The 2022 Zephyrus G15 is clearly a well built and well designed laptop with enough GPU & CPU power for modern gaming, while having compact and professional looking design for everyday use. It’s lightweight and portable, looks and feels like a premium product. The battery life is good for a Windows machine, at least when it comes to enabling power saving features in Armoury crate such as “eco mode” and the 60hz panel option. Eco mode disables the GeForce GPU and uses the integrated CPU graphics, which makes sense for light use cases on battery. You can also enable silent mode for classroom/work settings. When plugged in, 3060 GPU can run nearly any game well, and the thermals are well managed. On performance fan setting, it gets loud. I use the Windows fan mode and it seems quieter without losing performance. This can all be found in Armoury Crate, which there is a key for on the keyboard. However, I close out of Armoury crate after dialing in settings because it seems to cause some performance issues when open. The 1440p 165hz IPS screen is beautifully sharp and responsive, but the 3060 GPU will struggle maxing out this display in graphically intensive games. I find running games at 1440p with medium settings and aiming for 60-100fps is the sweet spot for me. Forza Horizon 5, GTA V, Apex, Destiny 2 and more run at very high settings 1440p no issues. As my first laptop with a dedicated GPU, I’m almost shocked with this performance in a small, portable device. But it is expensive for just a 3060, which is why I recommend this device when it’s on sale closer to a thousand dollars or so. By the way, here’s a picture of the insides when I was adding a 2TB gen 4 SSD. I also plan on adding a 32gb stick of RAM for 40gb total. I always appreciate upgradability, now I’ll be able to store dozens of games.

TL;DR I love this laptop! The build quality is amazing. The laptop feels very sturdy and premium. The all metal exterior make the device feel good in the hands. The sleek design keeps it from looking like a chunky gaming laptop that I’m not embarrassed to bring to Starbucks. I use the laptop for gaming and editing photos/videos. The display is a 165hz 1440p display. It is a perfect balance between having a crisp image and being smooth as butter without losing performance. The display is Pantone validated and is great for editing all the photos I take and I know I can trust the colors I see. The cooling keeps the device cool even under high loads. It’s impressive since it’s so thin. The fans can ramp up and be loud but it’s nothing compared to other gaming laptops I’ve owned. The overall experience using the laptop is great. It has facial recognition for quick login. It has a large smooth touchpad. The port selection is not crazy but it is a lot better then new laptops coming out. Lastly it has a great feeling keyboard at least in my opinion. I work at a computer repair store and it gets more and more difficult every year to find a upgradable laptop. The laptop has two nvme slots and I’ve already put a 1TB ssd in the second slot. If you want a lot of ram I would recommend getting a high spec when purchasing. The motherboard has one upgradable RAM slot and RAM soldered onto the board. You can upgrade RAM using the one slot but you can’t upgrade the soldered on RAM.

Great gaming laptop. The screen is bright and has vivid colors, although pretty light the build quality is solid, and the overall look of the laptop is sleek and sophisticated. I love the look of the hinge mechanism and how it raises the bottom of the laptop off the table which helps with cooling as well. It starts up quickly and because of the armory crate software there are a lot of customizations that are possible for the RBG keyboard, other system setting and for gaming performance. The RBG keyboard is great looking. The computer runs games smoothly and does not run hot, with noticeable fan noise only with very demanding programs. The overall sound quality of the laptop is pleasant and balanced, without rattling of components with bass heavy songs, and the webcam has good quality as well. The battery life off charger while gaming is about 2-3 hours for me without modifying the specifications to conserve battery life (which for me isn’t bad because I’m generally near an outlet anyway). I was also able to add another 2 Tb of internal memory which is a plus! Overall I would highly recommend this laptop!

Its a good laptop with performence and noise, however there are problems with asus software of armoury crate and the cpu driver from amd with that 6900hs. It get very annoying when it tries to update itself or changes your profiles for power or color. I did end up cleaning it too hard and breaking keybaord, long fix i did.

Great for gaming and work. I use this as a daily work computer and gaming computer. It’s getting at least 10-14 hours of use. Regular use is great with battery and has lasted about 5-6 hours with regular use for work (Microsoft Office Apps, Chrome, etc.). I usually plug it in when playing because that’s when the computer tends to run at optimal speed. When it was new it could run with out it but now it seems to get glitchy or you’ll see the frame rate slow down pretty quick in FPS games like COD. Simple games work fine without a charger plugged in always. I think my favorite thing about this compute is it’s simplicity, it’s look, doesn’t feel entirely beefy nor cheap but runs like a decent +$2000 gaming laptop build. Go for it if it’s your first gaming laptop. Especially now on clearance for a little over $1,300. A decent steal.
