The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers a large battery and a high-refresh-rate screen which is well-suited for gaming, but it's heavier making it less portable. It features all-AMD components with a powerful CPU and GPU combination that provides solid performance for both gaming and engineering tasks. In contrast, the Eluktronics RP-15 has a higher resolution screen which is better for detailed work and engineering applications, plus it's more portable due to its lighter weight. It is equipped with an Nvidia GPU that supports ray tracing and DLSS, enhancing gaming and creative work that benefits from AI acceleration. Both are similarly priced and feature a midrange cost, so your decision should be based on whether you prioritize screen resolution and portability (Eluktronics RP-15) or battery life and a high-refresh-rate display for fast-paced gaming (ASUS G15).

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Eluktronics RP-15 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."
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
