The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 has a more powerful processor and graphics card, making it suitable for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, gaming, and machine learning. It also offers higher storage capacity. However, it's heavier and less portable than the HP Dragonfly Pro 14, which offers a touchscreen, is lighter, and has better battery life, making it more suited for general use and on-the-go activities. The HP also tends to be somewhat less expensive. If you prioritize gaming and high-performance tasks, the ASUS might be your preference, whereas if portability and touch capabilities are more important, consider the HP Dragonfly Pro. Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | February 2021
"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."

"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."
