The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers high performance, especially in 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering, thanks to its AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and RX 6800M GPU, making it suitable for intensive gaming and demanding tasks. However, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, which may impact its portability. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is lighter and has a higher resolution OLED display, which provides better color reproduction and is ideal for general usage with tasks including multimedia consumption where display quality is important. It's less expensive but doesn't match the ROG Strix G15 in terms of performance for gaming or heavy computational tasks. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED and ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition are both good for general use.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is equipped with a high-performance CPU and ample RAM, making it suitable for demanding applications and multitasking, but its heavier weight and gaming laptop appearance may not appeal to all users for general use.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED and ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition are both very good for engineering and design.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is very suitable for engineering and design due to its high-performance AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and dedicated AMD RX 6800M GPU, which significantly enhance computation and graphics capabilities for complex tasks, but it's less portable and has moderate screen quality. The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED, while also good for engineering and design with its latest Intel i9 CPU and high-resolution OLED screen offering exceptional color accuracy and contrast, might have limitations in graphics-intensive tasks due to the integrated GPU rather than a dedicated one, though it offers better portability and screen quality.

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 S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
