The ASUS TUF Dash 15 is less expensive and offers good performance for gaming and general use, with a high-refresh-rate screen and dedicated gaming features. However, it's heavier and larger than the Dell Precision 5470, making it less portable. The Dell Precision 5470, on the other hand, costs more but is lighter, more compact, and has a higher-resolution screen with better color accuracy, which is beneficial for professional design and engineering work. The Precision 5470 also comes with Windows 11 Pro and is aimed at business use. Both have similar battery life and are equipped with powerful processors and graphics, but the Dell has a business-grade GPU compared to the ASUS's consumer gaming GPU. Give Feedback

"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."

"The Dell Precision 5470 is a mobile workstation that's far more portable than most alternatives. Between its slim 14-inch design and top-quality MIL-STD 810H build, it's one of the best options around for taking professional-grade performance on the road or to the job site. There are tradeoffs for its portability, and users of the most demanding, graphics-intensive applications will need to carry something heavier. But the Dell's exceptional battery life underscores its desirability as the most portable workstation we've seen."
