The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is suited for high-performance tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or intensive engineering software due to its more powerful processor and graphics card, but it is heavier which makes it less portable, and its price is higher. On the other hand, the HP Envy x360 15" is more budget-friendly and offers great versatility with its touchscreen and convertible design, making it suitable for general use and it's lighter, hence more portable. However, its performance in demanding tasks is not as strong compared to the ASUS, due to its less powerful processor and integrated graphics. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, a laptop with a good blend of panel type, resolution, and brightness, such as the ASUS ROG Strix G15, offers a crisp and vibrant viewing experience making it suitable for daily activities like browsing and video streaming. In engineering and design tasks, accurate color representation is crucial, and the ASUS's adherence to wider color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB ensures precise color fidelity for professional work. However, despite the ASUS's strengths, its lower refresh rate is less optimal for gaming and 3D applications, where the HP Envy might fall short on color gamut for designing but could offer a more fluid visual experience for games, if it had a high refresh rate screen.

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."

"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
