The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is geared towards gaming and heavy performance tasks with its more powerful processor and graphics card. It has longer battery life and is ideal if you work on graphically demanding applications. However, it is heavier and less portable, making it cumbersome for travel. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is sleeker, lighter, and highly portable, with a higher-resolution OLED touchscreen and better color accuracy, making it suitable for general use and content creation. Its battery life is shorter, and the internal hardware isn't as powerful as the G15, so intensive tasks and gaming might be limited. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is better suited for gaming and 3D applications due to its powerful GPU and high screen refresh rate, both of which are very important for these tasks and provide smoother visuals and better frame rates. The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED, while still offering a quality display and a competent CPU, doesn't match the gaming prowess of the ROG Strix G15 due to a less capable GPU and lower screen refresh rate, making it only fair for gaming and 3D use.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen for general use, engineering and design, and content creation.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 has a decent display with good resolution and brightness making it suitable for everyday tasks and engineering software, but its refresh rate is lower, which disappoints in gaming where smooth motion is key. The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED boasts superior color accuracy with its OLED panel, benefiting professionals in engineering and design who rely on precise color representation, yet this too lacks the high refresh rate gamers seek in action-packed scenes. Both models fall short for gaming and 3D work because they prioritize high-quality visuals and color accuracy over the faster refresh rates that provide fluid movement in fast-paced environments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition to be very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition excels in engineering and design tasks due to its powerful AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and AMD RX 6800M GPU, allowing for robust performance in computation-intensive applications, complemented by a high-refresh-rate screen for smooth visuals; however, it is heavier and less portable. In comparison, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED, while still good for engineering and design with its newer Intel i5 CPU and vibrant, high-resolution OLED touchscreen, offers more portability and superior screen quality but less raw computational power and graphics capability, which might limit its performance with very demanding engineering software.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED compare to other laptops
"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."
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
