The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers high performance suitable for gaming and intensive engineering tasks due to its powerful AMD processor and dedicated graphics card, but has limited portability because it is heavier and bulkier. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, while slightly pricier, provides versatility as a 2-in-1 convertible that's lighter and more portable with a high-resolution screen, making it ideal for general use and presentations. The Zenbook's battery life is exceptional, far superior to the Strix G15, and it also has a much higher screen resolution, which is great for creative work or watching videos. However, for tasks requiring substantial graphical or computing power, like 3D modeling, machine learning, or high-end gaming, the ROG Strix G15 is the better option despite its heavier weight and larger size.

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 Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
