The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is more budget-friendly and offers solid performance for gaming, but its portability is less impressive due to its heavier weight compared to the Gigabyte Aorus 17H. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H is a premium-priced laptop with a larger screen size, which is better for immersive gameplay and creative applications but may be more challenging to carry around. Both are suitable for intensive gaming and have good heat management, but if you need a laptop for engineering tasks or professional applications that benefit from a high-refresh screen, the Aorus may offer an edge with its more powerful graphics card and slightly better screen quality.

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."

"Overall though, it’s *lots of swearing* fast, seriously. For work, rendering, gaming, it doesn’t matter, this is a true weapon of performance that’s going to run rings around most high-end desktop systems. If you absolutely have to game at ultra-high refresh rates on the go (but within thinking distance of a plug socket), this is the ticket. I can’t see such an extreme being that appealing to everyone, but if you take your gaming seriously, or even professionally, there’s nothing else out there that comes close that you can still fit in your backpack and travel with."
