If you prioritize performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition with its higher-end AMD processor and dedicated gaming GPU could be the better choice, but it is heavier and less portable. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is more affordable, lighter, and has an OLED display with better colors and higher resolution, which may be beneficial for general use and media consumption, but it offers less storage and lower performance due to its integrated graphics—making it less suitable for intensive engineering tasks or gaming.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 for gaming and AI, and content creation, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
If you prioritize a crisp and bright display for tasks like browsing and office work, the Vivobook Pro 14 with its higher resolution and luminosity excels for general use. The Vivobook also stands out for engineering and design due to its wider color gamut coverage, crucial for color-sensitive work. However, for gaming or 3D work, both the Vivobook and the ROG Strix G15 may fall short as their refresh rates aren't as high as specialized gaming laptops, which can limit the smoothness of fast-paced visuals.

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."

"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
