Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 17 G733

Strengths

The laptop comes with a powerful Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU and an RTX 3080 GPU, making it ideal for high-end gaming and esports.
The hertz monitor provides smooth visuals in games like Overwatch, although the improvement is not drastic compared to cheaper options.
The optical mechanical keyboard offers a genuine improvement over cheaper laptops with its soft touch paint on the palm rest and 1.9mm total travel distance.
The design features transparent elements that give it a cyberpunky feel, making it a premium device for gamers.
The ROG Keystone feature provides an extra layer of security by allowing you to set certain features on or off depending on whether the RFID keystone is inserted.
The laptop offers great value for its price, coming in under other RTX 3080 laptops like the Alienware M17 R4.

Weaknesses

The hertz monitor's higher frame rate doesn't always translate to a significant improvement over cheaper options, requiring users to fiddle with settings.
The transparent design elements may feel gimmicky or out of place in what's otherwise a premium device.
The ROG Keystone feature is unusual and may not appeal to everyone, although it does provide an extra layer of security.
The laptop's price tag of $3000 may be steep for some users, especially considering the Alienware M17 R4 costs $3600 with comparable components.
The benchmark scores are impressive, but the laptop's performance in certain games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey may not be as high as expected.
Some design elements, such as the transparent end plates and ROG logo animation, may feel flashy or attention-seeking rather than premium.

Dell XPS 13 9345

Strengths

This machine is stupidly small, it's crazy how small this thing is right, uh in a world where 14-inch laptops are kind of replacing 13in in some cases this one really bucks the trend by being as Tiny as you can imagine.
The Snapdragon X Elite processor provides better battery life, pushing less resolution and using less power, making it significantly better than the Intel version.
Performance is topnotch, benchmarks really fast on things like geek bench and experientially it is very Snappy, it's nice so it can do everything your Intel Core Ultra 7 version of this could do and probably a little bit faster.
The base model with full HD Plus display is not bad, it's full srgb coverage, it's not horrible looking and it's 500 nits for brightness.

Weaknesses

Limited ports, which the same negatives exist for the Intel model too
The keyboard can be a problem, if you're okay with the limitation of the ports and the keyboard.
The battery life may decrease when running x86 emulation, it'll hit the battery life a bit more but still this is significantly better than the Intel version.
The speakers are not impressive, I mean it's okay but that part's not woohoo, due to the small chassis.
