5 Best Asus Gaming Laptops in 2022

• CPU/Processor: Intel Core i9-12950HX 16-Core processor
• GPU/Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
• RAM/Memory: 2 x 16GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 2 x 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs
• Size: 17.3 inches

Asus spared no expense in its flagship gaming laptop, which is the Republic of Gamers Strix SCAR. It has everything you could ever want or need in this generation of gaming laptops. Both the CPU and processor are top-of-the-line as far as laptop hardware goes.

They were even generous enough to include DDR5 RAM which is still expensive these days. These specs are honestly comparable or nearly identical to premium gaming laptops like the Razer Blade, but this one costs considerably less expensive.

The screen is only QHD or 1440p though, but that doesn’t matter much since anything above that is wasted on such a laptop’s smaller screen.

• CPU/Processor: Intel Core i9-12900H
• GPU/Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
• RAM/Memory: 2 x 16GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs
• Size: 16 inches

The ROG Zephyrus M16 is a good option for those looking to max out the latest games but want a quieter and cooler operation. The secret lies in the Zephyrus’ lower TGP or TDP for its GPU. This essentially supplies less power to the GPU in order to keep temperatures lower.

Of course, there’s a drawback. This means the Zephyrus M16 will perform slightly worse than the Strix SCAR 17 in gaming and productivity tasks that use the GPU. However, it might be worth it for some people who like their gaming laptops without jet engine noises.

Other compromises with the Zephyrus are the lower refresh rate and slightly weaker CPU, but most people won’t notice the difference anyway.

• CPU/Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS
• GPU/Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
• RAM/Memory: 16GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD
• Size: 16 inches

There are lots of uses for touchscreen devices especially if you’re a digital artist or are looking to increase productivity with a neat trick. Or if you just want to show off such a flexible device, then the Asus ROG Flow X16 (2022) will surely turn heads.

It’s one of the few touchscreen laptops that are actually equipped with impressive hardware. Granted, this Asus device can only accommodate up to an RTX 3070 Ti, and even that’s reserved for some regions. Most models come with an RTX 3060.

Still, that’s good enough for modern Ultra gaming. Think of this as a perfect all-in-one tool if you’re both an artist and a gamer.

• CPU/Processor: Intel Core i9-11900H (11th Gen)
• GPU/Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
• RAM/Memory: 32GB DDR4 RAM
• Storage: 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
• Size: 15.6 inches & 14 inches (OLED)

Oh but the ROG Flow simply pales in comparison to another touchscreen laptop from a different model line. That would be the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo 15 and it’s every digital media artist’s dream laptop.

Because this majestic device comes with a smaller 14-inch (diagonal) screen right next to the keyboard. This second screen also acts as a tablet that artists can use for their digital pens.

But those aren’t even the best parts about this laptop. No, the best part is that both of the screens are OLED panels. The OLED panel, for the uninitiated, is the current best panel type for monitors and computer screens. They provide the best blacks and the most ideal color representation.

This makes them perfect for graphic design, photo editing, and video editing. And there are two of them on this laptop.

• CPU/Processor: Intel Core i7-12650H
• GPU/Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
• RAM/Memory: 16GB 4800MHz DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD
• Size: 15.6 inches

As far as budget options go for Asus gaming laptops, the TUF Dash or Gaming models are Asus’ answers for those on a tight budget. Some cost-cutting techniques were employed here, of course, like the smaller storage space and more plastic parts, but the hardware is still mostly intact.

It likely doesn’t have the best cooling or the GPU at maximum TDP, but at least it won’t break the bank too much. In any case, an RTX 3070 is still a high-end GPU that lets you see Raytracing in its full glory.
