Our in-depth review of the Asus ROG Strix G15 G513Q with AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 revealed a portable gaming machine that “offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format” but could have done better in the connectivity department.
The G513RC-IS74 model that is currently discounted by 23% on Amazon has the same design and 300 Hz IPS display as its sibling mentioned above, but uses the less powerful AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 duo. Thankfully, the discounted price tag of US$999.99 should be enough to make up for the performance drop involved.
The full model name of the discounted Asus ROG Strix G15 (2022) is G513RC-IS74. In addition to the aforementioned display, processor, and graphics card, this gaming laptop also features 16 GB DDR5 memory, a single 1 TB NVMe PCIe SSD, an RGB-lit keyboard, ROG intelligent cooling with self-cleaning dual fans and Thermal Grizzly Liquid Metal thermal compound, and a MUX Switch that allows the GPU to communicate directly with the display. Connectivity-wise, it sports Wi-Fi 6E with RangeBoost, Bluetooth 5.2, an RJ45 LAN port, HDMI 2.0b, and 4 USB 3.2 ports (2 X Type-C, 2 X Type-A). The preinstalled operating system is Windows 11 Home.
Unfortunately, the only color choice available is gray. On the other hand, the purchase also comes with 30 days of Xbox Game Pass for PC as a freebie.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
