MagyarAsus ROG Zephyrus G15 dizüstü bilgisayar incelemesi: Göz alıcı
Yeni ROG Zephyrus G15'in en üst modelini almaya karar verirseniz, son derece güçlü bir genel pakete sahip olacaksınız. Bu şekilde, test ettiğimiz GA503Q modeli, çok güçlü bir Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU ve yalnızca 100 watt TDP (Dinamik Güçlendirme dahil) ile belirtilen GeForce RTX 3080 dizüstü bilgisayar GPU'suna sahip olabilir. Ayrıca, 16 GB'ı anakarta lehimlenen test modelimize 1 TB NVMe tabanlı SSD ve 32 GB DDR4 RAM (çift kanal) kuruldu. Bu arada, FreeSync ve 165 Hz özellikli mat bir WQHD ekran görüntü reprodüksiyonunu halleder. Not: Teknik özellikler belgemize göre, 144 Hz Full HD ekran ikincil panel seçeneği olarak mevcuttur, ancak düşük renk alanı kapsamı (% 45 NTSC) nedeniyle bunu önermiyoruz.
ROG Zephyrus G15'in rakipleri arasında MSI GS66 10SGS, Razer Blade 15 2020, Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515 ve Lenovo Legion 7 15IMH gibi diğer 15 inçlik ince oyun modelleri yer alıyor. Bu dizüstü bilgisayarlar tablolarda karşılaştırma cihazları olarak görünür.

Durum
Zephyrus G15 gri veya beyaz renklerde mevcuttur. İkinci baskı kesinlikle dikkat çekicidir. Bir yandan dizüstü bilgisayar segmentinde beyaz neredeyse hiç kullanılmazken, diğer yandan kapaktaki küçük noktalar veya delikler gibi çeşitli detay vurguları farklı bir görünüm sağlıyor. Özellikle kapak ve klavye alanı magnezyum-alüminyum karışımından yapıldığı için cihaz görsel olarak çok üst düzey görünüyor (yine de yüzeyler büküldüğünde gıcırdama eğilimindedir). çok fazla talepte bulunmayın. Yapı kalitesi yüksek seviyededir. Test cihazının tüm unsurları birbiriyle sorunsuz bir şekilde birleşir. Menteşe yapısı, bir oyun dizüstü bilgisayarı için biraz sıra dışı. Menteşeler, kapak açıldığında taban ünitesinin arka alanı birkaç milimetre yükseltilecek şekilde tasarlanmıştır (maksimum 180 ° açı, tek elle açılma mümkündür), bu da aynı anda havalandırmayı kolaylaştırır (ancak, yüzey sallandığında ekran oldukça hızlı bir şekilde geriye doğru eğilir).
G15, düşük ağırlığı ile de etkileyicidir. 2 kg'ın biraz altında, test alanındaki en düşük değerdir ve oldukça rahat bir şekilde taşınabilir. Boyutlar açısından işler birbirine benzer. İnce çerçeve tasarımı ile 2,0 cm yüksekliğin kombinasyonu ince bir görünümü garanti eder.
Bağlantı
Bağlantı noktaları, bu kadar kompakt bir dizüstü oyun bilgisayarı için fena değil. Bu şekilde, 15 inçlik bir RJ45 bağlantı noktası, bir ses jakı, bir HDMI 2.0 çıkışı, bir Kensington kilit yuvası ve yalnızca microSD modellerini kabul edebilen bir kart okuyucusu barındırıyor, bu biraz üzücü. Yazık demişken: AMD kullanımı nedeniyle, G15 Thunderbolt olmadan yapmak zorunda. USB bağlantı noktalarına gelince, Asus 100 watt Güç Dağıtımı ve DisplayPort desteğine sahip iki A Tipi bağlantı noktası ve iki Tip-C bağlantı noktası (her biri 3.2 Gen 2) seçti.Sağ elini kullanan kullanıcılar, sol taraftaki bağlantı noktaları öne doğru çok fazla itildiği için, sol taraflar muhtemelen yerleşim planından şikayet edeceklerdir. Bağlı kablolar, harici bir farenin hareket aralığını önemli ölçüde kısıtlayabilir.
İletişim
Intel'in kablosuz modülü (Wi-Fi 6 AX200), WLAN 802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ax ve Bluetooth 5.1'i destekler. Testimizdeki hız (referans yönlendiriciye 1 metre mesafe, Netgear Nighthawk AX12) çok iyiydi.
Aksesuarlar
Asus, Zephyrus G15'e 0,5 kg'ın biraz altında ve 15 x 7 x 2,5 cm ölçülerinde 200 watt güç adaptörü sağlıyor.
Bakım
15 inçlik cihazda bir bakım kapağı bulunmadığından, bileşenlere ulaşmak için kasanın alt kısmının tamamı çıkarılmalıdır. Alt kapak 13 vidayla sabitlenmiştir (not: bunlardan üçü lastik contaların arkasında bulunur). Kasanın içinde sadece iki fan ve birkaç ısı borusundan (Sıvı Metal) oluşan soğutma sistemi değil, aynı zamanda bir SO-DIMM yuvası (dolu), iki M.2 yuvası (1x boş), pil, ve kablosuz modüle erişilebilir.
Garanti
Asus, cihaz için 24 ay garanti veriyor.

Keyboard
The keyboard left us with mixed feelings. Starting with the key size, which is only convincing when it comes to the main keys. The arrow keys and the F-row, on the other hand, are quite narrow. Not every user will like the layout, either. In this way, for example, the left Shift and <>| are stuck directly together. A single-line Enter is also unusual for a German model. However, the missing Insert and Print Screen keys bothered us the most in the test.
Asus should also work on the labeling. Depending on the ambient brightness, the keys can hardly be read when the backlight is activated. At least the backlight can be adjusted in several levels or turned off completely if desired. Moreover, we would describe the typing feel as quite modest. The keyboard neither reacts particularly crisp nor particularly mushy to input. Practical: Sound can be conveniently controlled using special keys.
Dokunmatik yüzey
Asus, cömert boyutlu dokunmatik yüzey için övgüyü hak ediyor. 13 x 8.5 cm, 15 inçlik segmentte nadirdir; parmağınızı sıfırlamanıza gerek kalmadan ekranda uzun mesafeler koşmanıza izin verir. Büyük dokunmatik yüzey sayesinde, avuç içi dayanağı da cömert boyuttadır ve bu da ergonomiye fayda sağlar. Bunun ötesinde, dokunmatik yüzey pürüzsüz ve son derece kaygan bir yüzeyle etkileyicidir. Çoklu dokunma desteği hakkında da şikayet edecek bir şey yok (iki parmak hareketlerini kullanarak yakınlaştırma ve kaydırma). Yalnızca yüksek ve biraz tıkırtılı tıklama sesi bir dezavantajdır.
Görüntüle
WQHD ekranlar şu anda görüntü netliği ve kaynak tüketimi arasındaki mükemmel uzlaşmayı temsil ediyor. Asus, Zephyrus G15 için CMN'den (N156KME-GNA) 165 Hz'lik bir model kullanıyor; yüksek frekans ve nispeten düşük tepki süresi (10 ms'nin altında griden griye) nedeniyle oyuncular için çok uygundur.

However, professional users who want to do photo or video editing, for example, and who rely on high color-space coverage should also be happy with the WQHD panel. According to our tests, the 15-inch display covers 99% of the sRGB space and 86% of the AdobeRGB space - a very good result. For comparison: The competition manages a maximum of 66% of AdobeRGB.
The color accuracy, which is decent out of the box, can be brought to a very good level via calibration (see Calman screenshots).
The rest of the panel's values are less spectacular. With a brightness of just under 310 cd/m² and a contrast of around 1,000:1, the ROG Zephyrus G15 settles in the midfield. The same applies to the black level (0.33 cd/m²). The viewing angles are at the typical IPS level.

Test conditions
As usual, Asus puts its powerful Armoury Crate software on the system, which offers dozens of settings and tuning options. Our measurements were conducted using the "Performance" profile.
Performance
Despite its compact dimensions, the Zephyrus G15 is a true high-end laptop that should have enough power for all common application scenarios in the coming years.
Processor
With the Cezanne generation, AMD further increases the pressure on its main competitor Intel, which is increasingly falling behind in terms of technology.
The 7 nm Ryzen 9 5900HS in the G15 belongs to the upper class and can boast 8 cores (16 threads in parallel via SMT) and 16 MB of L3 cache. The base clock speed of 3.3 GHz is increased up to 4.6 GHz under load via Turbo. According to Cinebench R15, the 35-watt CPU reaches between 3.0 and 4.5 GHz in single-core scenarios, whereas the clock rate settles at around 4.0 GHz when all cores are loaded.
Compared to Intel's Comet Lake chips, the R9 5900HS does very well. As you can see in the tables below, even the expensive Core i9-10980HK top model can't keep up with the AMD CPU. Correspondingly, the choice of a Cezanne processor is spot on from a price-performance perspective.
* ... smaller is better
System performance
System benchmarks also benefit from the fast CPU. With a PCMark 10 score of 6,896 points, the Zephyrus G15 is able to outperform the competition, which - at least on paper - lags between 5% and 26% behind. Subjectively speaking, all comparison devices offer a very high system speed.

DPC latencies
Asus doesn't mess up when it comes to latencies either. The LatencyMon tool shows that the 15-incher is fully suitable for practical use. Some rivals reveal weaknesses here.

Storage
Although the storage drive comes from the rather unknown brand SK Hynix, the 1 TB SSD can easily compete with the Samsung models from the competition. The PCIe 4 drive achieves a very high speed for both small and large files. A second M.2 slot is available for upgrades.

Graphics card
In order not to overtax the cooling system of the slim 15-inch case, Asus uses the weakest version of the RTX 3080 laptop GPU that has an 80-watt TDP (100 watts including Dynamic Boost).

The low TDP has a correspondingly negative impact on performance. Despite the large number of shaders, which is far from the desktop counterpart's level (6,144 vs. 8,704), the RTX 3080 laptop version can hardly distinguish itself from devices based on the RTX 2080 (Super) Max-Q in the 3D benchmarks. As a result, buyers shouldn't expect a big performance leap.
8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM is also a bit meager in 2021 considering the video memory requirements of many modern games. A minimum of 10 GB would have been appropriate here (at least the 3080 laptop version is also available as a 16 GB model).
We tested how the GPU behaves over a prolonged period of time with the RPG heavyweight The Witcher 3 for about 60 minutes (Full HD/Ultra). On average, the RTX 3080 laptop GPU ran at 1,260 MHz (base clock speed of 780 MHz) and did not suffer from any performance drops
Gaming Performance
As long as you limit yourself to the native resolution, the Zephyrus G15 delivers very good performance in games. 2560x1440 pixels and maximum details is even possible in demanding titles, although it's not always enough to exceed 60 FPS (see comparison table).

Emissions
Noise emissions
Although the Zephyrus G15 can get very loud in 3D mode with a maximum of 49 to 51 dB, noise development is roughly on par with the competition, which also screams for a headset when gaming. The situation is much quieter in idle mode. On the one hand, the fans sometimes turn off completely (silent operation), and on the other hand, the base noise level is quite decent considering it's only 27 dB.

Temperature
Heat development is a bit worse on the Zephyrus G15 than on its (technically outdated) opponents. In thiss way, we were able to obtain up to 51 °C (~124 °F) on the top and up to 56 °C (~133 °F) on the bottom of the chassis in the stress test with the FurMark and Prime95 tools. The case reaches about 30 °C (~86 °F) in idle usage. Furthermore, the components don't get excessively hot under load. While the GPU reaches just over 70 °C (~158 °F) in 3D applications, the CPU heats up to slightly over 80 °C (~176 °F).
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 51 °C / 124 F, compared to the average of 40.5 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 56 °C / 133 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.2 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 37.8 °C / 100 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 39 °C / 102.2 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (-10.1 °C / -18.2 F).

Speakers
A big surprise awaits when it comes to the sound system. In contrast to most laptops, which are especially weak in terms of bass, the Zephyrus G15 offers a very balanced and powerful sound - by laptop standards - that outshines the competition. No wonder, since Asus has installed a total of 6 speakers.

Energy management
Energy consumption
The built-in graphics switching solution (Nvidia Optimus) leads to moderate energy consumption in idle usage. 10 to 17 watts could also come from a much weaker multimedia laptop. Under load, our measuring device displayed between 108 and 182 watts, which is also acceptable in view of the performance offered - especially when you consider the competition.

Battery life
Asus impressively proves that gaming laptops with long battery life are no longer wishful thinking. A maximum of 12 hours of idle usage at minimum brightness is just as remarkable as a good 9.5 hours of Internet surfing over WLAN (brightness reduced to 150 cd/m²). With these rates, the Zephyrus G15 sprints past all its rivals. However, 3D performance also drops massively without a power adapter as our test with The Witcher 3 showed (over 90% less FPS).

Verdict
As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure.
One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage.
Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition.
We didn't like the noise level in 3D mode and the keyboard layout as much. The fact that Asus omits a webcam and solders part of the RAM is also annoying.
Price and availability
You will soon be able to purchase our test configuration directly from the manufacturer at a price of $2,499.99. You will also be able to find an RTX 3070 version with 16 GB of RAM in the Eclipse Gray color variant on BestBuy for $1,799.99.
