The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 30 °C / 86 F and are therefore cool to the touch. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options.

The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unfold its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the last generation. Especially the impressive 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generously sized TDP give gamers their money's worth. As can be seen in the 3DMark benchmarks, the graphics card deploys its performance very well and places itself at the top in most benchmarks. This is no surprise, because the potential of the RTX 3070 in the MSI GS66 Stealth and the RTX 3080 in the ROG Zephyrus G15 is more limited due to their lower TDP. The fact that the 130-watt RTX 3080 in the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE tends to be slightly faster is also in line with our expectations. Our configuration of the Strix G15 G513 is equipped with a matte Full HD IPS panel with a refresh rate of 300 Hz. Alternatively, a WQHD panel (2560x1440, also matte) at 165 Hz is also available. It's arguable whether this will result in recognizable advantages in terms of sharpness in a display size of only 15.6 inches, although the 300 Hz of the Full HD panel could be regarded in a similarly critical way outside of hectic shooter games. Furthermore, both panels support Adaptive Sync. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 18% of all devices are better.Cinebench R15 | Blender | 7-Zip 18.03 | Cinebench R20 | Geekbench 5.2 - 5.5 | HWBOT x265 Benchmark v2.2 | LibreOffice | R Benchmark 2.5 Cinebench R15 Eyes shut, buy this machine if you are a gamer.

Zones: Group keys together into color zones. You can only assign an individual key to one zone at a time. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but the equipment leaves a lot to be desired.

The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 37.8 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the devices in the class Gaming. What I really like about the Strix G15 is the nice balance between resolution and refresh rate, giving the user the best of both worlds. In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.1 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F. The Asus ROG Strix G15 is an impressive set of tools that are built tough and powerful enough to do the light work of modern gaming.
