Laptop Review: Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS and Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-Qwith 6 GB VRAM and AMD Radeon RX Vega 7. Other key specs include 16GB of RAM and . The Display here is a 15.6 Inch 240 Hz FHD (1920 x 1080) Panel.

Performance

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 4800Hs which is slightly more powerful than the 10th Gen i7 10750H. The 4800Hs is capable of handling most of your Photo and Video editing workloads without any difficulty even at 4K. On the Graphics end of the game, the RTX 2060 Max-Q performance is similar to that of the GTX 1660Ti mobile. The RTX 2060 Max-Q is best suited for Gaming at 1080p with ultra settings but we don’t recommend the use of ray tracing for most games capable of playing most AAA titles at 1080p with 100+ FPS or at 1440p with 60+ FPS. The 1TB SSD of storage here has a read/write speed of 1800 MB/s and has one small M.2 2242 bay available for additional storage. The 16GB of RAM here running at 3200MHz running in the dual-channel should be enough for most users even the power users. The options for upgradability here though limited but enough for most people.

Design:

The chassis of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76 is made out of plastic and though this is a gaming laptop this maintains professional looks while also being light for a gaming laptop. The Base has a matte finish while the top has a brushed metallic finish. The Bezels around the screen are thin and gives the display a modern look with no webcam.

Ports:

The ports on the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76 has all the essential ports and should be enough for most users. Though there are no ports that may give it a little extra functionality like the thunderbolt 3.

• 3x USB-A 3.2

• HDMI 2.0b
• LAN Ethernet Jack

Keyboard and Trackpad

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV-XS76 has a chicklet style backlit keyboard. The keys are a bit shallow and not as tactile this may be off-putting to some but you will get used to it. The Keyboard here has no RGB backlight but it has a basic white backlit. The arrow keys are a bit small and have no Number Pad. The trackpad here measures (10.5 x 7.5 cm) with no dedicated mouse buttons. The trackpad is precise and will glide smoothly across the display.
