If you prioritize high-end gaming or any other graphics-intensive tasks, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is designed for that purpose, with a more robust processor and graphics card, as well as more RAM and storage. However, it's heavier and less portable. On the other hand, the HP 14" Laptop is much more affordable and portable, making it suitable for general use and everyday tasks, but it lags in performance compared to the ASUS, particularly for demanding engineering applications, 3D rendering, or machine learning. Choose the ASUS for power and the HP for everyday use and portability. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 has a screen that provides vivid colors and sharp details suitable for general use and engineering tasks, where color accuracy for design work is critical, but it lags in refresh rates, which is key for smooth gaming and 3D rendering. The HP 14" Laptop's screen offers adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and some design work, but it doesn't cover the wide color gamuts that professional designers might need. For gaming and 3D applications, its display doesn't support high refresh rates, resulting in less fluid motion compared to gaming-oriented laptops.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the HP 14" Laptop 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."
"This feels like an ideal laptop for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a laptop and isn’t too bothered by things like build quality or construction. It’s a laptop that will be used to pay bills, keep track of expenses, do some online shopping, and will be tucked away in a spare bedroom/home office. It’s an appliance designed to do a job without fuss. It’s not a premium experience—the materials do feel a little cheap, the display won’t exactly wow you, and the battery life is nothing to write home about, especially if you’ve used more expensive devices. But overall it’s not too shabby, especially for the price."
