The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition may cost less and is more geared towards gaming with a high refresh rate screen and a powerful GPU that also supports hardware ray tracing. However, it is heavier and less portable than the Dell Precision 5470, which also has a longer battery life, a higher resolution screen with better color accuracy, and features like facial recognition and a fingerprint reader for added security. The Dell is a premium business laptop that may be more suited for professional engineering software and has a generally higher build quality, heat management, and portability, but it could be more expensive and is not as optimal for gaming or graphic-intensive tasks as the ASUS.

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 Precision 5470 is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is favored for engineering and design due to its powerful AMD CPU and dedicated AMD GPU which excel in demanding tasks, while its IPS screen offers quality visuals; however, it's heavier and less portable than the Dell Precision 5470, which, despite its smaller and lighter build, still provides a solid Intel CPU and professional-grade Nvidia GPU along with a higher resolution and brighter display, making it a formidable choice for on-the-go professionals who require quality performance and portability. The ASUS may have the performance edge for the most intense applications, but the Dell's balanced features and premium build quality make it a versatile and highly portable engineering and design workstation.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Dell Precision 5470 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."
"The Dell Precision 5470 is a mobile workstation that's far more portable than most alternatives. Between its slim 14-inch design and top-quality MIL-STD 810H build, it's one of the best options around for taking professional-grade performance on the road or to the job site. There are tradeoffs for its portability, and users of the most demanding, graphics-intensive applications will need to carry something heavier. But the Dell's exceptional battery life underscores its desirability as the most portable workstation we've seen."
