The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition offers longer battery life and is typically less expensive, which could be ideal for extended use on a budget. However, it is heavier and thicker than the Razer Blade 15, making it less convenient for travel. The Razer Blade 15 has a higher resolution display, which is sharper and has better screen colors, but its higher cost and lower battery life require weighing sharper visuals and portability against price and longevity. For demanding graphics work or gaming, the Razer Blade sports a more powerful Nvidia GPU, whereas the ASUS has a solid AMD setup that's also capable, just not as high-end. If engineering work is a key factor, both are competent, but the Razer Blade edges out with slightly better engineering performance due to its more powerful processor and graphics card. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 15 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, both laptops offer sharp visuals and bright displays, with the Razer Blade 15 providing exceptionally rich colors, making it great for watching movies or web browsing. In engineering and design, accurate color reproduction is crucial, and the Razer excels with a wider color gamut, ensuring designers see precise hues and shades. However, for gaming and 3D applications, a high refresh rate contributes significantly to smooth visuals, and in this aspect, both laptops fall short, leading to less fluid motion and potential screen tearing during fast-paced scenes.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Razer Blade 15 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 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
