The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers superior gaming and engineering performance with a high refresh rate display, making it suitable for intensive tasks and gaming, but it's heavier and has shorter battery life than the Dell Inspiron 14 7425, which can be a drawback for portability. The Dell Inspiron 14 7425 is more portable, has a touchscreen, and is better suited for general use with a higher resolution and aspect ratio, but its performance for gaming and engineering won't match the ASUS. Consider the ASUS if performance is a priority and the Dell if you value portability and touchscreen capability. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ROG Strix G15's display offers clear, sharp visuals with its high resolution and brightness, which enhances everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, while the Dell Inspiron 14's fair quality display provides a satisfactory experience for typical activities, even though it might not be as sharp or bright. In engineering and design, the ASUS screen's wide color gamut accurately represents a broad range of colors, crucial for precision in creative work, but the Dell's fair screen may not display colors as accurately, making it less suitable for professional color work. For gaming and 3D applications, the ASUS falls short due to a lower refresh rate, leading to less fluid motion, whereas the Dell also struggles with gaming performance because of the same limitation, plus both may not offer the desired resolution for specific high-end gaming or 3D requirements.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 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."
"Overall, this Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a lot to like, especially at its oft-discounted price of $800. It’s a sturdy laptop with strong performance, a convertible touchscreen, loud speakers, and a convenient fingerprint reader. But the trade-offs you’ll make in pursuit of that lower price—most notably the dim display and stiff trackpad—might just keep you from outright loving it."
