The HP Spectre x360 14 is very good for general use, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is good.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15, with its high-performance CPU and RAM, excels in handling demanding tasks but is heavier and has a shorter battery life, thus less portable than the HP Spectre x360 14, which offers a balance of good performance, superior screen quality, and longer battery life, making it very suitable for users who prioritize a blend of performance and portability for general use. Although the ASUS may have an edge in power, the HP's 2-in-1 design, better portability, and longer battery life, coupled with a high-quality screen, keyboard, and speakers, make it a more versatile device for general use.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the HP Spectre x360 14 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."
"The numbers don’t lie — the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) is a star, and a hell of a one at that. From performance to battery life, this machine is a dream. But why didn’t I give it a perfect score? Well, I wish the display performed better and that there were more ports to go around. If you’re itching for someone a little cheaper that offers a brighter display and significantly more battery life, I can only recommend the MacBook Pro 14 as a suitable substitute. Otherwise, the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) is the perfect choice for those who want a reliable premium laptop."
