The Eluktronics RP-15 is positioned at a midrange price and excels in performance with a strong AMD Ryzen processor and an Nvidia RTX GPU, making it suitable for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks. It comes with a large storage capacity and substantial RAM, enhancing its ability to handle demanding applications. The laptop includes a high-resolution IPS display with a high refresh rate, which is good for fast motion and color-sensitive work. However, it has a moderate battery life that may limit long use away from a power source. Its weight is on the heavier side, affecting portability, though it includes a number pad and backlit keyboard for added convenience. It runs Windows 11 Home and supports hardware ray tracing and DLSS. Despite its power, the Eluktronics RP-15 is not as portable as lighter laptops, and its fan noise and heat management are rated as fair, which could be noticeable during heavy use. Give Feedback

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."
