When it comes to their favourite gaming setup, many aficionados will choose a PC. But what if you don’t have the space or need to be more mobile? The answer is a gaming laptop. Tech reviewer Elly Awesome puts the ASUS ROG Strix G15 to the test and finds that with its powerful Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB of RAM and preloaded Windows 11, it’s a good choice for gamers who also need a portable option for work or study.
Unboxing the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Gaming Laptop
Out of the box, it is thin and looks good. Also in the box you’ll discover all the paperwork for the ASUS ROG Strix – a warranty and the start-up guide – as well as the power adaptor.
If you peel off the protective film covering the laptop and take a look, there’s a headphone jack on one side and, on the back, you’ll find an HDMI port, a USB-C port, another USB port and the power delivery port, which is pretty good for a gaming laptop.
