Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition: This all-AMD laptop is affordable and very fast

The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition gets all A’s: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, AMD Radeon RX 6800M, and AMD Advantage, meaning it’s the first machine to meet AMD guidelines designed to make midrange gaming laptops better. And yes, it’s made by Asus, too.

We’ll say this as a public service announcement right now: If you’re on the hunt for an affordable yet stupidly fast laptop on a medium budget, you may want to skip the rest of this and simply buy the Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition right now ($1,650 at Best Buy [go.pcworld.com/16bb]) because of its stunning price-to-performance ratio. But if you prefer to be a little more cautious and actually finish reading this review, we’ll break down what’s inside.

SPECIFICATIONS

Asus doesn’t skimp with the ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition. Considering the price, the 16GB of DDR4/3200 RAM and 512GB NVMe SSD are solid components, actually very typical of this price range. If they’re not enough for you, both could be upgraded at a later date. Heck, the laptop even comes with Windows 10 Professional, which can cost $60 to $70 or more on most laptops. Here’s the longer specifications list:

CPU: 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800M (go.pcworld. com/rx6m) with 12GB of GDDR6

RAM: 16GB DDR4/3200

Weight: 5.1 pounds; add 2.1 pounds for the 280-watt AC adapter

Operating system: Windows 10 Pro

CONNECTIVITY
