For a balance of performance and price, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is a strong contender, offering robust gaming and engineering capabilities with its AMD Ryzen 9 processor and RX 6800M graphics. It's also more portable and has a longer battery life, making it suitable for on-the-go use. However, if you prioritize a higher resolution display with better color accuracy and a more versatile 16:10 aspect ratio, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2024) with its Intel i7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics is the way to go. It's also a solid choice for intensive tasks and gaming, though it's slightly heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the ASUS. 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."

Brian Westover | August 2023
"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."
