You’ll find all about it in this detailed review of the Zephyrus G15 GA503RW model.

I did get to use some early Zephyrus G units for the preview article published in January, but I couldn’t run any proper tests on those, as they were not finalized retail products. While the 2021 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 has been available for a few weeks in some regions, it has yet to come in stores in this part of Europe, so I had to wait to spend some time with a final product before I could share my thoughts on this series with you.
