The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 offers greater portability and a higher resolution touchscreen, suitable for on-the-go use and for creative tasks that benefit from direct screen interaction. However, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a larger screen and a more powerful battery, which may be better for extended gaming sessions and heavy computing tasks. Both laptops are similarly priced and equipped for gaming, machine learning, and engineering uses. If a compact and versatile form factor is important, the ROG Flow Z13 is preferable, while the ROG Strix G15 is geared towards users needing a traditional gaming laptop with longer unplugged performance.

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13's higher resolution and brightness offer clearer and more vibrant visuals than the Strix G15, while the panel type ensures wide viewing angles. Engineering and design professionals benefit from the Flow Z13's wider color gamuts, providing more accurate color representation essential for precise work. However, when it comes to gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rate of the Flow Z13's screen leads to less fluid motion compared to screens with higher refresh rates, which is a drawback for fast-paced visuals.

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 and ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition are both very good for engineering and design.
The ASUS ROG Flow Z13's high-resolution touchscreen and convertible design with a detachable keyboard make it an excellent choice for engineering and design use where portability and multi-mode use are beneficial, along with its robust CPU and GPU for demanding tasks. Contrastingly, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, with its larger screen and more powerful GPU, provides an advantage for intensive graphical and computational workloads, but is less portable due to its heavier build and traditional clamshell design. Both models offer high-quality keyboards and speakers, with the Strix G15 standing out for its better battery life and the Flow Z13 for its quieter operating noise.

How the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 and the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a gaming tablet with powerful Alder Lake i9 CPU. The ROG Flow Z13 impresses with its good cooling. After our review, the impression is predominantly positive. Besides a very fast Alder Lake CPU and stable gaming performance, especially the cooling system is surprisingly effective and quiet. You can use the integrated speakers without any issues while gaming. The 1200p display in the 16:10 format also impresses with good color reproduction and high brightness. Since the battery runtimes aren't particularly long as it is, we wouldn't recommend the optional 4K panel."
"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."
