If you prioritize gaming or demanding applications and don't mind a heavier laptop, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P typically offers a slight edge in performance, which could make it worth the additional cost. However, for those who favor a balance between cost and performance and may appreciate saving money, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 can be a worthwhile option, especially if portability isn't a primary concern. Consider how often you'll be carrying your laptop around; if it's frequently, the lighter option may be more convenient in the long run, even if it sacrifices some performance. Give Feedback

Marc Herter | March 2023
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."

"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."
