Asus ROG Strix G15 (2021)

Price: £1,499 (inc VAT) from fave.co/3A5Kzwm

It’s no secret that Asus has an extensive range of gaming laptops – and that they’re usually pretty good. The firm’s latest 2021 release is the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513, and it combines Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics with a top-tier AMD Ryzen processor.

You’d think that such hardware would be pricey, but that’s not the case. In the UK, the G15 costs a surprising £1,499, and it also includes a 1080p display with a 300Hz refresh rate.

DESIGN

There are no surprises when it comes to the G15’s design. This machine combines grey plastic with some more extravagant touches: vast sections are covered with a pattern made from the ROG letters, and the per-key RGB LED lighting on the keyboard is paired with lighting around the base.

The hinge has a black ROG logo, and different versions of the G15 use grey or red panels instead.
