The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition has a powerful processor and high-end graphics, making it suitable for gaming and resource-intensive engineering tasks, but it’s heavier and less portable than the LG Gram 16. The LG Gram 16, on the other hand, offers a higher resolution display with better colors, more portability due to its light weight, and significantly longer battery life, which is ideal for general use and productivity on-the-go. If performance for activities like 3D rendering, gaming, or machine learning is paramount, the Asus would be a better fit, whereas the LG Gram 16 is more suited for casual use, office tasks, and those who prioritize mobility and battery life.

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is very good for engineering and design, while the LG Gram 16 is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition excels in engineering and design due to its powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and dedicated AMD RX GPU, which enable complex calculations and high-quality graphics rendering, although it is heavier and noisier under load. On the other hand, the LG Gram 16, despite having a capable Intel CPU with integrated graphics that can handle engineering tasks, prioritizes portability and quiet operation, making it more suitable for long sessions of less intense work away from the power outlet, but at the expense of graphical performance.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the LG Gram 16 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."
"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
