The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition would be better for gaming and intensive engineering software due to a powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, but it's heavier and has a bulkier design which affects portability. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, with its high-resolution touchscreen and lighter, slimmer build, is tailored for general use and business applications, offering better portability and a premium appearance. The ThinkPad is also more expensive but comes with professional features like a fingerprint reader and facial recognition, making it a better choice for business users who value portability and security. Choose the ASUS if gaming or heavy software tasks are your priority, or opt for the Lenovo for business use and portability. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is very suitable for engineering and design tasks due to its powerful AMD Ryzen CPU, ample RAM coupled with a high-end AMD GPU, and an IPS screen that offers good brightness and color coverage, at the cost of being heavier and thicker which affects its portability. Conversely, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, while also good for such tasks with a capable Intel CPU and integrated graphics, a high-resolution IPS touchscreen for sharper images, is lighter and thinner with a higher portability score, but it may not handle the most demanding workloads as smoothly as the ASUS.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for gaming and AI, and content creation.
For general use, both the Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga offer clear, sharp displays with ample resolution and brightness, making text, images, and videos look great for everyday tasks and media consumption. In engineering and design, the screens on both laptops provide a wide color range, including accurate DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB reproduction, essential for tasks requiring color precision like photo editing and CAD work. However, for gaming and 3D applications that benefit from smooth motion, the lower refresh rate of these screens could lead to less fluid visuals compared to models with higher refresh rates, which are preferable for these uses.

"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 ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
