Design
The type of laptop.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Uses a fanless design
✖Asus TUF Gaming A15 AMD Ryzen 5 5600H 3.3GHz / 8GB RAM / 512GB SSD
✖Microsoft Surface Pro X SQ1
By using power-efficient components that don't produce large amounts of heat, it's possible to create a device with no cooling fans. This results in a much quieter (or even silent) operation.
Has a backlit keyboard
✔Asus TUF Gaming A15 AMD Ryzen 5 5600H 3.3GHz / 8GB RAM / 512GB SSD
✖Microsoft Surface Pro X SQ1
The keyboard is backlit, making it easier to type in the dark or dim lighting.

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
Display
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
The type of technology used in the display.

Uses flash storage
✔Asus TUF Gaming A15 AMD Ryzen 5 5600H 3.3GHz / 8GB RAM / 512GB SSD
✖Microsoft Surface Pro X SQ1
Flash-based storage devices such as SSDs have no mechanical components. Due to this, they are typically faster, run silently, and are more shock resistant than traditional HDDs.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
