Q: QuestionIs the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 with the Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU still being sold/produced? I no longer see the G15 RTX 3070 (model: GA503QR-211.ZG15) available as an option on ASUS' main website; they show models with the RTX 3060 and 3080, but not the 3070.

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer They are still producing the GA503QR version. They're website seems to be finicky depending on what links you go through to find the product numbers, from my experience. The current product spec site (I would link it but BestBuy doesn't allow that) currently shows 6 different models, with 2 each (one grey, one white) having the 3060, 3070, and 3080 GPUs. The closest match to this BestBuy model GA503QR-211.ZG15, is the GA503QR-HQ098R listed on their site. However, it's not uncommon (and I believe this is the case for this model) for retailers to have their own specific model number (GA503QR-211.ZG15) that's added to the base manufacturer's model number (GA503QR).

Q: QuestionWhat's the manufacturer's warranty?

Q: QuestionDoes the lid have some color inside some of the dots? I know this one doesn't have an animated lid, but several pictures show the lid with streaks of colors in it, but the one I have seen in person appeared to be solid grey (with no color in the dots).

Asked 4 years ago by darkrpime.

• A:Answer Each dot in the array has a small reflective surface on it. Viewed from certain angles, you can see a rainbow pattern across it. This pattern changes with angle, distance, and light source. It's reasonably easy to obtain a photo with or without the 'rainbow' effect. As a humorous effect, it's quite easy to be at such an angle that someone across the room can't see it at all, but you can see it perfectly.

Q: QuestionHas anyone been able to get an Oculus Rift setup on this without crazy lag in every movement? I feel like this should run better than the 1070 in my old desktop, but it is struggling.

Asked 4 years ago by Alakazam.

• A:Answer yeah, the laptop will do that at first, now im not sure if this will work for the g15 but it does for the g14 but try putting certain applications from the oculus app on high performance, and other ones on low performance as u can see in this image *including vr dashboard* u can find these application in task manager and going to services, doing this should solve the lag but could disable virtual desktop. also in task manager u have to set the computer to run the server application at real-time performance by finding it in services, right clicking it and setting it there like that.

Asked 4 years ago by AAAAAA.

• A:Answer Hello so first off as to max it out on power u can’t the only real thing to do to this model is add a second nvme ssd that is all because if u upgrade the ram to let’s say a 16gb it will drop out of duel channel ram both sticks have to be the same 8gb 3200hz for me since I got the 16gb model so your stuck there but let me tell u this 16gb of ram is very good for the next few years no problem there just add a new nvme ssd a big one and your good I have it all ready and let me tell u it’s a beast not a 3080 desktop beast but it’s par with my 9900k and 2080 so it’s very powerful

Q: QuestionWhat is the major difference between this laptop and G533QR Strix? Which one is a better laptop?

Asked 4 years ago by Ku007.

• A:Answer Strix is Asus’s “flagship” gaming lineup; so it’ll definitely come with better build quality, and even though the CPU/Graphics may be the same, the cooling will likely be better and will allow for a higher graphics TDP
