To make an informed choice between the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, consider that the ASUS is generally well-regarded for its combination of performance and battery life, offering an excellent balance for both gaming and productivity. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is often chosen for its gaming-centric features and performance, potentially delivering higher frame rates for demanding games at the cost of portability and battery life. If you value long-lasting battery and a lighter build for travel or work on the go, the ASUS might suit you better. However, if you prioritize gaming performance and are less concerned about carrying the device frequently or long battery life, the Gigabyte is a strong contender. Consider how much you'll move with the laptop and what type of tasks you'll perform most often when making your decision. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P compare to other laptops
"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."
"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."
