The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is positioned as a higher-priced gaming laptop with robust performance for demanding tasks such as intensive gaming and 3D rendering, but it is less portable due to its size and weight. The HP Spectre x360, on the other hand, offers a more balanced approach with versatile use as a convertible and pen support, and at a lower price point. It is also more portable but may not handle intensive tasks as well as the ASUS. Consider the ASUS if you require high performance for gaming or engineering tasks, and the HP Spectre if you prioritize portability, touchscreen functionality, and a lower price. Give Feedback

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."

"As we said, Lenovo's Yoga 9i is a tough competitor to the Spectre with an equally admirable OLED display. We're sad that neither of them has an HDMI port nor a niche or slot to hold the stylus, though the HP wins points for its bundled mini docking station and magnetically attached pen. Your choice will come down to screen shape—and in our eyes, just as seeing an OLED screen spoils you for an IPS panel, enjoying a tall 3:2 display spoils you for a more conventional view. The HP Spectre x360 13.5 is our new favorite 2-in-1."
