So if u go into the AMD Radeon Software and look under Display and turn off Vary Bright- u get actual even more brightness to a point where it hurts your eyes. I think most people measure the nits with Vary Bright. Also u can adjust all the colors of the screen from there too (which gives u another boost in contrast to brightness). So yeah I have to run the display t 60% with Vary Bright off so it doesn't hurt my eyes. And yes there is a Radeon RX Vega 8 GPU on the processor as integrated graphics card which can easily handle Minecraft, Roblox, even CS:GO etc.. As I said - it's a monster (!).
Oh I definitely saw that in my edit and I totally forgot to mention it 🤦♂️ I already bought another ssd to go in there so it will be in my next video!
A little late, but you earned yourself a new subscriber. When I was done watching the video, I was shocked that you didn’t have more subscribers. Great work man, keep it up!
I know it’s been a month but it seems that the heat vent was designed to be that way, although some reviewers of this laptop have voiced the same concern. I’ve yet to see anyone see actual damage from that though
Dang..I found out abiut this beastly machine about a week ago, but was waiting for another paycheck to clear before I buy it. My paycheck cleared and now it's out of stock everywhere!!!! Could you let me know if you spot one somewhere?
@@RAVisuals yeah that's gonna be a sick video. Can't wait for some benchmarks. Hopefully you used some of mine on the question you posted on your IG Story
@@sandeepb91 Good to know. Let me know your experience. What do you think, is it worth it for $1800+ taxes? I am really interested in this but still somethings are holding me back.
@@RAVisuals I got it. Unfortunately my unit's cpu is overeating in turbo mode. I tried some tweaks but those are at the cost of cpu performance. I think I ll return mine and try ordering it again. Suggestions?
4k quality, using the cutscenes so people can skip to whatever section they want and only 23k subs? Damn... putting more work in than people with hundreds of thousands.
So when I got this laptop, I turned it on when I first got. And when I was reading the papers it says u need to plug it up. I did not will that mess the laptop up or affect it. And it has some screen bleeding or back light bleeding. And my battery goes down fast.
ahh okay. I actually live in Singapore and I don’t think this model is available here locally so I’m skeptical about making such a huge purchase off amazon. Also there isn’t really that much variety here in terms of better specs, making my purchasing experience so miserable 🥲
Do you notice any backlight bleeding om yours? Mine has little backlight bleed. Only noticable on pitch black scenes. Not sure if its acceptable/normal though
Valid question! I actually have notice a tiny amount on mine in a pitch black background but I would never notice it when there's a normal scene on my screen.
Hey can you explain the warranty on this laptop? I want to get it from bestbuy, should I get the geeksquad warranty as well? Also don’t like the holes on top, can I cover/skin it?
I'm looking for a QHD laptop. but my major concern is Streaming. Could plz see if your Laptop can stream 4K Netflix content in 1440p or does it downscale 4K to 1080p ? and someone even said that 1080p netflix look really bad on a QHD screen. Please Help. and don't use chrome browser as it can only stream 720p max on netflix. plz check on Edge or Netflix app. I also want to know if it can play Netflix HDR. sorry to bother you but these info isn't provided here in India. it'd be a big help 🙏🏼
Its Magnesium, not ABS plastic lol. Also you missed saying that it has Liquid metal as the termal paste. Also, not Hard drive, its a SSD. Did your laptop come with blowed speakers?
Thank you. I realized the pet about the material after the unboxing. I was saying it “felt like plastic” because it honestly does. As of right now, the speakers seem fine
I'm thinking of getting the rtx 3060 model but since I'm gonna be using it a lot for music real time vocal recording in fl studio, I'm worried about the DPC latency. Will you be able to test that out as well or do you know how well it does?
@@laypyu hey so i actually ended up buying the g14 (rtx 3060 ryzen 9 5900hs) and its great i love it! i tested it and while recording in fl studio the latency was usually below 100 and the highest i ever got was 368
I'm finally watching something where I can say this, so: *Watching this video on my 2021 G15* except I splashed for the white model with a 3080 and believe it or not I am still concerned whether or not it's powerful.
@@RAVisuals just got mine from Bestbuy finally and the right side of the screen is broken haha all dead pixels 😭 so back it goes tomorrow for a replacement but i like the size and weight!
Hi, hey I'm not an expert, but I recently bought this laptop and I have it on silent mode, what worries me is that even when I'm not doing anything the fans turn on and start making noise even when the temperature is 32 ° C . that's normal?
so much money for plastic ., but at least asus never disappoint you with their hardware ... just like old Toshiba and the funny thing is all laptop nowadays following legion series from lenovo.,
100% correct. I was saying that it “feels” like plastic and not metal like the razor laptops or something. Also there’s all plastic on the bottom cover. I actually read that this material makes it lighter too! Pretty cool

Finally!, I was trying to find a good review for the best buy model, liked it very much, even subscribed
Thanks a lot man!
The build is a magnesium alloy that feels similar to plastic
Exactly!
Hi iroh
Yeah but it is so light! and actually has a premium feel to it, I bought and have no issues with it.
@@MrSaljstn Yea Coz Magnesium is one of the lightest metals...
This is how an "Unboxing & First Look" video should be like. Informative AND fun! 👊🏼
Glad you liked it!!

It definitely is man! Very good to know, thanks for pointing that out! I already planned to test the i gpu first and then the dedicated graphics!
The style your shooting in this video is different.! I like it. Great video and looking fresh with the new hair cut.
Thank you sir! I put together a different set for it haha
You missed the 2nd NVMe slot where you can add a 2nd SSD
Oh I definitely saw that in my edit and I totally forgot to mention it 🤦♂️ I already bought another ssd to go in there so it will be in my next video!
Nice review! Im looking at the 3060 version with the 1080p screen for 1500.00
good deal!
That new set is sick
Thanks sir! I spent a bit of a night setting it up, lol
@@RAVisuals not that you care but I want to share with someone haha. I hit 200 subs today and I’m so stoked
@@ElijahsLab dude!! Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈 I remember the day I got there too and it means the world for sure. Keep it up man!
@@RAVisuals thanks for the kind words :D
U can turn off the boot sound in armory crate :)
U can turn that off also in the bios.
I showed this!
been planning to buy this laptop for a bit good to know only 8 gb of ram is upgradable
yeah, kind of sucks but its still a beast nonetheless
Yep I will buy a g15 next laptop I purchase in 5 years. I just purchased my Asus Zephyrus g14 2020 3 months ago.
Good choice!
this was an amazing video and thank you for all the efforts you have made...btw when is the next one coming ?
There's already another one! I'll have more coming as well
A little late, but you earned yourself a new subscriber. When I was done watching the video, I was shocked that you didn’t have more subscribers. Great work man, keep it up!
Welcome! I appreciate the kind words!
Mine arrives tomorrow 😬 awesome video man. Subscribed and look forward to the next one!
Awesome! Thank you! I guess we can both enjoy this rad laptop now 🙌
How do you like it so far?? I'm considering getting it for school.
I find it crazy how cheap powerful pcs are now. This pc costs as much as my weaker g14 with 2060
Easily the best laptop i've ever owned!
There is one on Best Buy's website on sale for $1549.99, would you say this is a good deal now that it's 2022?
This is still amazing laptop. For a 3070 system, its a good deal!
the amd software is for the on chip video card built into CPU so if video card fails laptop will still show display
I'm sure that's very useful for trying to repair it!
I play Star Citizen at 57fps when in Area 18 on this one and ultra details (!) It's a monster machine.
DUDE! I cant wait to try that game!
@@RAVisuals oh it's so much fun. U get lost in time. Be aware u won't make any videos for a long time after u have arrived in the Stanton System.
After your long use did the heat vent affect the screen , please do reply I am trying to decide whether I should take a strix g 15 or zeyphrus g 15
Is there a secondary ssd slot??
I know it’s been a month but it seems that the heat vent was designed to be that way, although some reviewers of this laptop have voiced the same concern. I’ve yet to see anyone see actual damage from that though
@@ifirekirby7498 thanks for the reply I recently decided to take a Legion 5 pro
Great review, excellent presentation - super entertaining.
Thanks so much! 🤘🏼
the whole video is dimly lit, but the content is wonderful
I usually light on the darker side especially since I knew the laptop screen would be ok frame quite a bit
Dang..I found out abiut this beastly machine about a week ago, but was waiting for another paycheck to clear before I buy it. My paycheck cleared and now it's out of stock everywhere!!!! Could you let me know if you spot one somewhere?
You can get it in amazon but its a bit more expensive from the vendor.
@@RAVisuals thank you! It went back in stock on BB for a few hours and I managed to snag one!
Awesome review bro, that's a sick AF laptop $1,800 WOW! I Love #ROGSTRIX their GPU's are so THICC love them. Love this video Ricky
Thanks so much man! yeah I'm really loving it so far, cant wait to test it out for you guys!
@@RAVisuals yeah that's gonna be a sick video. Can't wait for some benchmarks. Hopefully you used some of mine on the question you posted on your IG Story
Honestly genuine and useful review
Thanks a ton!
only .08 inches thick?! How do they manage to pack that power in 2 millimeters??
right!?
0.8, not 0.08
screen flat is useful for content on an aircraft
Would you recommend me getting the G15 GA503Q or wait for the Lenovo Legion Pro? I’ll be using it for occasional video editing and gaming
I love this laptop personally. It does everything I need it to from gaming to editing. It also looks great at the same time too!!
@@RAVisuals Really appreciate the response. Whenever the G15 is available for purchase, I’ll be sure to buy one! And I’ll be sure to subscribe too!
In this era we can have 18,4" 16:10 aspect ratio laptops in 17,3" form factor.
They pack a lot into a small package now!
That Harry Potter wallpaper, can someone please give the link to it. It looks awesome.

How long did it take best buy to ship you one?
They shipped it right away actually. Got it right on time
this is best review of asus g15 on youtube
That means a lot! Thank you so much!
Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 or ASUS TUF Dash 15? Thnxs.
Wah!!! Here in Spain it Cost 2500+ Euro!!😂😂😂 Epic Euro Pricetag!!🤘

Is it good for movies? Do you prefer another one for that purpose?
its great for movies! awesome speakers

Hey can you explain the warranty on this laptop? I want to get it from bestbuy, should I get the geeksquad warranty as well? Also don’t like the holes on top, can I cover/skin it?
It’s a one year standard warranty and if you want an extended you can get the geek squad one. I’m sure d brand will have sounds for it very soon!
@@RAVisuals thanks for replying! I really want to get it but it’s out of stock in best buy. Also I’m wondering if the strix series are better?
Can I replace 32gb RAM with 64gb RAM by myself?
Thank you for great video and thank you in advance for your reply.
yes you can! if yours came with 32gb I believe you just have to add another stick but im not sure if that model has the soldered ram like mine does
which one do you prefer for video editing and in terms of aesthetics, ROG STRIX G15 or ZEPHYRUS G15?
I'm so confused what are they only different on the outside ??
Did you ever wind up changing the RAM or adding a second Hard Drive?
sure did! I have a couple more videos on this

I plan to purchase this laptop for video and photo editing. Is that QHD monitor accurate enough for working on Lightroom or basic color grading?
Absolutely! It looks so good!
I wish it was actually available to buy in EU
gahh, they always do the region thing with certain models
It has RGB lighting? Why did other reviewers say only white lighting?
Not sure! I thought it only had white lighting too but washappy to see it had RGB onboard.
I'm finally watching something where I can say this, so:
*Watching this video on my 2021 G15* except I splashed for the white model with a 3080 and believe it or not I am still concerned whether or not it's powerful.
I don’t think it’ll have any problems!!
No prt SC button.. Does that really cost anything?
it actually has a screen capture button! So im much happier, haha
That plastic named magnesium alloy
yes it is!
I’m assuming that boot screen sound can be turned off, right? LoL or changed at least.
It can be turned off in armoury crate!
I got the Beast of all beast laptops MSI GE76.
haha nice!
it has rgb in keyboard?? wasnt it just white backlight
Im getting this but as i am a broke man i shal do the monthly payments 🤣 great review
its definitely worth it!
Acer Nitro 5, Hp Omen, or this?
This...easy choice

does this model use liquid metal as a conductive paste?

How much in canada
not sure, youd have to check amazon and best buy
That's not plastic, that's a Magnesium-Aluminium Alloy.
