Asus ROG Strix G15 review - a gaming powerhouse? 300Hz panel and RTX 3070. Nice. (2021 model)
2,659This is a review of the Asus ROG Strix G15, the 2021 model which includes a number of interesting features such a design enhancements, a larger trackpad, a bigger screen to body ratio and much an awesome spec too.
There are various models available, this is the G513. Which includes a 300Hz refresh rate, 1080p IPS panel with a 3 ms response time. And Nvidia RTX 3070 Max Q GPU and a Ryzen 7 5800H CPU.
Highlights are:
A beautiful screen with a fast refresh rate, vivid colours and great colour profiles
Powerful specs capable of running games at high frames
Connectivity to connect other monitors and still power them well (I used a Samsung Odyssey G7 32-inch and got great results)
A comfortable keyboard
On the fly adjustment for fan speed and RGB lighting
Quiet cooling under standard use and even under heavy load it's not massively taxing
Doesn't get super hot when gaming on the lap
Eye care screen adjustment is great for working
Battery power gives you about 5-6 hours of use
Even when on battery you can game with decent frames (I got 30-60FPS on Rainbow Six on battery) and you can play for upto an hour.
Lowlights:
Lacks USB ports
Lacks DisplayPort out except via USB-C
No webcam
Benchmarks:

Max settings = 60-70 FPS
Automatic scaling = 90-120FPS
Max settings on 1440P 32 inch Samsung G7 = 50-60 FPS

Temps got to 83 degrees on CPU same on GPU even with fans on max
HDR on there too!
Rainbow Six Siege:
Max settings on G7 = 180-200 FPS!
