Asus ROG Strix G15 (G513)

Overview

A great bit of kit that's solidly built and powerful enough to make light work of modern games. Great screen, battery life and noise and cooling handling lead its pros. Its only irks are limited connections and the lack of webcam. But, all told, it's one of the best gaming laptops we've seen.
