If you're focused on gaming or high-performance tasks and don't mind spending more, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 offers robust capabilities; however, it's heavier and less suited for travel. Alternatively, the Eluktronics RP-15 provides balanced performance for everyday tasks and is easier to carry, which might appeal to those who prioritize portability and a lower price point over top-tier gaming features. Remember though, with the latter, you may encounter limitations during highly demanding applications. Consider your most frequent use scenarios and whether mobility or raw power matters more for your experience. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."

"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."
