CES 2021 – Asus Laptops, Only One Word To Describe – AMAZING!

CES 2021 was probably the best CES for Asus.
At least in terms of Laptops, they announced laptops, which they knew were excellent, and more than that we know that those laptops are excellent, they have Ryzen 5000 series CPUs and RTX 30 series GPUs across the board, starting from the base model to the top tier models, and with up to 360Hz display and much more, this is seriously a bad new for the intel, but good news for us consumers.

So let’s start with the Laptops.

1) Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and G15

The 2020 ROG Zephyrus G14 was an excellent laptop and was also one of the best laptop released in 2020, it was compact, but at the same time was crazy powerful, now we have the 2021 G14 and G15, and they are even better, they have better thermals(thermals were already excellent in the previous models), some design tweaks and have Ryzen 5000 Series CPUs and RTX 30 series GPUs.

Performance is just awesome on the G14 and G15.

The Build is also excellent on both the devices, it has a magnesium alloy chassis, with some plastic components, it’s sturdy, and feels excellent, you get the Anime-Matrix on the G14 but not on the G15.

Also, the 2K panel on the G14 and the 1440P panel on the G15 are rated at almost 100% DCIP-3 color gamut, it’s like a paradise for Video/Photo editors, for its crazy color accuracy.

With all these specs improvement, the G14 and G15 are clearly some of the best laptops out there for any use case scenario, and now all that matters is the price, as of now there is no official pricing from AMD.

2) Asus TUF A15

The 2020 TUF A15, had some problems with thermals, and it was recommended to use a cool pad with it to get the max performance, but even still the TUF A15 become one of the best selling laptops in many parts of the world just because of its price, even in India, for a Ryzen 9 4900H model it was priced at just ₹96K, which was way cheaper than any of its intel counterparts and any other laptop powered by the Ryzen 9 4900H.

Now the 2020 model has much better thermals, with tons of heat pipes, so the only bad thing about the A15 is now gone, and the internals are also upgraded you can equip it with up to a Ryzen 7 5800H and an RTX 3070.

If Priced rightly then it has the potential to be the best seller from Asus for 2021.

5) Asus ROG Flow X13

The ROG Flow X13 is a 2 in 1 ultrabook, and it’s not a monster in itself, it has a powerful CPU it can be equipped up to Ryzen 9 5900HS but lacks in terms of GPU as the max available option is GTX 1650, but to compensate that it has a port, a port which is one of its kind and also the first one out there on a laptop.
A Port that can use an external GPU to its full potential without losing any performance.

This essential makes this an excellent laptop for most of the people out there, as when going out or when the GPU is not needed just unplug the external GPU and you have an external portable 2 in 1 ultrabook, and when in-home or when you want to game just plug in the external GPU and now you have Gaming laptop beast.
