SmartShift moves power between processors to improve performance up to 15%, while Smart Access Memory boosts frame rates in many games. Armed with 16GB of high-performance DDR4-3200 RAM, you can game, stream, and switch gears seamlessly. 512GB of NVMe SSD storage accelerates load times for games and apps.

Design

Sleek. Sporty. Styling.
Show off your gaming style at any esports event. Our Original Black all-AMD edition is set apart by a subtle textural design across the top. Icons and cut-outs on every side of the chassis give the Strix G 360° degrees of style. Aura Sync accents shine from the metallic ROG logo, the backlit keyboard, and triple-edged light bar to illuminate your gaming environment.

Cooling

All-encompassing cool
Advanced cooling brings out the best of a powerful Ryzen CPU and Radeon GPU. Liquid metal thermal compound coats both processors, improving heat transfer and lowering temperatures. A large vapor chamber significantly increases cooling area for rapid and efficient heat dissipation through 4 fan outlets, allowing for up to 25W higher thermal headroom in Turbo mode. Surface temperatures are monitored by a built-in IR sensor that calibrates cooling as needed. These and other improvements allow ROG Boost to overclock the GPU in Turbo mode, and they open up extra thermal headroom to push even more power through the platform.

Liquid metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces temperatures by up to 14° C and improves thermal transfer compared to standard thermal paste. Painting liquid metal onto processors is delicate work, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision, designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound, and added a special step to protect surface-mounted components on the processor package.

Vapor chamber

Heat dissipation is faster and more efficient with our vapor chamber design, which improves cooling performance and lowers surface temperatures. Compared to conventional heat pipes that only transfer heat along their axis, vapor chamber designs spread heat across their entire surface, creating a wider area for heat dissipation to rapidly and efficiently lower temperatures in small spaces. Our design also uses a rectangular thermal plate to draw heat away from not only the CPU and GPU, but also the power regulation circuitry. Reducing the temperature of these power components helps improve long-term stability and reliability.

IR sensor

The Strix G15 Advantage Edition’s advanced cooling doesn’t just focus on the hardware inside. A special IR sensor monitors the temperature of the keyboard, so power and cooling can automatically adjust to keep your fingers cool and comfortable during marathon gaming sessions. Our CoolZone design places small vents around the WASD keys, allowing the fans to draw cooler air into the chassis from above. This helps keep surface temperatures under 40° during extended gaming sessions—up to 10° C lower than in competing laptops.

Arc flow fans

New Arc Flow fans are designed to maximize airflow and keep noise levels low. Each one features 84 blades that vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, and the blades are capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. The fans are crafted from a liquid-crystal-polymer that’s strong enough to maintain its shape while spinning at high RPMs, even with blades slimming down to just 0.1mm. Despite making less noise than the previous generation, they help increase airflow by up to 17% for the CPU and 20% for the GPU.

Display

Precision speed
Marvel at detail-rich visuals with a 165Hz WQHD display that deftly balances refresh rate and resolution. Both panels deepen immersion with FreeSync Premium technology that eliminates screen tearing, smooths out stuttering, and reduces latency. Super-narrow bezels frame your view, minimizing distractions to keep you locked in the action.

Audio

Immerse in crystal clear audio
Twin Smart Amp speakers fire sound directly at you to maximize clarity. Put on headphones to experience virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos, and be at the center of the action. Two-Way AI Noise-Cancelation removes unwanted noise from incoming and outgoing audio, making your team chat, streaming, and other communications crystal clear.

Battery

Live longer
Unplug and do more on the move with a high-capacity 90Wh battery. Extend your battery life away from wall sockets with Type-C charging from compatible power packs. For everyday activities like web browsing and streaming video, you can work off a smaller USB-C adapter up to 100W and travel even lighter with a single charger for your laptop and phone.

Keyboard

Strike with precision
Precision and instinct define the desktop-inspired keyboard. Five dedicated hotkeys put frequently used controls within reach, so you can make quick adjustments while staying in the flow of the action. Bigger, isolated arrows, and well-spaced function keys let you navigate more intuitively and accurately. Customize the glow to match your mood with 4-zone RGB lighting, and punch in your inputs worry-free with durable key switches built to withstand over 20 million presses.

Aura Sync

Aura Sync lets your personality shine
Dim the lights and let Aura Sync take center stage. Illumination across the keyboard filters up through clear edges around the keys, and you can adjust colors and effects across 4 independent RGB zones. Customizable colors extend into the light bar wrapped around three edges of the chassis, highlighting your setup with underglow. Add your favorite Aura Sync devices to make a matching environment all your own. Set the mood for immersive play. Link effects to in-game events. Show your true colors with a personalized experience.

Connectivity

Reliable Wi-Fi 6 networking
Game at gigabit speeds where compatible connections are available with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). It boosts peak interface bandwidth , increases efficiency and reliability on crowded networks, and offers lower latency for less lag in-game. ROG RangeBoost enhances reception by evaluating the signal strength of four internal antennas and then picking the best pair to use for your location, minimizing dead spots and increasing range by up to 30%.

I/O port

Comprehensive connectivity
Power up your setup with a versatile selection of I/O ports. Hook up next-gen devices at Gen 2 speeds via the USB 3.2 Type-C™ with DisplayPort™ 1.4 and USB Power Delivery. Three Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports are ready for your favorite gaming gear, while HDMI 2.0b lets you connect a 4K monitor or TV at up to 60Hz. The key ports are strategically positioned at the back to keep cables out of your space.
