When considering the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition or the HP 17" Laptop, think about what’s more important for your usage. The ASUS is a better fit for gaming and intensive tasks like 3D rendering and engineering software due to its powerful GPU and CPU. However, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less convenient if you need to move around a lot. The HP, on the other hand, is lighter and easier to carry, suitable for general use with decent performance and longer battery life, but it won't manage demanding applications as well as the ASUS.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is good for gaming and AI, while the HP 17" Laptop is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition provides a superior gaming and 3D experience because it's equipped with a powerful AMD RX 6800M GPU and boasts a high screen refresh rate of 300 Hz, which significantly smoothes on-screen action compared to the HP 17" Laptop that has an integrated AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 GPU and a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz. While the HP 17" Laptop offers a larger 17.3-inch screen which might be preferred for screen real estate, the quality of gaming and 3D tasks will be constrained by its lower-performance graphics and refresh rate capabilities.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is very good for engineering and design, while the HP 17" Laptop is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is very good for engineering and design thanks to its powerful AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and dedicated AMD RX 6800M GPU, making it suitable for demanding tasks, but it's heavier and slightly bulkier than the HP 17" Laptop which weighs less and hence more portable. The HP 17" Laptop, while still good for engineering and design with its AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and integrated Vega 8 graphics, offers a larger screen but less graphical performance and computing power compared to the ASUS.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the HP 17" Laptop for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers vibrant colors and sharp resolution, making it suitable for general use and engineering where clear visuals and color accuracy are critical. However, its lower refresh rate affects fluidity in fast-paced 3D applications and games, diminishing its gaming performance. The HP 17" Laptop's screen provides adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and some engineering work, but it lacks the color range professionals need and the high refresh rate desired for smooth 3D rendering and gaming experiences.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the HP 17" 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."
"As far as starter laptops go, the HP Laptop 17 is a sound investment. Sure, it might not be the lightest of options, but what you get for the price is a well-rounded machine that fits multiple niches. Whether it be office duties that require you to multi-task between multiple programs, or study tasks in which you’ll spend hours browsing online, this laptop does it all. Plus, when it's time to unwind, you can watch your favorite shows or movies on a super-wide display. What's best of all is that you can do all this for about half a day on a single charge."
