The ASUS ROG Strix G15 generally costs less than the Eluktronics RP-15 and offers a solid mix of features for its price. It's equipped with a capable AMD Ryzen 9 processor and an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, making it suitable for general use and light gaming. However, if you need stronger performance for more intensive 3D, machine learning, or gaming tasks, the Eluktronics RP-15, with its higher-resolution display, more powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor, and superior Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics, is a better fit. It also comes with a larger battery, which should provide longer usage time between charges. The trade-off with the RP-15 is its slightly higher weight and cost. In summary, if portability and cost are major concerns, the ASUS might be your choice; otherwise, for better performance and battery life, the Eluktronics is worth the extra investment. Give Feedback

The Eluktronics RP-15 is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is good.
The Eluktronics RP-15 is favored for engineering and design due to its superior GPU performance, higher screen resolution, and better color accuracy, which are crucial for such tasks, even though it has less storage than the ASUS ROG Strix G15. While the ASUS has a potent processor too, the Eluktronics offers a newer GPU model and more advanced screen features, which could justify its choice despite being slightly less portable and having a marginally noisier operating environment.

The Eluktronics RP-15 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and Eluktronics RP-15 both offer high resolution and brightness, but the Eluktronics edges ahead with a better panel type that enhances the overall visual experience. When it comes to engineering and design work, both laptops have sufficient color accuracy to cover professional color gamuts, with the Eluktronics RP-15 providing a slightly more vivid and consistent color representation that’s crucial for detailed design work. However, both fall short for gaming and 3D because their displays have refresh rates that are lower than what is desirable for smooth, fast-paced visuals, making them less suited for high-end gaming or intensive 3D rendering.

Marius Schell | February 2021
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."

"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
