The ASUS ROG Strix G15 offers better performance for 3D tasks, machine learning, and engineering due to its superior processor and graphics card, making it a good choice for intensive gaming as well. However, it's more expensive, heavier, and has a shorter battery life, which affects its portability. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is more affordable, lightweight with a longer battery life, and a high-resolution OLED screen that provides better color accuracy, making it great for general use and professional creative work. If portability, screen quality for media consumption, and price are your priorities, the Vivobook Pro 14 is ideal. Conversely, if you need more power for gaming or performance-intensive tasks, the ROG Strix G15 is the better option, at the cost of portability and battery life. 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."

"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
