The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers higher performance and better build quality, suitable for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering, with a larger storage capacity and more RAM. However, it comes at a midrange price and is heavier, which impacts portability. The Gigabyte G5, conversely, is more affordable with lower midrange pricing, lighter in weight, and thus more portable, but has less RAM, a smaller storage capacity, and a less powerful processor and graphics card. Both have similar screen size, type, and refresh rates, and neither has a touchscreen. The ASUS has a significantly larger battery capacity than the Gigabyte, which may result in a longer battery life. Both are designed with a gaming appearance and released in the same year, but if on a budget and need for portability outweigh performance requirements, the Gigabyte G5 could be preferred.

"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."

"The Gigabyte G5 KE is a midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes. Gigabyte makes good use of the Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU combo, and we find no untoward issues with overall performance. The dual-fan quad-heatpipe cooling arrangement does well to ensure that the underlying hardware doesn't throttle under load. That being said, the display is below par when compared to 2023 standards, especially when competing devices."
