This ASUS ROG G513QM-HF070 is definitely a gamer's dream come true. Its superb, state-of-the-art technology reaches new heights of power to squeeze the most out of new gaming performance. Of course, the exclusive design and the unlimited level of customisation give it that indispensable seductive touch that gamers demand. Overall, we are very satisfied with the ROG Strix G513 with fierce specifications with the Ryzen 9 5900 HX and RTX 3060. CPU performance is slightly limited on battery power. The Cinebench multi-thread scores are a good 10% lower on battery power than when plugged in.

The Strix G15 is one of the best gaming laptops that ASUS has produced till date, and when you take the price into consideration, I think it is the gaming laptop to beat in 2021. The lighting customization options universally affect the G512 and G513 gaming keyboards by default. However, you can also configure lighting settings to be set on a per profile basis.

What I really like about the Strix G15 is the nice balance between resolution and refresh rate, giving the user the best of both worlds. Per-key lighting customization is available, as is a decent amount of lighting presets such as color wave, breathing, ripple effects, and a really cool animation that makes it appear like an ocean wave is lapping across the keyboard. As mentioned above, you can also create your own animations, either from scratch or by copying a pre-existing one and customizing it. Creating anything worth looking at definitely has a learning curve, but it’s kind of neat if you’re looking to make your keyboard truly stand out. Your Effects: create and manage your own animated lighting effects. Choose from one of the 16 presets or read Create and manage lighting effects with Logitech Gaming Software to learn how to create your own. The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 30 °C / 86 F and are therefore cool to the touch.

This new Romer-G Linear Switch, according to Logitech, promises a quieter and 25% faster keystroke than competitors. After using the keyboard for about a week, we feel the peripheral maker has fully delivered on its claims, and has developed a key switch that’s better than the Cherry MX Red switch. We call the ASUS ROG Strix G513QR a great choice when you need a comfortable and powerful laptop for gaming and multimedia. The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 37.8 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the devices in the class Gaming.
