The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is better suited for intensive gaming and engineering tasks due to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, though it's heavier and less portable. In contrast, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is lighter, more portable with a higher battery life, and has a touchscreen, making it ideal for general use and business applications, but it's not as well-equipped for heavy 3D tasks or gaming. Choose the ASUS for performance-heavy tasks and the MSI for on-the-go productivity and touch capability. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo 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."
"MSI wants to prove that it can do more than just gaming laptops and the Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. Normally for subnotebooks or convertibles, TDP and performance are often below average as makers want to meet slimmer designs and lower weight targets. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. If you want a convertible that won't throttle significantly when under load, then this MSI will be one of the better options you can find."
