If performance for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, or machine learning is a priority, and you're okay with a slightly heavier and larger device, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition could be a solid choice. However, if you prefer something more portable with a higher screen resolution and better build quality, consider the Razer Blade 14, although it may cost more. Both have high performance for gaming, but the Razer Blade 14 offers better portability, a higher quality keyboard, and a superior webcam if those factors are important for your daily use. Keep in mind the ASUS has a larger 15.6-inch screen compared to the 14-inch Razer, which might be preferred for multimedia and productivity tasks. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Razer Blade 14 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."
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
