The Eluktronics RP-15 is a midrange gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, aimed at high performance in 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming. It offers a 15.6-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2560x1440, a high refresh rate for smooth visuals, and solid color coverage, making it suitable for content creation and engineering tasks that benefit from accurate colors. However, with a weight of nearly 5 pounds and a battery life suited for limited on-the-go use, it's not the most portable option. It's well-suited for intensive gaming and engineering but might be more than needed for general use. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
Engineering & Design:4.5
The Eluktronics RP-15 is well-suited for engineering and design tasks because it is equipped with a robust AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia GPU, which are crucial for running complex simulations and rendering tasks efficiently. The laptop's high-resolution IPS screen offers clear and accurate color representation, which is essential for precise design work.

PerfectRec’s Gaming and AI Score strongly emphasizes graphics processing capability as well as AI performance, while also taking into account other factors that impact suitability for gaming and AI work.
While performance (especially graphics performance) is the most important factor determining this score, we also give modest weight to screen quality, heat management, keyboard quality, and storage.

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"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."
