I'm guessing it's pretty much a wash between these 2 but I'm looking to pick up a new laptop today and these are both around the same price ($650) in open box near me.

I'd use them for basically web browsing, ebay things and potentially light gaming (FFXIV is basically the only PC game I play).

It seems the main difference between the two is:

Dell G5 vs ASUS ROG Zephyrus
i7 9th gen vs AMD Ryzen 7 3750
256GB SSD + 1TB HDD vs 512GB SSD
60hz screen vs 120hz screen
6.1lbs vs 4.6lbs

I already purchased the Dell for collection (but can easily cancel) before seeing the ASUS in a closer Best Buy to me (by like 20 mins so not a big deal). At a glance it seems like the ASUS is better? It's slightly worse performance but is lighter and with a better screen and arguably better storage (I'm unlikely to use more than 512GB)

I'm not sure which is the better brand nowadays between Dell and ASUS, I was previously using an MSI where the screen crapped out after 4 years so I figured it would be better to just buy a new laptop rather than replace a screen on a 4 year old laptop
