The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good for general use, while the ASUS R410MA is poor.
The ASUS R410MA has limited memory, a basic CPU, and a lower-quality screen, all of which contribute to a poorer general use experience compared to the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, which excels with a high-end CPU, substantial memory, and an impressive screen for sharper and more vibrant visuals. While the ASUS is more portable and offers better battery life, the Gigabyte Aorus provides a comprehensive performance and quality advantage for demanding tasks and better overall user experience.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS R410MA is poor.
The ASUS R410MA is lacking in CPU, RAM, and GPU power, as well as screen quality which are very important for engineering and design tasks, making it less suitable for such intensive uses. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is equipped with a high-performance CPU, substantial RAM, top-tier GPU, and a high-quality screen, all of which are essential for demanding engineering software and tasks that require detailed visuals.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen than the ASUS R410MA for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS R410MA's screen likely suffers from low resolution and dim brightness, making it less suitable for tasks that require clarity and detail. The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, with brighter and higher resolution display, serves well for engineering and design due to more accurate color representation but falls short for gaming because it lacks a high refresh rate necessary for smooth visuals in fast-paced scenes. Both laptops show a limitation in gaming, but for general use and precision work like engineering or graphic design, the Gigabyte's display offers a better experience.

"The Asus Laptop L410 is a super-affordable PC, even among budget notebooks, compromising on the display and processing power to deliver a serviceable Windows machine with good battery life and useful ports. The build is reasonably solid, there’s a good mix of ports, battery life is long enough, and it can perform basic everyday tasks. On the flip side, the screen is poor, anything other than basic tasks is a tough ask, and it has little memory and even less storage."
"The Aorus 15P is a high-end gaming laptop with fast 360 Hz display. Gaming performance in the Aorus 15P YD is very high thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 installed here. However, with the use of the Intel Core i7-11800H, CPU performance also closes in on the strong competition from AMD. SSD performance is excellent as well, and it leaves no room for criticism. Thanks to the built-in Intel Core i7-11800H, the system performance of the Aorus 15P YD increases significantly."
