First, let's look at some points to consider when choosing a PC.

This article summarizes the ASUS ROG gaming laptop released in 2023.

We have also created a table to make comparisons easier, so please refer to it if you are considering purchasing one.

First, for those who are not familiar with PCs, I will write about the points to consider when choosing a PC.

CPU and GPU become the benchmark for performance

The CPU and GPU are the performance criteria when choosing a PC.

The mainstream CPUs are the Intel Core series and the AMD Ryzen series. These two are the mainstream, but Ryzen has only become popular in the last few years, so I think there are still not many users who buy PCs equipped with it.

GPUs are an important component for reproducing images and videos. NVIDIA's GeForce RTX and AMD's Radeon are famous.

Generally, the higher the numbers after the CPU and GPU product name, the better the performance and the higher the price.

If the memory capacity is small, the operation of the browser etc. will become slow.

Furthermore, memory capacity is also important. If the memory capacity is small, even the browser will run slowly. Excel and Word may not work properly.

Choose a memory card with a minimum capacity of 16GB or more.

If you expect to have a lot of data, choose a larger SSD.

When it comes to SSDs for storing various data, if you have the budget, it is better to choose one that is a little larger.

If you store a variety of data such as images, videos, and games on your SSD and most of the capacity is used up, your PC may start to slow down. Even if your PC doesn't run slowly, you may run into problems such as not having enough space for a new game you want to install, and you may have to go through the trouble of organizing your data.

A storage capacity of at least 512GB is recommended, but if you have the budget, it is better to purchase something with a larger capacity.

List of ROG Strix (2023)

The CPU is Core i7 or higher, and the GPU is in the RTX 4000 series, making it quite high performance.

The 512GB SSD model may not be suitable for those who want to keep multiple games installed.

The lightest model weighs just 2.5kg, which is heavier than a regular laptop.

ROG Zephyrus series list

The GA402 is available in two colors, black and white. Even if you search various manufacturers and brands, there are few products that come in white, so if you like white, be sure to check it out.

duo seriesThe is characterized by having a second display above the keyboard. However, the disadvantage is that the main body is larger and heavier because of the display.

The GX650 and GU604 are very high spec products. The display also supports 240Hz, making it possible to play games very smoothly.

The GU604 is the only one with a Core i9 CPU. It seems that there are some software that is not compatible with AMD's Ryzen, so if you want more stable operation, it is better to choose Intel's Core.

ROG Flow Series List

The ROG Flow is characterized by its touch screen.

You can turn it into a tablet-like device by removing the keyboard.
It seems that they have tried to make the phone lighter by making the screen smaller in order to take advantage of this feature.

However, it seems to be a little inferior in specs compared to other models in the series.

If you want something compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, this series is recommended.

lastly

ROG is a famous ASUS brand, so the price is quite high, but there is no doubt about the performance.

Looking at the CPUs and GPUs on this list, many of them are high-end models among gaming PCs.

However, since what is written here is a laptop, I think that not only the specs but also the weight will be an important point, so you need to be careful.

If you want something lighter, you'll need to choose one with a slightly smaller screen.

I hope this will be helpful for those who are considering purchasing a gaming PC.
