The ASUS R410MA is significantly more affordable and offers portability with its lighter weight and long battery life, making it suitable for basic tasks such as web browsing and document editing. However, if you need a laptop for more demanding applications like 3D rendering, machine learning, gaming or engineering software, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, although pricier and heavier, delivers much better performance with its powerful processor and graphics card, higher quality display with better color accuracy, and faster refresh rate, but with a tradeoff in battery life compared to the R410MA.

The ASUS R410MA with a basic CPU, minimal RAM, and an entry-level integrated GPU is less suited for demanding engineering work, while its TN panel offers lower screen quality compared to the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, which comes with a robust CPU, substantial RAM, a high-end dedicated GPU, and a high-quality IPS display, making it very suitable for engineering and design tasks. Additionally, the R410MA has better portability due to its lighter weight; however, it has lower keyboard and speaker quality, and might produce more operating noise in comparison, which are less critical but relevant for comfort and user experience.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the ASUS R410MA for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS R410MA may disappoint with its screen which likely lacks the resolution, brightness, and panel quality for crisp and vibrant images, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers a screen with better resolution and brightness, enhancing daily computing experiences. When focusing on engineering and design, the ASUS R410MA falls short due to limited color accuracy and range, not meeting professional standards for color-sensitive work, whereas the ROG Strix G15 boasts a screen that likely includes a wider color gamut for more precise color representation. For gaming and 3D applications, even though the ASUS ROG Strix G15 provides suitable quality for general and design use, its lower refresh rate compared to highly specialized gaming laptops could lead to less fluid motion and responsiveness during fast-paced gaming or 3D rendering.

Matthew Buzzi | August 2021
"The Asus Laptop L410 is a super-affordable PC, even among budget notebooks, compromising on the display and processing power to deliver a serviceable Windows machine with good battery life and useful ports. The build is reasonably solid, there’s a good mix of ports, battery life is long enough, and it can perform basic everyday tasks. On the flip side, the screen is poor, anything other than basic tasks is a tough ask, and it has little memory and even less storage."

"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."
