The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers better performance for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming due to its superior graphics card. It is suitable if you prioritize power for heavy-duty applications and do not mind a slightly heavier and bulkier form factor with a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the LG Gram 16, while offering lesser performance, is highly portable due to its light weight and extended battery life, making it better for general use and frequent travel. It has a higher-resolution display but is not ideal for gaming or intensive graphic tasks. Give Feedback

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."

"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."
