When choosing between the ASUS ROG Strix G16 and the Razer Blade 15, consider that the ASUS may offer more value for intense gaming or engineering tasks with its strong performance at a lower cost, but it's bulkier, reducing portability. The Razer Blade 15, on the other hand, is sleeker and often favored for its premium build and portability, making it an excellent choice for professionals who are frequently on the move, but it usually comes at a higher price. If battery life is crucial for your day-to-day activities, the Razer might have an edge, while the ASUS could be better for longer, plugged-in sessions. Give Feedback

Marc Herter | March 2023
"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 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
