The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers better performance for intensive engineering tasks, gaming, and 3D/machine learning compared to the MSI Prestige 14, thanks to its higher-powered CPU and GPU. It also features a screen with a higher refresh rate and better coverage of different color spaces, making it more suitable for tasks where color accuracy and fast motion are important. However, it is heavier and bulkier, making it less portable. On the other hand, the MSI Prestige 14 is much lighter and more portable, with a significantly better battery life, making it a better choice for general use and on-the-go productivity, but with less power for demanding tasks.

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."

"The MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode."
