The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 and ASUS TUF Gaming A15 both have panels with sufficient resolution and brightness which are ideal for general use and engineering tasks where fine detail and color accuracy benefit activities like CAD and graphic design. While suitable for these applications, their screens might not be optimal for gaming or 3D work, as a high refresh rate is crucial for smooth visuals in fast-paced environments, and both models have poor screen quality in this regard. Furthermore, for 3D graphics where fluid motion and quick renderings are essential, the moderate importance of resolution and panel type also may not meet the demands of enthusiasts and professionals in this field.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 compare to other laptops
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."
"With the release of the TUF Gaming A15, Asos have concentrated on the essentials: gaming performance. Our base version, which can be had for around $1,169, already provided enough power to play current games smoothly in a native resolution of 1080p and with maximum details - thanks to its new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. If you utilize upscaling, then you can even manage to run ray tracing."
