The Asus ROG Strix G15 is built for high-end gaming and could excel in demanding tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning due to its high performance hardware. If gaming or performance-intensive applications are important to you, and budget is less of a concern, this may justify its higher price. However, it may not be as portable due to its size and weight, and could have shorter battery life. On the other hand, if you primarily need a laptop for general use like web browsing, office applications, or light photo editing, the Lenovo V15 may be more cost-effective. It's likely to be lighter and offer better battery life, making it more portable, but won't match the performance capabilities of the Asus for heavy tasks. Choose the Asus for performance at the cost of portability and price, or the Lenovo for general use, portability, and savings. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Strix G15 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 offers a well-balanced display, with high resolution and brightness suited for general tasks, and covers a wide range of colors, making it suitable for engineering and design work. However, for gaming and 3D, while its resolution and panel type are satisfactory, it falls short on refresh rate, which is crucial for smooth visuals in fast-paced environments. The Lenovo V15's display does not meet the requirements for general use, engineering, or gaming due to low brightness, limited color coverage, and an insufficient refresh rate, resulting in a less vibrant and responsive visual experience across the board.

"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 strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
