The ASUS R410MA is a budget-friendly laptop with basic computing capabilities, suitable for general tasks like web browsing, document editing, and streaming media. However, its performance and screen quality may not satisfy those needing it for more demanding applications like 3D rendering or intensive engineering software. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15X is priced higher, offering significantly better performance, a high-quality display, and is suited for gaming, 3D modeling, machine learning, and engineering tasks. It's larger and heavier, making it less portable than the ASUS R410MA. Its battery life is comparable, so choosing between these two would depend on your specific needs and budget. If portability and cost are your primary concerns, the ASUS might suit you, but if you require a high-performance machine for complex tasks and can manage a heavier and bulkier laptop, the Aorus 15X would be the better choice.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15X is good for general use, while the ASUS R410MA is poor.
The ASUS R410MA is suited less for general use due to its lower-end CPU, minimal RAM, lower screen resolution and quality, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15X excels with a powerful CPU, generous RAM, and a high-quality, high-resolution screen, making it very suitable for a range of tasks. However, the Aorus 15X is larger and heavier, which impacts portability, but it compensates with a better battery life, storage, and overall higher build quality.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15X 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 likely has a basic display with limited brightness and low resolution, which affects viewing experiences negatively across general use, engineering/design tasks, and especially gaming, where visuals are key. The Gigabyte Aorus 15X, with very good screen quality for general tasks, suggests a higher resolution and brightness, enhancing everyday activities, yet its engineering and design capability, while good, might lack extensive color gamut coverage needed for professional color work. For gaming and 3D applications, the Aorus 15X's low refresh rate may not provide the smooth visuals demanded by fast-paced games despite having a decent resolution and panel quality.

Matthew Buzzi | August 2021
"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 Gigabyte Aorus 15X is a strong showing of Raptor Lake and RTX 4000 series. While the Aorus had trouble keeping up in older games like Grand Theft Auto V, it nudged past the competition in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It also flexed its next-generation muscle in Far Cry 6 and Borderlands 3. While we were impressed with the overall build quality and design of the Aorus 15X, the keyboard lacked good tactile feedback. The display performed well in real-world testing despite its on-paper shortcoming with brightness, but the speakers are lackluster at best."
