The Gigabyte Aorus 7 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
When considering the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the Gigabyte Aorus 7 for general use, the Gigabyte may offer a more vivid and sharp visual experience due to its higher resolution and brightness, which enhances viewing documents, web browsing, and media consumption. For engineering and design tasks, where color accuracy is paramount, both laptops have capable displays, but the Gigabyte's adherence to color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB ensures that professionals can rely on it for color-sensitive work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the ASUS's lower refresh rate means less fluid motion compared to other laptops tailored for these activities, where higher refresh rates grant gamers smoother visuals and a competitive edge.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the Gigabyte Aorus 7 compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Strix G15, as the first in a line of "AMD Advantage"-branded notebooks, is a statement that yes, you can get a premium AMD gaming notebook. Maybe you can't have it all, but you can get pretty close. The ROG Strix G15's combination of the AMD Ryzen 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, as well as other technologies that take advantage of them, make a potent, thin gaming machine. Powerful Dolby Atmos speakers and long battery life when you aren't gaming are nice bonuses."
"The Gigabyte Aorus 7 is a gaming laptop that is pitched at perhaps the hardest market to get right: the mid-range. So, unlike high-end gaming laptops that can throw the latest and greatest components together in a bid to attract gamers with plenty of money to spend, or budget gaming laptops that can make wise cuts that are justified as long as the price is low enough, mid-rangers like the Gigabyte Aorus 7 have to balance the two."
