The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is a solid choice for intensive gaming and general use, offering a midrange price point, robust battery life, and a high refresh rate display. Its AMD Ryzen CPU and RX GPU make a powerful combo for demanding tasks; however, it's heavier and might be less portable. On the other hand, the Eluktronics Mech-15 G3R leans towards the premium side with higher costs, featuring an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU known for their performance in 3D tasks, machine learning, and engineering software. It has a higher resolution display with a slightly lower refresh rate and is lighter, making it easier to carry around. Your decision should be guided by whether portability, screen sharpness, and budget constraints are more critical for you than raw graphical power and battery longevity. 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."

"Everything considered, the XMG Neo 15 (Mech-15 G3R) with RTX 3070 Ti is a great gaming performer. The combination of the Ti graphics card with the new Intel 12th gen CPU is enough to go toe-to-toe, and even slightly pull ahead of the RTX 3080 in most titles, though on games with Ray-Tracing enabled, particularly with graphics set to the maximum and on higher resolutions, the additional VRAM of the RTX 3080 makes a big impact, and the 8GB RTX 3070 Ti machine simply can’t compete, even with the more powerful processor."
