An EPIC Ryzen Laptop - ROG Zephyrus G15 Review
Рет қаралды 406,490
Күн бұрынThe ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502 might be one of of the absolute BEST gaming laptops we've every reviewed and tested. With a Ryzen 9 5900HS and RTX 3080 it has performance to destroy benchmarks and the G15 battery life is super impressive too. But with the G15 price and availability big questions, can this actually be the perfect Ryzen gaming laptop in 2021?

That's honestly why I originally bought a G14, since 95% of the time I spend with a laptop is for casual use around the house or on the go. Extra GPU horsepower is nice to have during the odd occasion that I travel, and it just needs to be "good enough" to access my full library. There are better ultrabooks/general-use laptops, but a lot of them have poorly tuned thermals/clocks for when I do wanna game (learned the hard way that you can't just buy an ultrabook with a dedicated GPU and expect it to not throttle during gaming), and the G14 is still good enough as an ultrabook for everyday use.

A fantastic machine, and professionally well-done video. Thanks. Regard memory upgrade, theoretically one should be able to insert a 32GB module in the empty slot for a total of 48GB RAM, no? Is the old-school-of-thought still prevail that both modules should be similarly paired (i.e., 16+16) or does that not matter so much any longer on modern day machines? I also am quite disappointed that ASUS fails to include web camera to the top of the screen. When I do video conference calls, it's just an added inconvenience to have to hook up an external web camera for the same function which should be easily included in the screen cover chassis.

Did you test the color accuracy before or after disabling/removing the default Asus Armoury Crate color correction service? Don’t know which is more accurate for my G14 laptop. Thanks for the review!

So I think a pretty common use case for high-end gaming laptops is a desktop replacement, i.e. plugging into an external monitor(s) at home (90% of the time), and using the internal screen for the road. This is especially true for laptops with optimus where you can see a ~10% performance bump by circumventing the on-board graphics. So it would be nice to see external 1440p or 4k monitor performance for games.

To my ear the "Stereo" mode for the microphone sounds the best; yes it picks up a bit of backround noise, but otherwise, really impressive.
