The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is tailored for intensive gaming with a powerful graphics card and higher refresh rate display, which is bulkier and heavier, making it less portable. The HP Dragonfly Pro 14", being lighter and sporting a touchscreen with a higher resolution and aspect ratio, is more suited for general use and business applications. Its portability makes it a great on-the-go option while sacrificing some gaming and engineering performance compared to the ASUS. If gaming and engineering tasks are your priority, the ASUS might serve you better, but if you need something for productivity with better mobility, go for the HP Dragonfly Pro. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" for general use, and gaming and AI, while the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize a vibrant, sharp display for tasks like browsing, watching videos or document editing, the quality of both the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the HP Dragonfly Pro's screens are well-suited to general use due to their satisfactory resolution and brightness levels. For engineering and design work where precise color representation is vital, both laptops offer good color accuracy with their color gamuts, supporting work that involves detailed visuals and color-critical applications. However, if you're a hardcore gamer or into 3D modeling, neither laptop is ideal because despite having decent resolutions and panel types, their refresh rates are not high enough to ensure the smoothest possible visual experience that such demanding applications usually require.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" 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."
"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."
