You can still do that with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15, you'll just need to pick up one of the best webcams if you want to do any video conferencing or Twitch streaming. This is purely a gaming laptop and isn't meant to be a work device, but especially for creatives or software developers, that line is getting really blurry, and a lot of professionals in these industries like to have the best of both worlds in one machine. The microphone is fantastic, with different sound profiles like omnidirectional and cartoid for streaming, recording a lecture, or in-game chat. (Image credit: Future) Webcam and microphoneĪnd this is where we hit a potentially deal breaking snag with an otherwise phenomenal gaming laptop. In Dirt 5 on ultra low settings without ray tracing, the ROG Zephyrus G15 hit 125 fps on average, 73 fps on average with ultra settings and no ray tracing, and 61 fps with ultra settings and ray tracing turned on. This is only just a few fps behind the Gigabyte Aero 17 running an RTX 3080. In Metro Exodus, it scores an average of 125 fps on low, 61 fps on ultra without ray tracing, and 52 fps on ultra with ray tracing turned on. In our Total War: Three Kingdoms benchmark, the ROG Zephyrus G15 pushes out 164 fps on low and 65 fps on ultra. It's a harder comparison to do apples-to-apples, but at least in the US, even the base model comes with the Ryzen 9 5900HS and is very well priced. The Ryzen 9 5900HS also puts up very respectable CPU performance scores, beating out some higher end gaming laptops running Core i7 processors that cost more money. A lot can be said for different drivers and settings, but this is still far and away the best performance we've seen from the mobile RTX 3070 yet.Īgainst the Gigabyte Aorus 17G, running an RTX 3070 with Max-Q, the ROG Zephyrus G15 came out ahead by a couple hundred points on all three 3DMark tests (43,645 to 42,646 21,211 to 20,024 and 9,333 to 9,078, respectively). In 3DMark, which pushes the laptop GPU to the limit, the TUF Dash F15 scores 30,505 on Night Raid, 17,025 on Firestrike, and 7,546 on Time Spy. They both run an RTX 3070 GPU, with the TUF Dash F15 powered by an Intel Core i7-11375H to the ROG Zephyrus G15's Ryzen 9. The TUF Dash F15 sells for about $1,449 (about £1,060, AU$1,890), compared to $1,799 for the ROG Zephyrus G15. Metro: Exodus (1080p): 125 fps (Low) 73 fps (Ultra)īattery Life (PCMark10 test): 8 hours 56 minutesīattery Life (TechRadar movie test): 8 hours 22 minutesīetween the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS and the RTX 3070, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 just crushes it in our benchmarks for both graphics and CPU performance.Ĭompared to its more affordable cousin, the Asus TUF Dash F15, the ROG Zephyrus G15 puts out a much greater level of performance for not a whole lot more money. Total War: Three Kingdoms (1080p): 164 fps (Low) 65 fps (Ultra) Here is how the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 performed in our suite of benchmark tests: The configuration we tested was just above the base model, coming in at $1,799, though it isn't specifically available in the UK or Australia at the moment. The high end configurations will set you back $2,499/£2,599/AU$3,899, which is definitely reasonable given the level of hardware they are packing. The other major difference is the GPU, with the base models starting with the Nvidia RTX 3060 and the top-end loaded up with an RTX 3080, with the RTX 3070 falling naturally in the middle. There are other configuration differences around RAM and SSD size, with the base models featuring 16GB RAM and 512GB SSDs, with the top-end configurations bumping this to 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. While in the US, each model features the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS, there are some midrange models in the UK that come with Ryzen 7 5800H CPUs, as does Australia's base model. All models come with the same 15.6-inch QHD (1440p), 165Hz, 3ms display. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 is available now, starting at $1,499 / £1,599 / AU$2,599. Ports: 2 x USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 (with DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery 3.0), 2 x USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 2, 1 x MicroSD, 1 x HDMI 2.0b, 1 x 3.5mm combo jack, 1 x RJ45 Ethernet, 1 x Kensington lock Here is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 configuration sent to TechRadar for review:
