If you need a laptop primarily for gaming or demanding tasks like video editing, the ASUS ROG Strix could be worthwhile despite its higher cost, as it offers superior performance and graphics capabilities. However, if your uses are more everyday, such as web browsing, office applications, and media consumption, the Jumper laptop may suffice while being lighter on your wallet. Keep in mind that with the ASUS, you're looking at a heavier device with likely shorter battery life, which could impact portability and convenience for on-the-go use. Give Feedback

"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."
