One of the best gaming laptop as of now.
AMD Smart Access Memory. AMD Smart Shift.
300hz Freesync Premium display
Liquid metal, vapor chamber cooling, 280W PSU, 150W GPU.
Dual NVME slots, Upgradable RAM.
This laptop is on par with RTX 3080 laptop.
Also I would expect 6700xt level of mining capability.
My first post. Godspeed guys. Thanks!

Although few things to keep in mind:
1. The battery life is AMAZING according to reviews, it cant get any better for a gaming machine.
2. The thermals are amazing and impressive given the form factor
3. NO WEBCAM (huge for me), no numpad (the trackpad also doesnt have a digital numpad like other ROG Strix Scar laptops)
4. The HDMI port is connected to iGPU rather than dGPU so you have a limited HDMI 2.0 connection instead of HDMI 2.1
Where this laptop really shines is QHD resolution. At FHD it is kinda limited in performance. So any kind of gaming where you are connecting it to an external monitor with QHD or higher resolution, this is A BEAST for the price.
Checkout the Anandtech review:
https://www.anandtech.c
Honestly speaking, upgrading ram with good sub timing alone would increase the performance easily by 5 to 10% according to Jarrod. And according to my own experience, MUX switch is about 5%! (Intel iGPU is about 10-15% deficit if no MUX)
These numbers are so huge that I can't believe it is true. But logic tells me yes it is true. Not sure why Asus does this.

I still have my laptop, still using it.. Occasionally it restarts right after gaming, switching from dedicated gpu to intergrated gpu. Even if I'm playing a game and switch to youtube, I see the power changes from turbo to performance mode.. switching back to my game ( changing a youtube song video) it will go back to turbo. It is weird.
I don't have dedicated gpu on all the time. I forgot how to set it on full time. (that would be nice to know).
I did have this laptop on offerup for 1400 bucks, not a bite. People always try to cut down the price even if it is rediculously cheap at 1400.
I got a hit for 1350 for the laptop and i just marked it as sold. (I'm keeping this for that price!)
People are somewhat ignorant to know a deal or a good laptop until it hits them in the face.
I'm not even used to AMD gpu still and im still satisfied.
So I'm still using it, Still love the cool palm rest on the hands.. huge track pad, nice display. Quite frankly, I have gotten used to the restarts that happen very rarely.
Like I said in my first few posts, Soon as I got this laptop out the box, I removed the Liquid Metal and the white caulking around the chips, and redid the Liquid Metal with thermal paste. I have never had any weird issues in relation to temps or GPU or shorting or any visual display abnormalaties as you would see on a gpu shorting out from oozing LM.
I believe this is the bestway is just remove LM. You still have the AMD cpu/AMD gpu technology and how they function together.
I don't play first person shooting games which this thing would just own on imho. I play an MMORPG.
I have the slow RAM and stock 512 M.2.
I play 3 accounts at a time and youtube videos while serving the web on crap wifi using the external monitor.
I have connected to my external monitor and did some tests (screenshots below) keep in mind, slow ram, 512 stock M.2 drive (which is nothing fast to brag about ).
I don't think this is a crap laptop at all!
Still both applications (seen in post 398 pict) is way to much LM.
Just removed the LM and apply thermal paste before first start up.. = WIN.
You can re-apply it on the CPU if you know how to apply it, Seen in the youtube video no how to apply Liquid Metal. found HERE [youtube.com]
The first half of the video.. the second hallf is nothing to do with my topic. You just need to coat the chip. All your doing with thermal paste or Liquid Metal is simply covering the small machine groves and imperfactions of a flat metal surface. You don't need GOBS of it.
I found one post ( I am no sure WHY it would slow speed) but I am posting this here.
There was a mention about Wake on settings not turned off.
I know on LAN on a PC this keeps your eithernet cable plugged into your motherboard blinking light when PC is off. This was " Wake on LAN " setting for PC's (Win 7).
So this setting I usually turn off anyway, which I just did, and the picture shows how.
You can see the comment in the picture of an owner of this ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition laptop with WiFi issues..
See pict.
FYI I don't have slow speed wifi issues..
Under the downloads over on
https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-...k_download. Notice no /us/ in the url. (Wouldn't show up in the US site
Under Hotfix, you see a vBios update. AND... there is a BIOS update (316 version).! So, 2 updates.
In the discord forums, this is talk about resolving the rebooting issues.
Thought I would share!
