The best Asus gaming laptops 2024
These are the best gaming laptops Asus has to offer
The best Asus gaming laptops offer top-notch performance at (usually!) competitive price points, making it a solid brand of choice for any gamer - be they hardcore or casual.
I've assembled this list based on the best offerings currently available, from the beefy ROG Strix Scar 18 to the sleek and compact ROG Flow X13. Most of the laptops in this list fall under Asus's 'Republic of Gamers' brand, better known as ROG, though there are some other options that are worth checking out.
As a long-time reviewer of gaming laptops, I've tested more systems than I can count and only include the very best in rankings like this. It helps that Asus typically provides a consistent level of quality that won't break the bank (looking at you, Razer), making these devices worthy of standing among the best gaming laptops on the market. If you're aiming to snag a deal and aren't fussy about which brand you pick, though, be sure to check out our gaming laptop deals page too!
As a serious gamer (who also happens to own Asus's excellent ROG Ally handheld), I know a thing or two about what makes a good gaming laptop. Each laptop in this list has been personally curated by me, so you can be confident that they're not only good - they're the best Asus laptops for any gamer to pick up.

The Asus TUF line is no stranger to affordable great performers. The older Asus TUF A15, for instance, was simply brilliant while keeping things accessible to budget-conscious gamers. The Asus TUF Dash F15 is back to preserve that affordability while also delivering brute strength.
It brings in 12th-gen Intel processors, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 mobile GPUs, and up to a 240Hz 1080p display without costing a fortune - all while also keeping things light, thin, and military-grade durable. This is among the best Asus gaming laptops for those who don’t want to shell out a bunch of money for one.

One of the most powerful gaming laptops that money can buy right now, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 barely breaks a sweat. That excellent performance is due to the impressive specs it’s kitted out with, which also sadly put it out of most people’s reach, price-wise.
If you can afford it, however, there are a few other things you’ll love about it, including that unapologetic design that lights up like Christmas due to its resplendent RGB lighting and that optical-mechanical keyboard that’s simply one of the best we've experienced on a laptop. This isn’t just one of the best Asus gaming laptops. This is among the best of the best out there, and a worthy consideration if you’re not limited by your budget.

Powerful great-value laptops aren’t exactly a dime a dozen, so when one does come out every now and then, we’re only too happy to test it out. The Asus ROG Strix G15 AMD Advantage Edition isn’t just one of the best Asus gaming laptops; it’s also one of the latest best-value laptops to hit the streets. It’s AMD’s successful swing at the high-end, boasting AMD’s top processor and GPU. But, it isn’t just its performance that takes center stage here. That battery life is astounding as well, especially considering those powerful specs.

7. Asus ROG Strix Hero III

The Asus ROG Strix Hero III takes the limitations of its predecessor and improves on them considerably, most notably the thermal performance thanks to its 3D Flow Zone. There’s a lot going for this Asus gaming laptop too, including its great speakers, number pad on the keyboard and the wraparound RGB light bar for a more immersive gaming experience. But perhaps the best features of this gaming laptop are the ROG Keystone, which unlocks customized effects and game-specific profiles when docked, and the 1080p display that rocks 144Hz to 240Hz refresh rate. Round those out with 9th-generation Intel Core processors and the best budget to mid-range Nvidia graphics cards for gaming, and you’ve got one incredible machine.
