If performance on intensive tasks such as 3D rendering or machine learning is essential, and you also enjoy gaming, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 with its higher-end GPU might serve you better despite being slightly less portable and having shorter battery life. On the other hand, if you favor a larger screen, more RAM for multitasking and creative work, and longer battery life for productivity without frequent charging, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is the one to go for, though its gaming capabilities are less impressive due to a less powerful GPU.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
