The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers better performance for gaming and intensive engineering tasks due to its high-end GPU and CPU, but it is heavier and usually costs more which may affect portability and budget considerations. On the other hand, the ASUS TUF Dash 15 is more affordable and lighter, making it easier to carry around, yet it still provides good performance for general use and gaming, thanks to its capable hardware. The trade-off here is between spending more for higher performance in demanding applications with the G15, versus saving money and gaining portability with the Dash 15, while still getting respectable performance for most tasks.

"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."

"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."
