The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is designed for high performance and gaming, with a powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, making it well-suited for intensive tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning. It also has a larger screen and high refresh rates, but this makes it heavier and less portable. On the other hand, the LG Ultra 13 is more affordable and offers excellent portability due to its lightweight design and smaller screen, making it ideal for general use and on-the-go productivity. It does, however, have lesser performance capabilities and would not be as suitable for demanding engineering tasks or gaming. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the LG Ultra 13 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 13.3-inch LG Gram is a fine fit if you need to travel as light as possible for as long as possible without spending a fortune to do it. It might not be particularly sturdy or have an eye-catching design and its webcam is less than ideal, but with its sharp touch display, comfortable backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad and a fingerprint reader for extra security, the Gram makes a respectible everyday laptop for business or school work."
