The Eluktronics RP-15 is a laptop featuring impressive performance for engineering tasks and intensive gaming, thanks to its AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics. With abundant storage and a huge 64GB of RAM, it's particularly suitable for resource-heavy applications. The device offers a quality 15.6-inch display with high refresh rates, beneficial for smooth visuals in gaming and fast-paced videos. However, it's on the heavier side, which might affect portability for those who need to carry it around frequently. The midrange price makes it a solid value, especially for those prioritizing performance over weight and battery life, as you can expect around 6 hours of typical use. It also has a robust build quality, backlit keyboard, and an array of ports including USB-C and Ethernet, but it does not support Thunderbolt. Overall, the RP-15 should serve well for gaming, engineering, and other demanding applications, while being less ideal for users who require a very light and long-lasting laptop. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
Engineering & Design:4.7
The Eluktronics RP-15 thrives in engineering and design use due to its powerful AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and ample 64GB of RAM, which are crucial for handling complex calculations and multitasking, and a high-quality Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU which is essential for rendering and graphical simulations. Additionally, the laptop's high-resolution IPS screen enhances visual clarity and color accuracy which is beneficial for detailed design work.
General Use:4.5
The Eluktronics RP-15 boasts a robust CPU and ample RAM, ensuring smooth performance for general tasks, while its high-resolution IPS screen provides excellent color coverage and quality for media consumption.

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."
