The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers a solid balance with decent portability for a gaming laptop, reasonable battery life, and is equipped to handle general and engineering tasks with good performance. Contrastingly, the ASUS ROG Strix G17 possesses superior screen resolution and aspect ratio, larger screen size, a more powerful processor and graphics card which makes it more suitable for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. However, the G17 is less portable due to its larger size and has shorter battery life, which could be a drawback if mobility and time away from a power source are top priorities for you.

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."

Mark Knapp | October 2023
"The Asus ROG Strix G17 is an attractive but unbalanced gaming laptop. Its potent AMD Ryzen 9 processor excels in 1080p gaming, but playing at 1440p leaves the middling GeForce RTX 4060 GPU shouldering most of the burden. The display is exceptionally colorful, which is handy for content creators, but since this is a gaming laptop it would be better served with improved HDR capabilities. If battery life isn't a priority, the Strix G17 could serve as a designer by day and a gamer by night."
