The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers a higher battery capacity which translates to longer use on a single charge, and its performance is tailored towards intensive gaming and engineering tasks with a higher refresh rate screen which is great for fast motion, but it is heavier and therefore less portable than the Lenovo LOQ 15. On the other hand, the Lenovo LOQ 15, while typically less expensive and lighter in weight making it more portable, has a shorter battery life and is equipped with a lower refresh rate screen, but it still offers good performance for general use and engineering tasks, and its newer graphics card supports DLSS for better gaming visuals. If you frequently travel or need a lighter laptop, the Lenovo may be the better choice, but if gaming, battery life, and screen refresh rates are top priorities, the ASUS could be the one for you.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the Lenovo LOQ 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo LOQ 15 has a better screen for content creation.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and Lenovo LOQ 15 both offer displays with sufficient resolution and brightness that make them suitable for everyday tasks such as browsing the web or working with office documents; this contributes to their good screen quality for general use. For engineering and design, both laptops' screens cover a wide range of colors which is crucial when precision in color rendering is required, ensuring that designers see accurate hues and shades. However, for gaming and 3D applications where the smoothness of motion is key, the lower refresh rates on these laptops' screens may not provide the most fluid visual experience, which is why they are considered to have poor screen quality for these particular uses.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Lenovo LOQ 15 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."
"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
