The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers higher performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and other engineering applications with its more powerful GPU and CPU, making it a good fit for gaming or intensive computing tasks. However, it is heavier and has a bulkier build, so it's not as easy to carry around as the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus, which is lighter and more portable. The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus has a higher resolution screen that's better suited for general use and productivity, especially with its extra vertical space, and it offers a longer battery life, making it a good choice for everyday use and on-the-go professionals. The Dell has integrated graphics, which are less suitable for gaming or intensive graphical tasks compared to the ASUS's dedicated GPU. The choice between these laptops should be based on whether you prioritize performance and gaming capabilities over portability and battery life. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition to be very good for engineering and design, while the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition excels in engineering and design due to its high-performance CPU and GPU, which are crucial for resource-intense tasks, and a screen with high refresh rates that benefit design fluidity, though it has lower portability and louder operating noise. In contrast, the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus offers good performance with a capable CPU and integrated graphics, a better screen resolution in a more portable form factor, and quieter operating noise, but it lacks the high-end dedicated GPU for the most demanding engineering applications.

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 Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is for power users on a budget. If you're looking to maximize CPU and GPU performance on your next 14-inch laptop, then consider the pricier Razer Blade 14 or Asus Zephyrus G14. If you're looking for a thin-and-light 14-inch Ultrabook, then the Asus Zenbook 14 or LG Gram 14 may be better options. For the best of both worlds, however, the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7420 rides a fine line between extreme performance and portability while keeping prices at reasonable levels. Frequent travelers who rely on performance beyond what the Core U-series and integrated graphics series can offer will find the Dell to be a solid solution."
