Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022)

Dell G15 (2022)

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022) is better than the Dell G15 (2022). The ASUS is a more premium device with a sturdier build, and its thin and light design makes it much more portable than the Dell. The ASUS also has a more comfortable keyboard, a larger and more responsive touchpad, and a significantly longer battery life. On the other hand, the Dell doesn't get as hot or loud under load, and its GPU doesn't throttle.
