The ROG Strix G15 offers huge CPU power and gaming speed \u2013 so it\u2019s ideal for work and play. The case has decent features, but this PC suffers from middling build quality and limited upgradability<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s all too easy to dismiss desktops like the Asus ROG Strix G15DH. Big-brand, high-street hardware has a reputation for being slow, expensive and badly-built \u2013 especially when compared to PCs from specialist firms like Chillblast and PC Specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest Asus rig looks to buck that trend by including a high-end Nvidia RTX graphics card and an eight-core AMD Ryzen CPU for \u00a31,400. Well that\u2019s the model we\u2019ve tested although there are other models available we\u2019ll cover in the price section later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design & Build
\nThe G15DH (also known as the GA15) looks unmistakably like a Republic of Gamers product. The front panel is decorated with a huge ROG logo, and it has jutting angles of plastic and a huge slash of RGB LEDs across the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s more angled plastic on the roof alongside a useful handle, and the front panel has a handy headphone hook. At the front, you\u2019ve got a full-size USB 3.2 port alongside a Type-C connection; at the rear, there are six USB 3.2 ports but no Type-C and only three audio jacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The G15DH\u2019s 10kg weight isn\u2019t bad, and this machine is only 189mm wide \u2013 so it\u2019s not too difficult to move around. It\u2019s a good start, but hands-on time reveals issues. On the outside, there\u2019s poor build quality: the plastic front and roof panels and the metal side panels are both flimsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the inside, there\u2019s little to excite. The plain metal is not painted and the wires are untidy throughout, which is partly why the side isn\u2019t transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CPU cooling is basic, the graphics card is a reference model with no ornamentation and there\u2019s no side panel window. You don\u2019t get any upgrade room from the case, with no 2.5in or 3.5in drive mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
