Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix G18 G815

Strengths

The display looks bright, too.
The keyboard feels nice, too.
No backlight bleed on my camera.
There's no backlight bleed at all. Looks very nice.
RGB even looks better than last year.
Speakers, a little vibration on my table, so I guess they're going to be pretty good.
The screen doesn't even look like an IPS. That's how black the black looks.

Weaknesses

No longer have your Wi-Fi or your P charging light or power light right here no more.
Keys, your QWD, are transparent which might not be a good thing for some people.
Plastic don't feel cheapy like some people are saying.
Not everyone will agree that the plastic doesn't feel cheap.
Some big changes might not sit well with all users.
No back emblem that lights up, but you do got that back RGB, and it looks really bright.
The display looks good from the side, no complaints there.

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.
