Today, ASUS announced the launch of their latest gaming laptops in India which will all be powered by AMD Ryzen 5000H processors. Among them, both their ROG Strix G15 and G17 gaming laptops will come with new AMD APUs paired with RTX 30-series flagship GPUs.

Finally gamers in India can now purchase both these new laptops as both the Asus ROG Strix G15 and Strix G17 come with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, up to 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of solid-state storage.

The Asus ROG Strix G15 and Strix G17 have indistinguishable features, as their names suggest; the former comes with a 15.6-inch screen and the latter 17.3-inches, with a refresh rate of 300Hz, which will have to settle for FHD, 1920 x 1080 resolution. The WQHD with a 2,560 x 1,080 variant has a refresh rate of 165Hz. Both variants have a 3ms response time.

Options for the CPU on the Asus ROG Strix G15 and Strix G17 include the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, Ryzen 7 5800H, Ryzen 5 5600H, and, also, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H. GPU options, on the other hand, are limited, as one only gets to choose between an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 and GeForce RTX 3060.

Both the Asus ROG Strix G15 and Strix G17 supports up to 32GB of RAM, along with 2TB of storage via an NVMe SSD. Connectivity options in both the notebooks include three USB Type-A (Gen1) ports, one USB Type-C (Gen2) port which can charge the device and output video as well, one HDMI 2.0b port, and a 3.5mm headphone or mic combo jack.
