Reviewer score 52%There is a healthy selection of integrated ports including RJ-45, HDMI, and USB-C with DisplayPort support. Thunderbolt 3 is not supported and there is no SD card reader. The Intel AX200 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. There is no integrated webcam which Asus says is due to the very narrow bezels around the display.

Reviewer score 69%Asus uses the weakest version of the RTX 3080 laptop GPU that has an 80-watt TDP (100 watts including Dynamic Boost) The low TDP has a correspondingly negative impact on performance. As long as you limit yourself to the native resolution, the Zephyrus G15 delivers very good performance in games.
