For general use, the Acer Aspire Go 15 is a cost-effective choice with decent performance and battery life, though it falls short in gaming and intensive tasks due to its basic processor and lack of a dedicated GPU. It's also quite portable and has a good-quality screen for everyday tasks. In contrast, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is a powerhouse for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning, thanks to its high-performance CPU and GPU, but it's heavier, more expensive, and has a shorter battery life. Its superior screen and color accuracy also make it suitable for engineering tasks, though it's less portable than the Acer. If you prioritize performance over portability and cost, the ASUS is the way to go; otherwise, the Acer is a solid choice for everyday computing. Give Feedback

Tom's Hardware
Andrew E. Freedman | August 2022
"The Asus ROG Strix G15, as the first in a line of "AMD Advantage"-branded notebooks, is a statement that yes, you can get a premium AMD gaming notebook. Maybe you can't have it all, but you can get pretty close. The ROG Strix G15's combination of the AMD Ryzen 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, as well as other technologies that take advantage of them, make a potent, thin gaming machine. Powerful Dolby Atmos speakers and long battery life when you aren't gaming are nice bonuses."
