If you're prioritizing performance for gaming or heavy tasks like 3D modeling, the Asus ROG Strix may be worth the higher price, but consider that it will be heavier and might have a shorter battery life than the LG Gram, which offers better portability and longer battery life, making it suitable for everyday tasks and travel. The LG Gram is usually lighter on the wallet and ideal for general use, but won't match the Asus in handling demanding software. Choose based on whether mobility or high performance is your essential need. 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."

"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
