In terms of performance, the Zen 3+ CPUs don’t bring a huge boost compared to last year. And our unit wasn’t really able to extract the full potential of the 120W RTX 3060, which is a bummer. Thankfully, the liquid metal on the CPU means it can push the 35W chip hard pretty much indefinitely. However, the externals get pretty warm during gaming, which is not optimal.
Even gaming showed mixed results, and we are not sure why. It may be something wrong with our particular unit, as we did update the BIOS to the latest available.
This is why we can’t 100% recommend buying this laptop. It is an amazing piece of hardware, but from what we saw, you are better off going for the previous model. If we are able to get ourselves another ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503 (2022), we’re going to update you with our findings.
