When selecting between the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the ASUS TUF Gaming F15, consider your main purposes for the laptop. For high-end gaming, machine learning tasks, or demanding software related to engineering, the TUF Gaming F15 with its RTX 4070 offers more power and is slightly less expensive, though it carries a bit more weight than the Strix G15. However, the ROG Strix G15 with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 3050 Ti is generally more suitable for everyday use and moderately intensive tasks and provides a balance between performance and cost. Both laptops have similar screen size and resolution but come with different operating systems pre-installed—Windows 10 for the ROG Strix G15 and Windows 11 for the TUF Gaming F15. Finally, you would get longer usage on a single charge with the TUF Gaming F15 owing to its larger battery capacity. Give Feedback

Marius Schell | February 2021
"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."

"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
