The ASUS ROG Strix G16 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize a vibrant display and crisp resolution for tasks like browsing and productivity, the ASUS ROG Strix G16's better brightness and resolution offer a clearer and more pleasant view than the G15, making long hours spent on general applications more comfortable for your eyes. For engineering and design work, where color accuracy is crucial, the G16's superior color gamut coverage ensures more true-to-life colors, which is essential for professional editing and rendering. However, for gaming or working with 3D applications where motion smoothness is key, despite the good image quality of both, they fall short due to lower refresh rates that could lead to less fluid visuals during fast-paced scenes.

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."

"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."
