To assist in your decision between the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17, consider how you will use the laptop. The ROG Strix G15 is tailored for gaming with a high refresh rate display and a powerful graphics card, making it suitable for intensive gaming sessions and tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning projects; however, it's heavier and has a less color-accurate display. On the other hand, the Zenbook Pro 17, while still capable for general use and light gaming with its own dedicated graphics card, shines in creative tasks with a larger and brighter screen, more storage, double the RAM, and superior color accuracy, which is beneficial for photo and video editing. Both have similar battery life and are in the midrange price segment, but the Zenbook Pro 17's larger screen size reduces portability relative to the ROG Strix G15. Give Feedback

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."
