It is cooled by 2 Arc Flow fans (84 blades), 6 heat pipes, air vents and Thermal Grizzly thermal paste.

This creative gaming laptop is equipped with good connectivity including 2 USB-C (versus 1 usual), Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and better than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely, an HDMI video output useful for easily connecting it to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports without forgetting 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) that guarantee the transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected.

Of course, the chiclet keyboard can be backlit, which is practical for better recognition of its keys in the dark.
On the other hand, it does not come with a numeric keypad to facilitate the entry of numbers, whereas this functionality is standard from 15 inches, which some will not fail to regret.
We can also regret that Asus does not fill this gap by offering its technology NumberPad (NumPad) which allows the touchpad to be transformed into a tactile numeric keypad when needed.

In any case, those who wish to authenticate themselves biometrically using Windows Hello technology will be grateful to be able to do so thanks to the Infrared webcam that allows facial recognition.

Performance, autonomy of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503RW-L54W

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503RW-L54W may appeal to those looking to invest in a versatile 15-inch elegant multimedia laptop PC that’s powerful in gaming and creation yet nomadic.

The total power provided by this creative gaming laptop PC is out of all proportion to that provided by most models on the market, enough to attract demanding users.
Because it is built around a large amount of 32 GB RAM and an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Rembrandt Octo Core Ryzen 9 6900HS processor.

Creators will be particularly interested as this core guarantees faster processing than 8/16 GB DDR4 as well as Quad/Hexa Core. We felt the difference in areas that require RAM and CPU resources using multicore, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

Creatives will be even happier that the onboard dedicated GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card accelerates processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop or Sony Vegas.

However, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere is a high-end dedicated graphics card targeting gamers. Because despite the fact that the 2.5K screen definition requires more graphic calculations than Full HD, which prompts a lower number of fps, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is capable of running recent game.

In fact, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is activated/deactivated automatically and in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.
Optimus prefers the Radeon 680M as much as possible, a graphics solution inserted in the Ryzen 9 Octo Core and more modest because its reduced energy consumption promotes autonomy.

The autonomy is also an undeniable asset as it is around 9 hours on the battery in light use. Which is all the more remarkable because the transportation of this creative gaming laptop PC is facilitated by its compactness, finesse and its controlled weight.

However, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is called upon by Optimus to perform graphics tasks that are considered too heavy for the Radeon 680M, typically for gaming.

The storage depends on the task, entrusted to a silent SSD while being more energy efficient than a hard drive, more resistant to shocks and faster.
As a result, thanks to the SSD, we can, for example, get online game cards faster than a hard drive, while starting / stopping, processing and launching software / games is faster.

And the SSD here offers a very comfortable capacity of 1 TB, quite competitive with hard drives in this area. It can accommodate many games, software and files including personal creations.

Finally, expect heat and noise from this versatile multimedia creator gamer laptop when pushed hard (eg games, treatments).

If necessary, a ventilated support can be added to contain temperatures (remember to check the measurements carefully!).
