Heating and battery life
You definitely know the ROG Zephyrus gaming line by Asus well, as we only recently brought you a test of the top-notch model Duo 15. The Zephyrus line started with one product, but today several models bear this tag. One of them is the M15 which, however, has little in common with the original Zephyrus. On the outside, it looks like a regular laptop without gimmicks in the form of a secondary display or the AAS.
Heating and battery life
The maximum CPU temperature is somewhere in the middle of measured values, but it is one of the higher ones. The GPU has been heating up more than in other models and 83 degrees Celsius is the third highest measured value. Again, however, these are maximum values, which are mostly the result of a rapid increase in performance and then fall slightly. We will look at a more detailed analysis when comparing the modes and extended tests of Blender.
Battery life is above average for a gaming laptop, which can be seen compared to the Duo 15 and Scar III, that have 50% worse battery life. Although the M15 does not reach the G14, it has even 27% longer battery life. Either way, 5 hours in our demanding YT test is a very good result.
