This Strix G15 G512 is the most affordable Asus ROG notebook of the 2020 generation, and that alone makes it an option for many of you looking for a versatile, robust, and powerful work/gaming notebook. The sturdy build quality, the good inputs, a fair selection of ports, the punchy audio, and the excellent performance across the board are some of this lineup's main selling points, but at the same time the CPU/GPU run very hot on this G512LV power-hungry model, and Asus only offers a slow and washed out 144 Hz panel on most of the mid-tier configurations, which could break this notebook for some of you.

This ZenBook 13 UX325JA is a competent portable everyday laptop, snappy with daily multitasking, video streaming, and Office apps, but not meant for more demanding loads. The lightweight all-metal construction, good screen options, and long battery life help its cause, as well as its aggressive pricing. At the same time, though, this could be sturdier built, and implements a squashed keyboard in this 13-inch variant, that might no do for to those of you with larger hands.
