The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Lenovo Legion 7 are both solid choices at a similar price point, but they cater to different needs. The ASUS model has a powerful AMD CPU and GPU combination suitable for gaming and intensive tasks, with a higher battery capacity that could mean longer use between charges and vibrant keyboard lighting. In comparison, the Lenovo Legion 7 offers a higher resolution and larger screen with a taller aspect ratio, which can be better for multitasking and productivity. Its NVIDIA GPU also supports ray tracing and DLSS for advanced gaming visuals. Both have ample RAM and storage for general usage, but the Legion has double the storage capacity. If portability is a concern, the Legion is slightly lighter and thinner but has a shorter stated battery life. Therefore, if gaming performance and battery life are priorities, the ASUS might suit you better; however, for a higher resolution display and advanced graphical features, plus a bit more portability, the Lenovo Legion 7 stands out.

"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."

"The Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."
