Pros and Cons

AORUS 17G

Strengths

A great laptop in my opinion with a good display, excellent keyboard and trackpad, supreme build quality.
Supreme build quality that feels great to hold from any angle
Mechanical switches on the keyboard feel awesome to type in
Silky smooth trackpad is excellent too
17.3 inch ips panel with a 300hz refresh rate and a 1080p resolution provides good image quality and excellent refresh rate
98.8 percent of srgb color gamut coverage ensures bright vibrant games look really good
Excellent performance with no stuttering or frame drops in gaming

Weaknesses

Heavy at 2.7 kilograms, making it not a super understated design and quite bulky
Lackluster speakers if I'm honest
Battery life may be short, lasting up to seven hours with regular use (doubtful)
No Thunderbolt 4 port for future-proofing and faster data transfer speeds
Portability is compromised due to its thick and heavy design
Similar laptops like Razer and Zephyrus G14 offer similar prices and specs, but with added benefits of portability and a subtle design
Costs around $2000, which may be steep for some users

Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517

Strengths

The new Asus TUF Dash F-15 fx517 is indeed pretty thin and light, especially given its hidden gaming nature.
It meets the military-grade a10h standards despite the smaller chassis.
The keyboard has a 1.5 millimeter travel distance and a numpad section, with wasd keys that are transparent.
The touchpad offers excellent gliding and tracking while also having a much larger surface area compared to last year's model.
There are three panels to choose from, including a 144Hz refresh rate IPS panel and a 165Hz QHD resolution panel that covers 100% of the ultra-wide DCI-P3 gamut.
The battery life is very good, allowing it to reach almost 9 hours of web browsing or a bit less than 7 hours of video playback.

Weaknesses

It reached almost 60 degrees Celsius on the outside when put under heavy load in its predecessor model, and we weren't happy about that.
The base display option may not be the best for color-sensitive work, but it goes easy on the battery life.
If you need maximum performance, you'll have to make the notebook use the discrete GPU, which can boost the frame rate by up to 30%.
The top configuration has an RTX 3070 with 105 watt TGP, which is more than 30% higher than the fx516's best GPU.
The cooling system can still get quite hot under heavy load, although it's improved from its predecessor model.
We'd like to see even more potential unleashed from the CPU via software update.
