If you prioritize gaming or intensive tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, with its powerful AMD Ryzen processor and dedicated AMD graphics, would be a better fit, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life. However, if you're looking for a more affordable, lightweight option for everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and casual entertainment, the HP 15" Laptop would suit your needs, although it has a less powerful Intel i3 processor and integrated graphics, which limits its performance for demanding applications.

"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."
"Chances are high that the HP 15 is one of the first laptops to pop up when you search for an inexpensive notebook. Indeed, its price tag is very tempting for many, and of course, this is the reason for its popularity. However, the HP 15" suffers from poor performance due to low power consumption. On the bright side, one of the good things about it is the port selection. On the inside, this includes two SODIMM slots for memory, an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage, and a SATA drive bay. However, the TN panel, and mediocre input devices are not ideal."
