The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a high-quality OLED display, longer battery life, and is lighter, making it more portable for everyday use and travel. However, the Eluktronics RP-15 features a more powerful GPU and higher screen resolution, making it better suited for 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming. The RP-15 also has a higher refresh rate screen, which is beneficial for gaming and fast-paced visuals. Both laptops have similar storage and memory, but keep in mind the RP-15's shorter battery life and slightly heavier weight, which could be drawbacks if mobility and battery duration are priorities for you.

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."

"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."
