model, priced at $1,799.99, pairs that chip with Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 3070 (an 80W version, with dynamic boost up to 100W), as well as 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. This configuration is a step above the base model, which includes an RTX 3060 and 512GB of storage. There are also two RTX 3080 models — pair it with 16GB of RAM for $1,999.99 or 32GB of RAM for $2,499.99. (I think my test model hits a sweet spot: 512GB of storage isn’t a lot for a gaming laptop, and it seems like the RTX 3080 models are fairly low-clocked and don’t perform hugely better than the lower-tier options.)

The 4.2 lb / 1.9kg laptop has a magnesium alloy lid and keyboard deck, a chill and premium design with plenty of ports, yet is priced significantly below competitors like the Razer Blade 15 Advanced and MSI GS66 Stealth. We look at the Best Buy config that’s $1,799 and packs the AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5900HS processor, a 2560 x 1440 QHD calibrated 100% P3 display, NVIDIA RTX 3070 graphics, 16GB DDR4 dual channel RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It’s also available with the RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM. You can get it in our Eclipse Gray or Moonlight White.

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.
