Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition

Asus' ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers all AMD components and an incredible price-to-performance ratio.

By cutting a few corners, especially when it comes to weight and case design, ASUS has made the ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition one of the best gaming values on the market. Sure, there are less expensive notebooks out there, like Dell's G15 lineup, but those feel even cheaper and offer less performance. The G15 Advantage also makes it clear that AMD isn't just dabbling in gaming notebooks anymore — it's finally ready to seriously compete with NVIDIA and Intel.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is a stellar first showing for the AMD Advantage program, making this one of the best value laptops on the market right now.

If you’re specifically looking for this kind of bold design, in an all-AMD system, at a sub-$2,000 price point, and are willing to give up a webcam and some modern ports, the Strix G15 Advantage Edition is probably the best you can do.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition isn't a perfect gaming laptop, and it probably won't be the fastest one we see this year, but it's damn good and damn fast, especially for the money.
