The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers high performance suitable for gaming, 3D applications, and machine learning tasks due to its robust graphics and processing power but at the cost of portability and potentially shorter battery life. Conversely, the Gigabyte Aorus 15 balances performance with portability, making it more suited for general use and some engineering tasks while allowing you to be mobile. If top-tier gaming or high-intensity tasks are your priority and you don't mind the extra weight and shorter time away from a power outlet, the Asus would be beneficial. If you seek a compromise between decent performance and easier mobility, the Gigabyte Aorus 15 is the better choice. Give Feedback

Tom's Hardware

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."

Sascha Mölck | December 2022
"The Gigabyte Aorus 15 is a power-hungry gaming beast. The Aorus 15 is designed to run games at QHD and high to max settings. But it also cuts a good figure in other demanding applications such as video editing and rendering. This is made possible by the Core i7 12700H and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop inside the machine. A lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB) allows for short loading times."
